... When plate edges override one another, one of the plates is forced down into the hot mantle and melts. This process is called subduction. Molten crust material is lighter than mantle, and it rises - melting its way through the overlying solid rock and erupting as volcanic lava. When a continental pl ...

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
