Geology

The country is your great classroom. Colombia is one of the most interesting and rich countries from the geological point of view: we have three mountain ranges, 21 active volcanoes, an average of 2500 earthquakes per month (30,000 thousand a year!), The three types of rocks that allow us to obtain different minerals and types of energy, two oceans, six glacier areas, hundreds of rivers and, as if it were little, several hundred cubic kilometers of cubic water (70% of all continental water in the country!). And all that because we are located in a tectonically active area and in the tropics. This combination makes us unique and privileged in the study of geosciences. Geology is the science that helps to understand physical, chemical and biological phenomena that occurred on Earth millions of years ago and that continue to happen. That is why it is a field of knowledge that does not stop, without borders, current and modern despite the fact that its object of study is often the most remote past.
