Weekly Blog : Victor N. 8B "Metamorphic Rock" "Sedimentary Rock" "Igneous Rock" Fossil "ORGANISM" cards Summary This week, we have learned many things. This week, we learned that geology is the study of the planet Earth and the forces that make and shape the Earth. Uniformitarianism, or Abram's principle are things that happened in the past and it help geologists understand Earth's history.
