Petrology
Petrology is the branch of geology that dives into how rocks originate, what they’re made of, how their textures and structures reflect the forces that formed them — from molten magma solidifying to deep-burial metamorphism and surface sedimentary layering. In this category, you’ll explore the chemical and physical story behind every rock type, understand how they transform through geological time, and see why engineers, geologists and field-practitioners care deeply about their composition and behaviour.
