Plate Tectonics and Astrobiology
... What does plate tectonics have to do with astrobiology? Plate Tectonics refers to the very slow (few cm per year) movement of ‘plates’ of planetary crust across the surface of the Earth, as well as the effects produced at the boundaries of these adjacent plates. It is fundamentally caused by the sti ...

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.
