Credit Weight: 0.5 Description: An introduction to Earth systems, cycles, and materials followed by discussion of Earth’s interior processes, including seismicity and volcanism, leads to description of common crustal structures and their role in regional and global tectonism. Subsequently emphasis will be directed to a study of important surface processes, resulting features, and geologic hazards. Laboratory work includes the identification of common minerals and rocks, a study of common structures in section and plan view, three-point problems, interpretation of geologic maps, and application of stereographic projection in solution of structural problems.
