The richly textured landscape of the United States is a product of the dueling forces of plate tectonics, weathering and erosion. Over the 4.5 billion-year history of our Earth, tectonic upheavals and colliding plates have raised great mountain ranges while the forces of erosion and weathering worked to tear them down. Even after many millions of years, records of Earth's great upheavals remain imprinted as textural variations and surface patterns that define distinctive landscapes or provinces.

  • La géologie des États-Unis étudie la composition, la structure, l'évolution des couches internes et externes de la Terre, et des processus qui la façonnent dans la limite des 50 États américains. Cette étude est fondamentale pour un pays qui est la première puissance économique du monde et qui a besoin d'importantes ressources naturelles, notamment le pétrole, le charbon, les minerais et l'eau.
