Scope Of Geology

Scope Of Geology.......
                         
It is a well established interdisciplinary branch of Science and has a scope in different fields:

         

          Marine Geologist

           Studies marine environment. With the help of remote sensing they locate old

           rocks and vegetations and effects on sea and atmosphere.

          Petrologist
 Conducts explorations for new oil and gas fields both the onshore and offshore

          activity. All types of survey like geophysical and seismic surveys are carried out

          before drilling

          Geohydrologist

           Locates and assesses sources of water and also find threats which can pollute the

           water.

           Hydrologist

          Studies underground sources of water and all related parameters to it like

          infiltration and pollution threats.

          Paleontologist

          Works with fossils (dead remain of creatures and plants). They estimate their age

          and try to find how the earth was at that time and what lead to their deaths.

          Seismologist

          Works with movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, which causes earthquakes.

          Surveyor

           Collects data about land and sea and maintain a database and keep monitoring

           the changes in data with past and present values.

What is Geology?

              Geology                                                                                              The word Geology is formed by combination of two Greek words that are "Geo" meaning "Earth" and "Logos" meaning "Discourse". Geology is the Science that deals with the Origin, Structure and history of development of the Earth including its Rocky Lithosphere, Liquid Hydrosphere, Gaseous Atmosphere, Living and Extinct Biosphere. Geology involves studying the material that makeup the Earth, the Features and Structures found on Earth as well as process that act on them. Geology is the unique branch of Science that deals with Past and Present processes that act on Earth, their migrations and extinctions. It deals ...

HOW TO MAKE A GEOLOGICAL REPORT?

What is a GEOLOGICAL REPORT? Geological reports are concise, informative and well documented reports used to present, analyse and summarise field data for both industry and research purposes. They should be accompanied by geological maps, figures, stratigraphic columns, tables, graphs etc. PREPARATION First plan the layout, section by section; then draft each section using all your notes, maps, laboratory results and references gathered from other sources. Then list the illustrations needed to support the text. Finally, lay sections out in your choosen order, before gathering them together to edit  them. Does not spare the paper, allow plenty of room between the lines and at the margins for corrections, alterations and additions. REVISION AND EDITING First, a rough draft gets the essential facts and information in order. The next stage is to revise it and re-edit. The order of some paragraphs may need changing, spelling mistakes corrected, grammar improved. Indicate where illustr...
