Geologist Day |
06 April |
Geologists Day takes place on the first Sunday in April every year. Finally, a day dedicated to a woefully underrated science. Without geologists, we would know nothing about the history of the earth. Earth is over 4.5 billion years old. The ground we walk on is ever-changing, always moving. Who can tell us that for certain? Geologists. Geology is a science that studies the materials, natural features, and processes found on earth. It also studies the history of all life that’s ever lived — from the time of the dinosaurs till date. Pretty incredible, right? The first Geologists Day was established by scientists in the former Soviet Union in April 1966. Interested in subject and want to pursue it?
