Geologie und Erdwissenschaften - eine Einführung
Aktualisiert: 4. Jul. 2022 13:15 GMT - Neu laden
Geologe stammt von den griechischen Worten gea=Erde und logos=Studium ab. Als Wissenschaft beschreibt sie also unsere Erde, auf der wir leben. Im engeren Sinne beschäftigt sie sich als Naturwissenschaft v.a. mit dem Aufbau der zum größten Teil festen Erde, ihren Gesteinen, den Prozessen im Inneren und Äußeren, die sie v.a. an der Oberfläche ständig verändern.
Besonders bedeutend sind dabei das Wirken von Vulkanen und Erdbeben.
Die nachfolgenden Unterabschnitte sind in absehbarer Zeit zum Großteil allerdings nur in der englischen Version verfügbar.

Introduction to Plate Tectonics
The Earth's upper, rigid layer is broken into several plates which are in constant motion to one another. Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur as result of these plate boundaries.

Volcanoes in the Solar System
The Earth is not the only place with volcanic activity. Active volcanism also occurs at at least 3 other bodies in our Solar System.

Igneous or magmatic rocks
The most primitive rock type forms when magma (molten rock) solidifies - either inside the earth (plutonic rocks) or during volcanic eruptions (volcanic rocks). A short overview.
