Few Notes:

Geology (in Greek, Geo means Earth, Logos means Science) is a branch of science dealing with the study of the Earth. It is also known as earth science. The study of the earth comprises of the whole earth, its origin, structure, composition and history (including the development of life) and the nature of the processes.

DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF GEOLOGY

(vii) Paleontology          (xv) Photo Geology

(viii) Historical Geology

(i) Physical Geology

As a branch of geology, it deals with the “various processes of physical agents such as wind, water, glaciers and sea waves”, run on these agents go on modifying the surface of the earth continuously.

Physical geology includes the study of Erosion, Transportation and Deposition (ETD).

The study of physical geology plays a vital role in civil engineering thus:

(a) It reveals constructive and destructive processes of physical agents at a particular site.

(b) It helps in selecting a suitable site for different types of project to be under taken after studying the effects of physical agents which go on modifying the surface of the earth physically, chemically and mechanically.

(ii) Crystallography

As a branch of geology, it deals with ‘the study of crystals’. A crystal is a regular polyhedral form bounded by smooth surfaces.

The study of crystallography is not much important to civil engineering, but to recognize the minerals the study of crystallography is necessary.
