What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

The geysers are really cool, and the geothermal springs, but I thought the geography/terrain and animals were just as if not more impressive. Perhaps except for the uniqueness of the geothermal features which I'm not sure where else can be found in the US. So if a power plant could keep the "big one" from happening and we get to keep the other "wildness," I wouldn't be too adverse.
