Content

This course aims to:

Introduce you (1) to earth materials (minerals and rocks) and describe their classification and properties; (2) to processes that occur on the earth surface, e.g. hydrogeology, glaciers, and winds; (3) to marine geology, particularly of the coasts; 4) to the earth's interior and processes that occur there, e.g. earthquakes;  and (5) tie all of these seemingly disparate facts and observations into one unifying paradigm-plate tectonics.
