From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
Geography is the study of the Earth, its features, and of the distribution of life on the Earth. Although cartography (map making) is a important component of geography, perhaps the greatest contribution is felt through the role of analysts of some of the most pressing natural resource and environmental issues of our world.
A volcano is a geothermal vent at the Earth's surface through which magma (molten rock) and associated gases erupt, and also the cone built by eruptions.
Volcanic eruptions are important for creation science because they can provide vivid examples of how catastrophic processes are able to form features that are typical of the fossil record (i.e. layered rock). Since uniformitarian thought dominates geology today, much of the earth's features have been interpreted as having formed slowly over long periods of time. In some cases volcanoes, like Mount St. Helens, have illustrated that catastrophic processes are able to form thick beds of rock with fine laminae.

Creation Geography
- Creationist groups - assist the efforts of creationist organizations by writing descriptive articles that detail their location and activities.
- Geology sites - descriptions of sites of interest in flood geology.
- Biblical archaeology sites - descriptions of sites of interest Biblical archaeology.
International Outreach - Spanish, Korean, German, Hebrew, Polish, French, and Chinese versions of the CreationWiki are currently under construction. You could help these efforts greatly by translating existing English articles into these languages.

"It is therefore legitimate to say that, in respect of that part of the Old Testament against which the disintegrating criticism of the last half of the nineteenth century was chiefly directed, the evidence of archaeology has been to reestablish its authority and likewise to augment its value by rendering it more intelligible through a fuller knowledge of its background and setting. Archaeology has not yet said its last word, but the results already achieved confirm what faith would suggest – that the Bible can do nothing but gain from an increase in knowledge." - Sir Frederic Kenyon, a former director of the British Museum, The Bible and Archaeology (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1940), page 279.
