science of Earth’s rocks and history
The science that studies rocks, the Earth’s crust, and how the Earth has changed over time.
사용 패턴：
to study [geology]; a degree in [geology]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners often confuse “geology” with “geography.” Geology is about rocks, Earth structures, and how the Earth changes over time. Geography is about places, regions, maps, and how people live in different areas. For example, you study volcanoes and rock layers in geology, but countries and cities in geography.
유의어
earth science (Broader term that includes geology and related sciences like meteorology and oceanography, not just the study of rocks.)
