==Soil and rock mechanics== {{main|Soil mechanics|Rock mechanics}} [[Soil mechanics]] is a discipline that applies principles of engineering mechanics, e.g. kinematics, dynamics, [[fluid mechanics]], and mechanics of material, to predict the mechanical behaviour of soils. [[Rock mechanics]] is the theoretical and applied science of the mechanical behaviour of rock and rock masses; it is that branch of mechanics concerned with the response of rock and rock masses to the force-fields of their physical environment. The fundamental processes are all related to the behaviour of porous media. Together, soil and rock mechanics are the basis for solving many engineering geology problems.
