    Description
    This course serves as an introduction to the study of the origin and composition of Earth. Subject matter for this course includes Earth materials and processes such as minerals, rocks, plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Physical Geology provides a broad understanding and appreciation of Earth and its evolution over time. The laboratory component studies aspects of geology on a practical and applied basis with possible field trips that emphasize the study of local geological systems. (C-ID GEOL 101)
