Geology

Geology is the study of the Earth’s materials, their formation, and the processes that shape them. It involves examining rocks, minerals, and the Earth’s physical structure to understand our planet’s history. The Sahara Desert’s geology features ancient rocks like sandstone and limestone, exposed due to minimal vegetation. This region includes unique formations like the Richat Structure, which provide insights into geological history. The Sahara’s geology reflects a dynamic past of climatic and tectonic changes, making it a key area for geological research.
