Geology is an applied science, dealing with the study of the origin and evolution of the structure of our planet. Geologists examine the physical properties of the Earth to understand its history, predict natural/man-made disasters, find out about past and current climate patterns, and explore renewable and non-renewable resources.

Geological findings are applied to the fields of remote sensing, resource mapping, computer simulations, and recycling technology.
