Exploring Earth's Geology: Understanding Physical Characteristics and Plate Movements

This section delves into the study of geology, focusing on the Earth's physical characteristics. Geologists analyze the dynamic changes occurring on the Earth's surface, providing insights into past events and predicting future developments. The Earth's structure comprises layers including the core, mantle, and crust, each playing a vital role in geological processes. Furthermore, we explore the various types of plate movements such as subduction, spreading, converging, and faulting, crucial for understanding tectonic activity and the formation of geological features.
