times,peoplewondered about the world that laybeyond the horizon.They thoughtabout whether Earth was flat or round,how old it was,and how it had begun.They tried to figure out what unleashedthe destructive power of earthquakesand volcanoes,and how mountains,lakes,and valleys were formed.  \nGEOLOGY,AN EARTH SCIENCE,is a vast field of study that covers allthe features on and under the planetsurface,from the upper atmosphereto the ocean depths.Geologists studycontinents,landforms,soil,Earth'sinterior,mountains,islands,oceans,ice,and climate.They examine rocksand minerals to find out about Earth'sstructure,formation,and history.  \nMost people now know that Earth isa round,rocky ball—a small planet  \nSince the dawn of time,people have  \nasked questions about Earth's shape and
