Introduction to Earth Science
1) What are the basic differences between the
disciplines of physical and historical geology?
A) Physical geology is the
study of fossils and
sequences of rock strata; historical geology is the
study of how rocks and minerals were used in the
past.
B) Historicalgeology involves the study of rock strata,

scale as a reference; physical geology includes the study
of how rocks form and of how erosion shapes the land
surface.
