Physical Geology covers the nature of geologic materials, structures, and processes. It provides an introduction to crustal material, as well as the processes that help shape the earth’s crust (such as mountain building; volcanism; continental drift; and the work of ice, wind, and running water). It also provides information about the natural resources related to geology, such as petroleum, minerals, and ground water. This course involves laboratory work.
