GEO-101: Physical Geology
- 4 Credit Hours
- Chemistry and Geosciences Department
- Spring 2026
Course Description
What controls the locations of volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountains? Where does our drinking water originate? What forces shape landscapes to create caves, glaciers, and landslides? What natural resources are used to create the technology we love and the resources we need? How does this impact people, both locally and globally? This course answers these questions and more while investigating plate tectonics, the rock cycle, and the Earth as a system. Two field trips [in person or virtually] to study local geology are incorporated into lab each semester. Three class hours, three laboratory hours.
