520 3  The environmental field has evolved since its beginnings 
       in 1970 with the creation of the US Environmental 
       Protection Agency (EPA), and further with the 1980 passage
       of CERCLA legislation (Comprehensive Environmental 
       Response, Compensation, and Liability Act), commonly known
       as Superfund. Many site characterization studies and 
       remediation designs have also evolved since that time. In 
       order for the Environmental Engineer to understand the 
       behavior and design remediation of the chemicals and 
       pollutants in the environment, knowledge of the principles
       and tenets of geology is critical. Geology means the study
       of the Earth and is the science that seeks to collect, 
       correlate, and interpret facts concerning the Earth. Its 
       scope is almost boundless. The cycle that gives origin to 
       the different types of rock and the geologic processes 
       that produce the soils is discussed. On a macro scale, it 
       seeks to discover the origin of the Earth, of mountains, 
       valleys, glaciers, rocks, volcanoes, and a myriad number 
       of other phenomena. Plate tectonics, continental drift, 
       and subduction zones all played a role in the formation of
       our planet. On the micro scale, geology seeks to 
       understand fluid flow through small pores and fractures. 
       The fate and transport of chemicals through soils and 
       especially through bedrock is a function of the geology. 
       The rock structure and its understanding of the geologic 
       processes which produce fractures and allows fluid flow is
       a major factor in remediation design.
