    Description
    May be offered as an honors section. Physical geology is an introduction to the composition and dynamics of the earth from the atomic scale of minerals to the global scale of plate tectonics. Topics include the composition of minerals and rock, volcanism, earth structures, earth- quakes, erosion and surface processes, geologic time, geologic hazards, and plate tectonics. Students learn to recognize, understand, and appreciate the processes which continually change our earth.
