A scientist who studies rocks and earths structure?
A scientist who studies rocks and the Earth's structure is called a geologist. Geologists analyze the composition, structure, and history of rocks to understand processes like plate tectonics and Earth's geological history. They also study how rocks form and change over time to learn more about the Earth's past and present.
What is the past condition of the earth?

What principles account for earths history?
The main principle linked to the palaeoenvironment of the Earth (ie the Earths past) is called the principle of uniformitarianism: "The present is the key to the past" This means that all processes which occur on Earth at the present day, ie erosion, transportation, deposition, weathering, metamorphism etc. also occured at any point in the Earth's history in exactly the same way. Hope this helps :)
