Here's an example to demonstrate the length of time that human beings have existed when compared to the time from Earth's formation:
Observe the length of your arm from your shoulder to your fingertips. This will represent geologic time; the time from the formation of the Earth. Run a fingernail file across the end of the fingernail of your longest finger. You have just erased the period of time in which Homo sapiens has existed.
The science that uses geology to study how humans affect the natural environment is called environmental geology. It focuses on understanding how human activities impact geological processes and resources, as well as how geological factors can influence human behavior and land use practices.
Humans and animals walk on the Earth's crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. The Earth's crust is composed of solid rock and is where most geological activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, occurs.
Quaternary.
The geological time scale is hugely larger than the human time scale. For humans, a decade is a significant period of time, and even our civilizations span only a few thousand years... whereas in geological terms even a million years isn't that much.
Yes, humans do affect mountains by leaving litter in the mountains and building ski resorts near to the top.

yes, and there is no existence of vampires.
No, minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances that are formed in the Earth's crust through geological processes. Humans can extract and refine minerals for various uses, but they cannot create them from scratch.
Yes.
early humans
Humans, specifically Homo sapiens, have been on Earth for approximately 300,000 years. In the context of Earth's history, which spans about 4.5 billion years, this is a tiny fraction—less than 0.01% of the planet's existence. Thus, the vast majority of Earth’s history occurred long before humans appeared. This highlights the relatively brief duration of human existence compared to the age of the Earth.
Earth's geological forces are quite indifferent to humans or any other life forms.
