Geology

Editor

Geology generally refers to the nature and characteristics of the earth. It mainly refers to the earth's material composition, structure, structure, development history, etc., including the tectonic development history of the earth's circle differentiation, biological evolution history, climate change history, as well as the occurrence and distribution patterns of mineral resources, etc. In our country, the word "geology" was first seen in "Zhouyi Zhu·Kun" written by King Bi of Wei (226-249) during the Three Kingdoms period, but it was a philosophical concept at that time. The word "geology" in the "Encyclopedia of Geography" published in 1853 (the third year of Xianfeng reign in the Qing Dynasty) is the earliest concept with scientific significance that can be seen in our country.
