Who am I? And what's so cool about Geology?

My name is Isabella and I'm a new reporter for  KWX-7 marine news. I'm still learning the ropes, but basically my job is to travel all around the world to investigate scientific mysteries mainly relating to geology. What is geology? Well, the first word that pop's into your head might be, ROCK.

The definition of Geology  is the study of the Earth, it's materials (what it's made out of), the way those materials are arranged (structure), and what is happening to them. So the earth is actually made up of more things than rocks believe it or not! There are all sorts of organism's that have inhabited the planet and geologists often measure how these materials, structures, and processes adapt as time passes.

I will also be teaching you about volcanoes, earthquakes, AND ...drumroll... PLATES. No, not dishes, but all sorts of plate boundaries! --> Divergent plates, Convergent plates, and Transform plates too! Be sure to stay tuned folks, there's more to come next time!

With a warm welcome to my blog,

may i say farewell for now 

Isabella!

P.S. My first trip is to Iceland, and we will be learning about Divergent plates :)
