Geology

Derived from Latin meaning "dug up", it's the remains of a plant or animal preserved in rock

A fracture in the earth along which the sides are displaced; the San Andreas is a dramatic example

---------------------------------------------------


It's the shallow body of water enclosed within an atoll
---------------------------------------------------
