		Geology is divided into several fields, which can be grouped under the major headings of physical and historical geology.
		Historical geology deals with the historical development of the earth from the study of its rocks.
		Historical geology includes paleontology, the systematic study of past life forms; stratigraphy, of layered rocks and their interrelationships; paleogeography, of the locations of ancient land masses and their boundaries; and geologic mapping, the superimposing of geologic information upon existing topographic maps.

	Historical geology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historical geology is the use of the principles of geology to reconstruct and understand the history of the Earth.
		The discovery of radioactivity and the development of a variety of radiometric dating techniques in the first half of the 20th century provided a means of deriving absolute versus relative ages of geologic history.
		Economic geology, the search for and extraction of energy and raw materials, is heavily dependent on an understanding of the geological history of an area.

	Geology - MSN Encarta
		Geology, study of the planet earth, its rocky exterior, its history, and the processes that act upon it.
		The word geology comes from the Greek geo, “earth,” and logia, “the study of.” Geologists seek to understand how the earth formed and evolved into what it is today, as well as what made the earth capable of supporting life.
		The field of geology includes subfields that examine all of the earth's systems, from the deep interior core to the outer atmosphere, including the hydrosphere (the waters of the earth) and the biosphere (the living component of earth).

	Historical geology Summary
		All areas of geologic study are subdisciplines of either historical geology, which focuses on the chemical, physical, and biological history of Earth, or physical geology, which is the study of Earth materials and processes.
		Studies in historical geology rely on the rock record for factual information about Earth's past.
		This is a convenient way of representing the vast amounts of time and the numerous details of historical geology in a way that is easily expressed and understood.
