1. Introduction to Geology: Geology is one of the five basic disciplines of natural science, which are juxtaposed with mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. Geology is a natural philosophy that explores how the earth evolves. Geology originates from the demand of human society for mineral resources such as oil, coal, metal and nonmetal. Geological and mineral exploration guided by geology is the fundamental source for the survival and development of human society. The object of study is the earth's solid crust-crust or lithosphere. She mainly studies the material composition, internal structure, external characteristics, interlayer interaction and the knowledge system of the earth's evolution history. It is a natural science that studies the earth and its evolution.
Secondly, the cultivation of geology requires that geology is a natural philosophy to explore how the earth evolves. Students in this major mainly study the basic theory and knowledge of geology, train in scientific thinking and practice in basic research and applied basic research, and master the basic skills of geological survey, scientific research, resource development and management.
Third, the geological discipline requires that this major has higher requirements for geography. This major is suitable for students who are interested in natural science and love earth research.
