Solution
Geomorphology is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and
bathymetric features created by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near
the Earth's surface.
Engineering geology is the application of the geological sciences to engineering study for the
purpose of assuring that the geological factors regarding the location, design, construction,
operation and maintenance of engineering works are recognized and accounted for.
lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth, which includes Earth's crust (the "skin" of rock
on the outer layer of planet Earth), as well as the underlying cool, dense, and rigid upper part of
the upper mantle.
mineral is a naturally occurring substance, representable by a chemical formula, that is usually
solid and inorganic, and has a crystal structure. It is different from a rock, which can be an
aggregate of minerals or non-minerals and does not have a specific chemical composition.
rock or stone is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids.
For example, the common rockgranite is a combination of the quartz, feldspar and biotite
minerals.
