Geology of Our National Parks

Geology is the study of the origin, composition, structure, processes, and history of the Earth incorporating related science concepts from chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics. The U.S. National Parks are a great platform for learning these basics of geology, as well as peripheral interdisciplinary and non-scientific aspects of the parks, such as the important interplay between geologic processes (and products) and humans.
