| What is geology? |
Cfare eshte gjeologjia? |
| Defined broadly, geology is the study of rocks. |
Ne nje perkufizim te gjere , gjeologjia eshte studimi i shkembinjve. |
| Geology has a number of topics: palaeontology (study of fossils), Plate Tectonics (Movement of the plates), Erosion (breaking down of rocks), and a whole number of different topics. |
Gjeologjia ka disa nenfusha: paleontologjine ( studimi i fosileve), Pllakat Tektonike ( levizjen e pllakave), Erozioni ( shembja e shkembinjve) dhe nje sere fushash te ndryshme. |
| The aim is to give you basic knowledge of geology. |
Qellimi eshte tu japim njohuri bazike mbi gjeologjine. |
| To know more, try looking round your local library and have a look at the References and External Links. |

| Sediments (such as teeth, rocks and sand) settle on the bottom of a riverbed. |
Sedimentet ( si psh: dhembet, shkembinjte, dhe rera) qendrojne ne fund te shtratit te lumit. |
| Over millions of years, these sediments compress together to form sedimentary rock. |
Pergjate miliona vjeteve, keto sedimente ngjeshen se bashku duke formuar shkembinj sedimentar. |
| The sediments may have got to the riverbed in a number of ways: they could be from eroded cliffs, and gradually layers got deposited ('dumped' in one place by the forces of the currents) and compressed over time. |
Sedimentet mund te jene krijuar ne shtratin e lumit ne menyra te ndryshme: nepermjet gerryerjes se shkembinjve, dhe gradualisht shtesa depozitohet ( zbrazet ne nje vend nga rrymat e forta) dhe ngjeshet me kalimin e kohes. |
| Sedimentary rocks are layered into strata, with the newest rocks above the older. |
Shkembinjte sedimentar vendosen neper shtresa, ku shkembinjte e rinj vendosen mbi te vjetrit. |
| If a really strong force (such as movement of the plates) occurs, the layers, or strata, could be ordered differently: for example, the rocks may be older the further along the cliff you walk opposed to the height of the cliff. |
Nese nje force e forte ( si pershembull levizja e pllakave) ndodh, shtresat mund te renditen ndryshe. |
| Different sediments form different sedimentary rocks: for example, sandstone is formed from sand sediments and mudstone is formed from mud sediments. |
Sendimente te ndryshem formojne shkembinj te ndryshem sendimentar: per shembull, guret e reres formohen nga sendimentet e reres dhe guret e baltes formohen nga sendimentet e baltes. |
| Sedimentary rocks tend to be the 'weakest' of the three, as Igneous and Metamorphic rocks both undergo extreme pressures to form. |
Shkembinjte sendimentar kane tendencen te jene "me te dobtit" nga te tre, duke qene se shkembinjte vullkanik dhe ata metamorfik i nenshtrohen forces ekstreme per tu formuar. |
