This resource gives short descriptions of how sedimentary deposition occurs in rivers, lakes, river mouths, coral reefs, glaciers, arid environments, and tropical environments.

Learn the process by which metamorphic rocks are created, where they are located, and how they are identified by texture (foliated and non-foliated) and mineral composition.

A comprehensive site on plate tectonics and the Earth. Read how the oceanic and continental crusts, as well as the heat and the pressure within the Earth affect plate tectonics.

A good resource if you want a quick overview of the formation process for igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock.

Read about the pioneers in Earth's geologic history and their discovery of how the process of uniformitarianism shaped the study of evolution.

Scientists noticed animals with backbones share similar bone structure despite having different forms, such as fins, arms, and wings. Young scientists gain an appreciation for evolution by understanding the history of the theory. They...
