- Also Offered:
- Course Catalog Description:
- Physical processes that shape the Earth: volcanoes, earthquakes, plate tectonics, glaciers, rivers. Current environmental issues/global change. Lecture/lab. Optional field experience.
- Class Description:
- The Earth we live on is a far more dynamic place than most people realize. It is constantly, if slowly, changing as major segments of the Earth's surface shift and grind against one another. This slow motion not only produces our world's many active earthquake regions, but over time, is also responsible for the uplift of mountain ranges and the changing shapes of the Earth's continental masses and ocean basins. These global-scale processes directly and indirectly created the environment we live in. Even on a smaller scale, our environment is constantly changing - but on such a long time scale that few people recognize the very dynamic nature of our world. This course will explore how these global and regional-scale processes not only shape our world but also affect human society. One of the course's primary goals is to provide a better understanding of our planet in the context of current environmental issues and global change. Through lectures and labs, students can investigate how plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes, wind, rivers, and glaciers sculpted our plant's landscape, and discover the many linkages between these processes and human society. GEO 1001 satisfies the Diversified Core Curriculum's requirements for both the environmental theme and as a physical science with lab. This course is designed for undergraduate students who are not geology majors and there are no prerequisites.
