4-H Geology: Introduction to the Study of the Earth

Geology is the science that studies the earth. It includes the study of materials that make up
the earth, the processes that change it, and the history of how it evolved - including life on
earth. The study of geology is filled with the mystery and adventure of what happened to
former lands and seas, and to plants and animals that lived on or in them millions of years
ago. In this project youth will look at the story of the earth to gain a better understanding of
the earth and the sources of the minerals youth use each day.
