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).
Wikipedia
Geology
Geological facts being of an historical nature, all attempts to deduce a complete knowledge of them merely from their still, subsisting consequences, to the exclusion of unexceptionable testimony, must be deemed as absurd as that of deducing the history of ancient Rome solely from the medals or other monuments of antiquity it still exhibits, or the scattered ruins of its empire, to the exclusion of a Livy, a Sallust, or a Tacitus.
Richard Kirwan in: The Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy, Volume 6: Essay on the Primitive State of the Globe and its Subsequent Catastrophe, Royal Irish Academy (Dublin), 1797, p. 236
Wikiquote
Geology
Geology may be defined to be that branch of natural history which investigates the successive changes that have taken place in the organic and inorganic kingdoms of nature. It is a science founded on exact observation and careful induction; it may termed the physical history of our globe; it investigates the structure of the planet on which we live and explains the character and causes of the various changes in the organic and inorganic kingdoms of nature.
William Humble in: Dictionary of geology and mineralogy: comprising such terms in botany., H. Washbourne, 1843, p. 104.
Wikiquote
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.
