- Description
- Physical Geology examines the nature and properties of the materials composing the earth and the processes by which they are formed, altered and distributed. Along with these materials, the topographic features of the surface of the earth are studied relative to their formation and interpretation. In the laboratory the common rock-forming mineral and igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are examined. Basic topographic map reading and interpretation are covered relative to lecture topics. Field trips will be taken during laboratory periods.
