Our transcription: With it's abundant water, moderate temperature, and oxygen rich atmosphere, Earth is the ideal habitat for life, the only such place in our solar system. To understand why the Earth is so extraordinary, it's necessary to trace the historical development of our planet and to understand the processes of nature which operate today. This is what the science of geology is all about. Geologists do more than collect rocks and catalog fossils. Geology is a study of the whole Earth, and the goal of geologic research is to understand as best we can how the entire Earth works.
