How does studying rocks and minerals give us a better understanding of the earth?

When we study rocks and minerals, we begin to learn about the earth's inner features. We found that there are different layers to the earth because as we go deeper into the earth, the rocks change. We learn that as we go deeper down into the earth, we see the history of the earth's past. We learn about past landscapes and when they changed. We also learn how landforms are created.

How do we learn about the earth's history and evoluation through the study of fossils?

We can learn about the history of the earth by studying fossils. We can learn how old some life forms are and how long ago humans existed. We can learn about the ancient landscape by looking at the animals that lived back then. By looking at what happended before we lived, we can predict what the earth may look like in the future.
