PHYSICAL GEOLOGY
Investigates the materials composing the
Earth and seeks to understand the many
processes that operate beneath and upon its

HISTORY
MODERN SCHOLARS
FIELDING H. GARRISON
believes that modern geology began in the
medieval Islamic world Abu al Rayhan al
Biruni (973 1048 AD) was one of the earliest
geology of India, hypothesizing that the Indian sub
continent was once a sea
HISTORY
IbnSina (Avicenna, 981-1037)
Proposed detailes explanations for the
formation of mountains, the origin of
earthquakes, and other topics central to
modern Geology, which provided an essential
foundation for the later development of
science.
HISTORY
ShenKua (1031-1095), China, a polymath
Formulated a hypothesis for the process of
land formation
Based on his observation of fossil animal
shells in a geological stratum in mountain
hundreds of miles from the ocean, he inferred
that the land was formed by erosion of the
mountains and by deposition of silt

HISTORY
NICOLAS STENO (1638-1686)
is credited with:
1. the law of superposition
- an axiom that forms one of the bases of the
sciences of geology, archeology, and other fields
dealing with geological stratigraphy.
- it states that in undeformed stratigraphic sequences,
the oldest strata will be at the bottom of the
sequence
HISTORY
JEAN ANDRE DELUC first used that word
geology in 1778.
HORACE BENEDICT DE SAUSSURE
introduced geology as a fixed term
WILLIAM SMITH (1769-1839) drew some of
the first geological maps and began the process
of ordering rock strata (layers) by examining the
fossils contained in them.

HISTORY
JAMES HUTTON is often viewed as the first modern
geologist.
Presented a paper entitled, Theory of the Earth in 1785, to
the Royal Society of Edinburgh
He explained that the Earth must be much older than had
previously been supposed in order to allow enough time
for mountains to be eroded and for sediments to form new
rocks at the bottom of the seas, which in turn were raised
uo to become dry land.
He published a two-volume version of his ideas in 1795.
Followers of Hutton were known as Plutonists because
they believed that some rocks had settled out a large
ocean whose level gradually dropped over time.

HISTORY
SIR CHARLES LYELL first published
his famous book, Principles of Geology,
in 1830.
this book influenced the thought of Charles
Darwin, successfully promoted the doctrine
of uniformitarianism
Doctrine of Uniformitarianism
- This theory states that slow geological
processes have occurred throughout the Earths
history and are still occurring today.
* This theory was not totally accepted at that time it
was presented by Hutton
HISTORY
19TH CENTURY
geology revolves around the question of the
Earths exact age
estimates varied from 100,000 to billions of
years
HISTORY
20TH CENTURY
Radiometric dating allowed the Earths age to
be estimated at two billion years
This opened doors to new theories about the
processes that shaped the planet
HISTORY
HISTORY
THE PLATE TECTONIC THEORY
- Revolutionized the Earth Science
- (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the
Greek: "pertaining to
building") is a scientific theory that
describes the large-scale motion of
Earths lithosphere.

3. What is Relative Dating?
4. What is Absolute Dating?
GEOLOGIC
TIME SCALE
RELATIVE DATING
First emerged as a
formal science
Cross cutting
relations can be
used to determine
the relative ages of
rock strata and other
geological
structures.
RELATIVE DATING
is the science of determining the relative order of
past events (i.e., the age of an object in
comparison to another), without necessarily
determining their absolute age, (i.e. estimated
age).
In geology rock or superficial deposits, fossils
and lithologies can be used to correlate one
stratigraphic column with another.
RELATIVE DATING
Though relative dating can only determine
the sequential order in which a series of events
occurred, not when they occur, it remains a
useful technique especially in materials lacking
radioactive isotopes.
Relative dating by biostratigraphy is the
preferred method in paleontology, and is in
some respects more accurate (Stanley, 167
69).

RELATIVE DATING
ABSOLUTE DATING
The process of determining an age on a
specified time scale in archaeology and geology.
Some scientists prefer the
terms chronometric or calendar dating, as use of
the word "absolute" implies an unwarranted
certainty and precision.
provides a numerical age or range in contrast
with relative dating which places events in order
without any measure of the age between events.
ABIGAIL MARIE UMALI HERNANDEZ,
R.N., M.A.N
UNIVERSITY OF BATANGAS LIPA CITY
ABSOLUTE DATING
In archeology, absolute dating is usually based on the
physical, chemical, and life properties of the materials of
artifacts, buildings, or other items that have been modified
by humans and by historical associations with materials
with known dates (coins and written history).
Techniques include tree rings in timbers, radiocarbon dating
of wood or bones, and trapped charge dating methods
such asthermoluminescence dating of glazed ceramics.
Coins found in excavations may have their production date
written on them, or there may be written records describing
the coin and when it was used, allowing the site to be
associated with a particular calendar year.
ABSOLUTE DATING
In geology, the primary methods of absolute
dating involve using the radioactive decay of
elements trapped in rocks or minerals, including
isotope systems from very young (radiocarbon
dating with 14C) to systems such as
uranium-lead dating that allow acquisition of
absolute ages for some of the oldest rocks on
earth.
ABSOLUTE DATING
METHODS OF GEOLOGY
Petrology (from the Greek , petra,
"rock" and , logos, "study") is the
branch of geology that studies the origin,
composition, distribution and structure of
rocks.
METHODS OF GEOLOGY
Stratigraphy-the study of sedimentary
layers), and
structural geology-the study of positions of
rock units and their deformation
Field Methods
Geological mapping
Structural mapping: the locations of major rock units
and the faults and folds that led to their placement
there.
Stratigraphic mapping: the locations of sedimentary
facies (lithofacies and biofacies) or the mapping of
isopachs of equal thickness of sedimentary rock
Surficial mapping: the locations of soils and surficial
deposits
Field Methods
Surveying of topographic features
Creation of topographic maps
Work to understand change across
landscapes, including:
Patterns of erosion and deposition
River channel change through migration and
avulsion
Hill slope processes
High-resolution stratigraphy
Measuring and describing stratigraphic
sections on the surface
Well drilling and logging
Collection of samples
for geochronology and thermochronology
Glaciology: measurement of
characteristics of glaciers and their motion

The Crust
This is where we live!
The Earths crust is made
of:
Continental Crust
- thick (10-70km)
- buoyant (less dense
than oceanic crust)
mostly

Oceanic Crust
- thin (~7 km)
- dense (sinks under
continental crust)
- young
If you look at a map of the world, you may notice that some of the
continents could fit together like pieces of a puzzle.
Plate Tectonics
The Earths crust is divided into 12 major
plates which are moved in various directions.
This plate motion causes them to collide, pull
apart, or scrape against each other.
Each type of interaction causes a characteristic
set of Earth structures or tectonic features.
The word, tectonic, refers to the deformation of
the crust as a consequence of plate interaction.

Convergent Boundaries
There are three styles of convergent
plate boundaries
Continent-continent collision
Continent-oceanic crust collision
Ocean-ocean collision
Continent-Continent Collision
Forms mountains, e.g. European Alps, Himalayas
Himalayas
Subduction
Oceanic lithosphere
subducts underneath the
continental lithosphere
Oceanic lithosphere heats
and dehydrates as it
subsides
The melt rises forming
volcanism
E.g. The Andes
When two oceanic plates collide, one runs over the other
which causes it to sink into the mantle forming a
subduction zone.
The subducting plate is bent downward to form a very
deep depression in the ocean floor called a trench.
The worlds deepest parts of the ocean are found along
trenches.
E.g. The Mariana Trench is 11 km deep!
