Geology simply means earth Science. It deals with the study of the origin, history composition, and the structure of the Earth.
In 1795, Scottish Geologist James Hutton suggested that Earth was continually changing as a result of erosion and mountain-building forces. In 1815, English engineer William Smith drew a map showing the layers of different ages. Geologist plotted a chart that shows in rock layers and fossils overtime. In the 1900's, they proved that Earth's land forms had originally been one large continent named Pangea. Later Pangea broke up into smaller continents that drifted very slowly apart. This movement called continental shift.
