Rocks
Rocks form and change through a natural process called
The Rock Cycle
Why is it called Hydrology?
Because it is concerned with all the aspects of water available on earth.
What does GeO mean?
Earth : Ground : Soil.
What is Climate Change?
Long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.
What’s astronomy?
It is the study of everything in the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
A rock formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
Igneous Rock
What do Hydrologists do?
Study how water moves across and through the Earth’s crust.
How is chemistry used?
To investigate the amount and distribution of chemical elements in rocks and minerals.
How does climate change affect us?
It affects the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the weather we experience.

What are the three processes that change one rock to another?
Crystallization, metamorphism, erosion and sedimentation
What are the branches of Hydrology?
Chemical Hydrology, Ecohydrology, and Hydrogeology
What does a geochemist do?
Study the composition, structure, processes, and other physical aspects of the Earth.
How is climate change affecting the planet?
It is making the climate hotter and more dangerous heat waves.
Who founded astronomy?
The first documented records of astronomy dated back to Assyro-Babylonians.
