    Description
    Introduces geologic materials and processes that shape the Earth and its environments. Examines global plate tectonic processes and their relationship to earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, formation of rocks, minerals and natural resources, and rock structures (folds and faults). Includes a study of mass movements and glacial, river, and coastal processes that form the Earth's landscapes. Emphasizes the relationships between humans and geologic processes. Honors work challenges students to be more analytical and creative though expanded assignments, applied research, and enrichment opportunities.
