ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

OneGeology

Onegeology is like a giant map of the rocks and land underneath our feet. Imagine you're playing with your toy blocks and you stack them up to make a tower. Onegeology shows different stacked layers of rocks that make up mountains, hills, valleys, and even the ground you're standing on.

Scientists who study the Earth's rock layers make maps of each layer, showing where it is and how deep it goes. These maps are all put together to make one big map, the onegeology map.

The map is really helpful because it helps scientists and people like construction workers or miners see where different types of rocks and minerals are located. They can use this information to find certain resources, like gold or oil.

So, think of onegeology like a big puzzle where each piece is a layer of the earth's rocks, and together they make a map of what's under our feet!
