Geology is an extremely fascinating natural science that deals with fundamental questions about the development of the earth and the associated factors and processes. Geology is a highly topical and interdisciplinary natural science that uses the knowledge and methods of other natural sciences, especially chemistry, physics and biology as well as mathematics, to explore our earth. Geology deals with different time scales, ranging from the formation of the earth through the origin of life to the emergence of man and to the present. However, geology also deals with the earth in the future, since knowledge of the important geological processes also allows predictions about future developments.
