For tips and instruction see Geocaching - Advanced. That honor requires earning the Geocaching Honor first. For tips and instruction see Geocaching.
While not stated as a requirement, it is assumed like all Advanced Honors you will also earn the basic Geological Geocaching Honor as well. Why not work on them together? For tips and instruction see Geological Geocaching.

The requirements for the Geology - Advanced honor and Rocks and Minerals - Advanced honor with helps for completing them are available here in this wiki.

These guidelines are edited and changed on a regular basis. Please consult earthcache.org for the latest guidelines. In general the proposed earthcache should
- Earthcache sites must provide earth science lessons
- Earthcaches should highlight a unique feature
- Earthcache sites must be educational
- Logging an earthcache requires that the participant complete an educational task directly relating to the earthcache location
- Leave no trace ethics
- Earthcache locations require prior approval of the owners or land managers of the property upon which the earthcache is located.

List: Mineral/fossil Site, mining site, hydrological feature, geomorphological feature, river feature, cave/karst feature, coastal feature, erosional feature, fault/fold feature, sedimentary feature, metamorphic feature, igneous feature, glacial feature, other feature.
While not all earthcaches are specifically classified on the website, you should be able to classify them yourself from the writeup or a visit.
5c
If your finds are in four or more states/countries, you also qualify for the Gold earthcache Master award from earthcache.org

You can read Genesis 6-9 online. Formation of mountains, separation of continents, creation of islands (volcanic eruptions) deposit of sediment, formation of coal and oil beds and much more.

It may make a lot of sense to combine this discussion with the discussion required in the basic version of the honor.
Note
Earthcaching.org is the primary resource for completing the requirements for this honor. A standard 6th-8th grade Earth Science textbook would supply the basic geological concepts that need to be understood to complete this honor.
A basic membership (free) on geocaching.com is a necessary requirement for completing several of the requirements for this honor.
