Geologists examine rocks, minerals, fossils, and landforms to understand:
* The composition and structure of the Earth: from its core to its surface.
* The history of the Earth: including the formation of continents, mountains, oceans, and the evolution of life.
* Natural resources: like oil, gas, water, and minerals.
* Environmental issues: such as climate change, pollution, and natural hazards.
