B.Sc. Geology
‘Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice’ – Will Durant –
Geology is study of the Earth……………… a fascinating subject indeed.
Geology deals with the Earth and its components – primarily rocks and minerals. Geologists focus on various processes operating within and outside the Earth and its effects on a regional and global scale. Earth’s resources are studied, explored and assessed by geologists. Natural hazards namely earthquake, landslide, flood, volcanic eruption and tsunami are best analyzed and understood by geologists. This branch of science study rivers, deserts, oceans, glaciers and mountains apart from rocks, minerals and fossils. Evolution of the Earth and its fauna and flora through time is part of geology.
