Course Description for Diploma In Geology And Mineral Science
Geology is the study of the Earth's physical structure, composition, and history, including the processes that shape it. It encompasses everything from the study of rocks and minerals to the behavior of earthquakes and volcanoes, and the evolution of life on Earth. Mineral science, on the other hand, is the study of minerals and their properties, including their formation, identification, and uses in technology and industry. Together, geology and mineral science provide a comprehensive understanding of the Earth's natural resources and how they can be sustainably managed.
