'''Geology''' is the study of the structure of astronomical objects and processes that have shaped them. The mineralogical composition of rocks gives insight into their history of formation. Important geological events are e.g. earthquakes, floods, orogeny (mountain building), plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. | |||

[[Fumarole]] locations spawn a combination of [[Crystalline Cluster|crystalline clusters]], crystal fragments, needle crystals, and piceous cobble on the side of the fumarole vents. Shooting these objects with the [[SRV]] laser cannon allows them to be collected with the [[Cargo Scoop|cargo scoop]]. | [[Fumarole]] locations spawn a combination of [[Crystalline Cluster|crystalline clusters]], crystal fragments, needle crystals, and piceous cobble on the side of the fumarole vents.
