Geology and the Earth

A storm-driven wave crashes against the Oregon coast.

(H. Richard Johnston/Tony Stone Images)
Geologi adalah .....
• Kata Geologi pertama kali dipergunakan pada tahun 1473 oleh
Richard de Bury untuk hukum atau ilmu kebumian, sebagai kebalikan
dari istilah teologi
• Ada juga Warren (1960) ➔ Geologia (buku), Jean Andre de luc
(1778), SB de Saussure (Swiss)
• Berasal dari kata Yunani, Geos = bumi, logos = ilmu
• Jadi Geologi adalah ilmu yang mempelajari bumi dan merupakan
kelompok ilmu yang mempelajari bumi secara menyeluruh, asal
mula, struktur, komposisi, sejarahnya (termasuk perkembangan
kehidupan) dan proses2 alam yang telah ada dan sedang
berlangsung, menjadikan bumi seperti saat ini
What Does a Geologist Do?

• Geologists work to understand the history of our planet. The better

they can understand Earth’s history, the better they can foresee how
events and processes of the past might influence the future. Here are
some examples:
• Geologists study Earth processes: Many processes such as
landslides, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions can be
hazardous to people.

• Geologists work to understand the history of our planet. The better they can
understand Earth’s history, the better they can foresee how events and processes
of the past might influence the future. Here are some examples:
• Geologists study Earth materials: People use Earth materials
every day. They use oil that is produced from wells, metals that
are produced from mines, and water that has been drawn from
streams or from underground. Geologists conduct studies that
locate rocks that contain important metals, plan the mines that
produce them and the methods used to remove the metals from
the rocks. They do similar work to locate and produce oil, natural
gas, and groundwater.

• Geologists study Earth history: Today we are concerned about
climate change. Many geologists are working to learn about the
past climates of Earth and how they have changed across time.
This historical geology news information is valuable to understand
how our current climate is changing and what the results might
be.
