geologiczne

Geologiczne is a Polish adjective meaning related to geology, the science that studies the Earth, its materials, structure, history and the processes that shape it. The word is derived from geologia (earth + study) and is used to describe phenomena, data and objects connected with geology. In Polish the base form is geologiczny; feminine form is geologiczna; neuter singular and most plural uses are geologiczne, with geologiczni used for masculine personal plural.

Geologiczne terms appear widely in scientific and educational contexts. Common phrases include skały geologiczne (geological rocks), warstwy geologiczne (geological layers), procesy geologiczne (geological processes), okresy geologiczne (geological periods) and dane geologiczne (geological data). The adjective also appears in descriptions of maps, reports and studies, for example geologiczna mapa regionu (geological map of a region) and badania geologiczne (geological studies).

Geologiczne is contrasted with geologiczny in masculine form and with the adverb geologicznie (in a geological manner). The term covers a broad range of subdisciplines within geology, including stratigraphy, tectonics, sedimentology, mineralogy, and hydrogeology, and it is standard in academic, museum and educational writing. For non-specialists, geologiczne simply signals that a topic, data or object pertains to geological science and its methods.
