Pengertian dan cara belajar geologi

Geology is the study of the Earth as a
whole, its origin, structure, composition,
and history (including the development of
life), and the nature of the processes
which have given rise to its present
state.

Whitten, DGA and Brooks, JRV. 1977. The Penguin

Dictionary of Geology. Middlesex: Penguin
Books. p. 204.

Pengertian dan cara belajar geologi

Mengikuti pendidikan kebumian
Lokatama untuk belajar geologi:
Perpustakaan termasuk internet
Laboratorium (studio) dan museum
geologi
Lapangan
Sebagaimana pembelajaran ilmu alam yang
lain, dalam menghadapi bahan atau
fenomena geologi perlu dilakukan:
Observasi (pengamatan),
Analisis, dan
Sintesis

Pengertian dan cara belajar geologi

Perhatikan
Belum dikatakan belajar geologi jika
belum ke perpustakaan,
laboratorium, dan lapangan (survei)!
Apakah FTM UPN Veteran
Yogyakarta memfasilitasi
pembelajaran di 3 (tiga) lokatama
termasuk museum tersebut di
atas?

1. Geological Resources
The Cradle of
Civilization

Crescent)
Development
limited by
availability, e.g.,
soil, water,
energy
Conflicts based
on resources,
e.g., water,
minerals, oil
