What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Haha right? It's literally a paper about core--mantle interaction and they go with "THERES GOLD IN THE CORE!" People really only care about geology when it's about finding ore deposits or oil. Except kids, kids love geology because rocks are cool. Adults need to be more like kids when it comes to science.
