| G 201 - Earth Materials & Plate Tecton |
|
The Geology 201, 202, 203 sequence is intended for science
majors or other students with a strong interest in science.
Geology majors should enroll in G 201, 202, 203. Most
sections offer an optional one-day field trip, for which an
additional fee may be charged. Beginning Fall 2002, students
may use either or both G 101, 102, 103 or G 201, 202, 203
for science distribution credits. The first term of Geology
explores the origin, structure and composition of minerals
and igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Advanced
topics in plate tectonics, volcanism, rock deformation,
earthquake activity, and mountain building are integrated to
give an overview of the Earth's dynamic internal processes.
Lab work emphasizes identifying minerals and rocks, using
earthquake data, interpreting geologic structures and
geologic maps, and plate tectonics applications. Students
complete an in-depth team study and presentation of selected
geological regions, along with several other team
problem-solving activities.
