Do you know what lies beneath your feet? Could it be a treasure trove of silver, gold, oil, coal, an underground river, ancient fossils, or a hidden cave? When you gaze at Mt. Nittany, do you know how old it is, how it was formed, or how long it will last? When you heard about the devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti or the eruption of the volcano in Iceland, did you wonder if anyone knew that these events were going to happen ahead of time? Could something like that ever happen here? All of these questions (and a lot more) may be answered once you have an understanding of geology.

So dig in and find out why geology rocks!
