The Rock Cycle
An understanding of geology requires us to learn how the rocks around us are formed. Learning how all the rocks we see are part of a larger cycle is the first step in understanding geology.

Stratigraphy
The science of stratigraphy is important for the information it tells us about the rock record and how those rocks were originally deposited. The laws and principles set forth by early scientists help modern stratigraphers to know how sediment was originally deposited, to know which rock is older, and how to use fossils to help link different rock units to the same geologic time.

Earth's Interior
What we see of the Earth at the surface is compossed of less than one percent of the Earth's mass. Over 99 percent of the Earth's mass will never be seen or physically studied by geologists. Despite this, geologists know quite a lot about the Earths interior.
