"Planetary Geology: A Global Perspective"

"Planetary Geology: A Global Perspective" examines the formation and evolution of planets, moons, and other celestial bodies throughout the universe. It combines insights from geology, astronomy, and planetary science to understand the processes that shape these bodies—like volcanic activity, erosion, and impact cratering. This field investigates features such as mountains, valleys, and atmospheres, revealing similarities and differences between Earth and other planets. By analyzing data from space missions and telescopes, scientists gain a comprehensive view of how planetary environments develop and change over time, enhancing our understanding of Earth's place in the solar system and beyond.
