Adam Sedgwick

Adam Sedgwick was a 19th-century British geologist and professor, renowned for his work in studying Earth's layers and the history of the planet. He played a key role in developing the geological time scale by identifying and naming different rock formations and periods. Sedgwick also mentored Charles Darwin and was influential in advancing geology as a scientific discipline. His contributions helped us understand Earth's ancient past, including how different rocks and fossils reveal the history of life over millions of years. He was dedicated to both scientific discovery and education, shaping the way we study Earth's history today.
