• Geology in 100 questions addresses one of the most important sciences that rests on three pillars: Stratigraphy, Mineralogy and Paleontology. With this work the reader will acquire deep knowledge in Geology thanks to the material that accompanies the text (images, glossaries of terms, chronologies, maps, etc.).
• Geology has become a matter of required study thanks to the rise of other subjects such as Geomorphology, the study of the atmosphere and the hydrosphere, Crystallography, Petrology and Geophysics, disciplines and concepts that have strongly resurfaced in the last years.
