Surface Geology

Surface geology refers to the study of Earth's outermost layer, focusing on the rocks, soils, and landforms visible at the surface. It examines how geological processes like erosion, sedimentation, and weathering shape the landscape over time. Understanding surface geology helps in identifying mineral resources, assessing natural hazards, and planning construction or land use. It provides insights into the Earth's history, revealing clues about past environments and geological events that have influenced the land we see today.
