  A geological phenomenon is a phenomenon which is explained by or sheds light on the science of geology.
  
  Examples of geological phenomena are:
  
  * Mineralogic phenomena
  * Lithologic phenomena
     * Rock types
        * Igneous rock
           * Igneous formation processes
        * Sedimentary rock
           * Sedimentary formation processes (sedimentation)
           * Quicksand
        * Metamorphic rock
  * Endogenic phenomena
     * Plate tectonics
        * Continental drift
        * Earthquake
        * Oceanic trench
     * Phenomena associated with igneous activity
        * Geysers and hot springs
        * Bradyseism
        * Volcanic eruption
     * Earth's magnetic field
  * Exogenic phenomena
     * Slope phenomena
        * Slump
        * Landslide
     * Weathering phenomena
        * Erosion
     * Glacial and peri-glacial phenomena
        * Glaciation
        * Moraines
