How much notice do we take of the rocks beneath our feet, and the rocks that make up the landscape all around us? For geologists the study of rock in all its varied forms is the most important subject of them all. It's a fact that we are all living on a huge rocky mass that's hurtling through space, and by examining the history and formation of rocks, we can learn a lot about our history and about our future.
