1 Physical Geology (3) UC:CSU
This course surveys the materials and structures of the earth and the agents and processes that modify it. A study of rocks and their mineral composition; the work of rivers, winds, glaciers and oceans as agents of erosion; and volcanoes and earthquakes as forces which change the surface of the earth are covered. The main purpose of the class is to stimulate student interest in the geological aspects of the environment in which they will spend their lives.
NOTE: Geology 1 and Geology 6 taken together fulfill a laboratory science course (CAN GEOL 2).
6 Physical Geology Laboratory (2) UC:CSU
Prerequisite: Geology 1 or concurrent enrollment in Geology 1.
This course deals with laboratory exercises that aid students in the identification of rock-forming minerals, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, and the interpretation of topographic and geologic maps.
NOTE: Geology 1 and Geology 6 taken together fulfill a laboratory science course (CAN GEOL 2). |
