Sumario:This study is about the concept of “model” in geology, considering its conception, stability or the appearance of recurrent innovations according to its application to the explanation of particular problems of the Earth sciences. With the purpose of observing the effectiveness of geological models to address the explanation of different problems, three case studies were chosen to explain: the cause of the design of the Suquía (or Primero) River network and its meanders, the disposition of basaltic effusions in the south-western sector of the Córdoba Province, and the structural profile of the Sierras de Córdoba and the deep underground of the Pampas Plain, in latitudinal direction from Córdoba City to the Uruguay River. The comparison of the different case studies reveals that some models remain stable to explain different phenomena from the same cause, such as the directions of the drainage and the lava effusions, and other models change, depending on the appearance of new data by new technologies, such as the structural profile referred to. We conclude that the models can be reissued in subsequent time horizons, maintaining stability, or can be renewed with the addition of new variables and the consequent emergence of new properties.
