Test: check whether Geology is the right major for you!

1. Are you curious about Earth's history, rock formations, and how landscapes evolve over time?

2. Do you enjoy fieldwork—being outdoors, traversing terrain, observing and collecting samples?

3. Are you interested in identifying minerals, rocks, and interpreting geological maps?

4. Do you enjoy integrating chemistry, physics, and spatial thinking to explain natural phenomena?

5. Are you patient and thorough when piecing together complex evidence from fragmentary data?

6. Are you interested in environmental issues like resource management, hazards (earthquakes, landslides), or climate change from a geological perspective?

7. Do you enjoy using tools like GIS, remote sensing, or geological modeling software?

8. Are you comfortable working in teams and communicating your findings to scientists, engineers, or the public?

9. Are you intrigued by the idea of exploring subsurface resources or understanding Earth's internal processes?

10. Are you willing to continuously update your knowledge as new geological data and methods emerge?

Definitions and quotes

Geology
Geology (from the Ancient Greek γῆ, gē, i.e. "earth" and -λoγία, -logia, i.e. "study of, discourse") is an earth science concerned with the solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time. Geology can also refer to the study of the solid features of any terrestrial planet or natural satellite, (such as Mars or the Moon).
Geology
Geology is as intimately related to almost all the physical sciences, as is history to the moral.
William Humble in: “Dictionary of geology and mineralogy: comprising such terms in botany”, p. 104.
Geology
Earth records its own history.

Geology
Geology is an exact science too. Many factors of geological phenomena can be measured and grouped in "correlation structures," aspects of which can be treated mathematically.
