Geology

The Painted Hills is a geologic site in Wheeler County, Oregon

In geology, igneous differentiation, or magmatic differentiation, is an umbrella term for the various processes by which magmas undergo bulk chemical change during the partial melting process, cooling, emplacement, or eruption.

A mineral deposit is any geologically significant concentration of an economically useful rock or mineral present in a specified area.

Ore deposits are usually classified by ore formation processes and geological setting.

In ore deposit geology, supergene processes or enrichment are those that occur relatively near the surface as opposed to deep hypogene processes.

Partial melting is an important process in geology with respect to the chemical differentiation of crustal rocks.

Ground subsidence is of global concern to geologists, geotechnical engineers, surveyors, engineers, urban planners, landowners, and the public in general.

The North China Craton is a continental crustal block with one of Earth's most complete and complex records of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic processes

The South China Craton or South China Block is one of the Precambrian continental blocks in China

The East European Craton (EEC) is the core of the Baltica proto-plate and consists of three crustal regions/segments: Fennoscandia to the northwest, Volgo-Uralia to the east, and Sarmatia to the south

A continent is any of several large terrestrial geographical regions

In geology, a supercontinent is the assembly of most or all of Earth's continental blocks or cratons to form a single large landmass

Avalonia was a microcontinent in the Paleozoic era

Continental crustal fragments, partly synonymous with microcontinents, are pieces of continents that have broken off from main continental masses to form distinct islands that are often several hundred kilometers from their place of origin.

Monte Bolca is an Early Eocene-aged geologic site located near Verona, Italy

In geology, a terrane (; in full, a tectonostratigraphic terrane) is a crust fragment formed on a tectonic plate (or broken off from it) and accreted or "sutured" to crust lying on another plate.

In geology, a craton ( KRAYT-on, KRAT-on, or KRAY-tən; from Ancient Greek κράτος (kratos) 'strength') is an old and stable part of continental lithosphere (the Earth's two topmost layers, the crust and the lithospheric mantle).

In crystallography, the cubic (or isometric) crystal system is a crystal system where the unit cell is in the shape of a cube.

In crystallography, the monoclinic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems.

In crystallography, the orthorhombic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems.

In crystallography, the tetragonal crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems.

In crystallography, the triclinic (or anorthic) crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems.

The expanding Earth or growing Earth was a hypothesis attempting to explain the position and relative movement of continents by increase in the volume of Earth.

The Gaia hypothesis (), also known as the Gaia theory, Gaia paradigm, or the Gaia principle, proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet.
