Have you ever looked at the earth and wonder what secrets it holds from the lakes, seas and the major environmental sites that most people can’t explain? One way to understand it all is by taking up geology as most of your questions will get answered there. Do you wish to learn about geology? The quiz will help you do so. Try it out and tell us what you think.
