geology?

A) Physical geology is the study of fossils and sequences of rock strata; historical
m m m m m m m m m m m m




geology is the study of how rocks and minerals were used in the past.

B) Historical geology involves the study of rock strata, fossils, and geologic events,
m m m m m m m m m m m




utilizing the geologic time scale as a reference; physical geology includes the study of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




how rocks form and of how erosion shapes the land surface.
m m m m m m m m m m m




C) Physical geology involves the study of rock strata, fossils, and deposition in relation to
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




plate movements in the geologic past; historical geology charts how and where the plates

were moving in the past.
