Geologists study the materials, processes, and history of the Earth. They investigate how rocks were formed and what has happened to them since their formation

Bioremediation uses microorganisms to degrade organic contaminants in soil, groundwater, sludge, and solids. The microorganisms break down contaminants by using them as an energy source or cometabolizing them with an energy source.

Formed by the weathering of existing rocks at the Earth’s surface.Fossils may be present, Sediments (small particles of rocks) accumulate into layers and get pressurized due to the newer deposits above them, The sediments are transported by water and wind (erosion).Particles like clays, silts, sands, gravels, and small boulders are found in sediments.

Metamorphic rocks are formed when other rocks are affected by great temperatures and pressures. They do not melt, but the chemicals they contain may change their forms, or crystal shapes.

A shaft mine is a type of underground mining where a vertical or near-vertical tunnel (shaft) is dug deep into the earth to access mineral deposits, such as coal, gold, or other ores. Miners and equipment use this shaft to reach the underground working levels. Shaft mining is commonly used when the mineral deposits are located deep below the surface and are not easily accessible through surface mining methods.

Fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals whose bodies were buried in sediments, such as sand and mud, under ancient seas, lakes and rivers

Formed from existing rocks (can be sedimentary or igneous) that receive heat and/or pressure that cause changes in the rock without melting it.
The changes can be physical, chemical, or both.

Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble and slate.
5 characteristics of Metamorphic Rocks:
	1.	Typically dense and tough.
	2.	May exhibit foliation (layering) or be non-foliated.
	3.	Have a more crystalline texture than sedimentary rocks.
	4.	Can have a shiny or glossy appearance due to mineral alignment.
	5.	Show signs of distortion or deformation, like bending or folding of layers.
he changes can be physical, chemical, or both.

An aquifer is a geological formation, typically consisting of permeable rock or sediment, that can store and transmit groundwater, acting as a natural underground reservoir.

Some examples are the Great Artesian Basin in Australia, the Guarani Aquifer in South America, and the Ogallala Aquifer in the United States.

A aquifer is an underground permeable layer, which allows for the storage and passage of underground water. Aquifers are vital as source oof fresh water in many regions of the world.
