    Description
    This course is an introduction to the development of the Earth through time. The scientific method is used to understand the geologic evolution of land forms such as mountains, oceans, canyons, faults and the tectonic development of the Earth. This course examines how tectonic activity shaped landscapes, climate and the development of life, which started in the ocean and evolved onto land. The geologic time scale is used to understand plant and animal evolution, extinctions, and how modern plant and animal forms developed. C-ID: GEOL 111.
