Pengertian
Geology: The study of the Earth as a whole, its origin,
structure, composition, and history (including the
development of life), and the nature of the processes
which have given rise to its present state.

Whitten, DGA and Brooks, JRV. 1977. The Penguin Dictionary of

Geology. Middlesex: Penguin Books. p. 204.

Why Study Geology?
Because geology is all around us.
1. Geological Resources
2. The Environment Environmental
3. Geological Hazards Geology
(Changes posing risks)
4. Engineering
5. Landforms and Surface Processes
6. Historical Geology
Geology forms the basis of our great civilizations

 Why Study Geology?
1. Geological Resources
The Cradle of
Civilization (Fertile
Crescent)
Development limited
by availability, e.g.,
soil, water, energy
Conflicts based on
resources, e.g., http://encarta.msn.com/
water, minerals, oil
 Misuse of Resources
2. The Environment
These Maps illustrate the
Fertile Crescent in 1973 (top)
and 2000 (bottom).
Permanent marshlands,
pictured in green, have shrunk
90 percent in that period.

2. The Environment (Geology in the News)
1.7 billion are joining the consumer class
and the environment wont sustain this
standard of living (Worldwatch Institute
2004)

Emissions of Greenhouse gasses is

accelerating global warming

Climate change is accelerating melting of

glaciers and driving mass extinctions

The Leaning Tower Straightens Up

In Pisa the tilted one is back in
business after an 11-year effort
to keep it from collapsing
Committee member John
Burland, an engineer,
promoted soil extraction as the
best way to save the tower.

geology to design, protect
and correct structures www.smithsonianmag.si.edu
