The outer 75 km (with big variations between 10 and 300km) of the earth is a region which does not get heated up to near-melting because it is losing heat rapidly to the surface - it is stuck at a temperature close to 0°C. This relatively cool shell is called the lithosphere. The lithosphere is frac ...

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.
