Geology 1

GEOL 1301

 

This course designed for science and non-science majors needing an A- category core Natural Science course. Fundamental of physical geology is covered. Geology 1301 is an introductory course in geology, and discusses earth materials and physical processes that are crucial to the formation of planet Earth. It introduces materials critical to further study in the Geologic sciences, and important and supportive of further studies in the earth and Natural Science

1. Describe how the scientific methods has led to our current understanding of Earth's structure and processes

2. Interpret the origin and distribution of minerals, rocks and geological resources

3. Describe the theory of plate tectonics tectonic and its relationship to the formation and distribution of earth's crustal futures.

4. Quantify the rates of physical and chemical processes acting on Earth and how these processes fit into the context of geologic time.

5. Communicate how surface processes are driven by interactions among Earth's systems ( eg. The geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere).

6. Identify and describe the internal structure and dynamic of Earth

7. Describe the interaction of humans with Earth (e.g., resources, development or hazard assessment).

8. Evaluate typical laboratory materials pertinent to physical geology ad write laboratory reports in a style appropriate to the field 

9. Classify rocks and mineral based on chemical composition physical properties, and origin,

10. Apply knowledge of topographic maps to quantify geometrical aspects of topography

Geology Lab 1GEOL 1101

This laboratory compliments of Geology I (GEOL1301) course.  It includes identification of minerals and rocks, interpretation of topographic maps and geologic folios, landforms and rock structures.  Field trips may be taken

 

1. Demonstrate the use of scientific measurements and the metric system of units.

2. Diagram the Geologic Time Scale and reproduce its chronological sequence with approximate dates for the Eras, Periods and Epochs.

3. Identify and describe the readily observable properties of minerals, and use these properties to identify common minerals with the aid of a flowchart.

4. Identify by name, and their properties, common igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

5. Use a USGS topographic map to determine elevations, distances, and positional information (using the Government Land Survey System also known as Township and Range) of specified locations.
