Have you ever wondered which mineral is hidden in watches and with which mineral we brush our teeth daily? Can a magic geomaterial, which exists in pet sand, contribute to the purification of water from various substances? How has the “innocent” plastic bag degraded our oceans? For all the above, there exists a magical science called Geology which is applied to all aspects of our everyday life. The terrestrial environments as well as the aquatic constitute the field of study of Geosciences which people ought to exploit, always taking into account the sustainability of the planet.
