Well, The ground and the rocks hold the items that could help us understand what, how, and when these things are here, and Those could help us understand the geology of that region

Sedimentary rocks preserve clues about past environments, as their composition and structure can reveal information about the source material, transportation, and depositional conditions. They also often contain fossils that can provide valuable insights into the history of life on Earth. Additionally, the layers in sedimentary rocks allow geologists to reconstruct the sequence of events that shaped the region over time.
