Planet Earth

Catalog description

GEOSC 20 is a 3-credit, introductory level course about the Earth, and since you live on the Earth, you will be affected by the topic we will cover this semester. We will emphasize earth processes and materials that affect the landscape of Earth. You will be learning about fundamental geologic processes and how they impact humans and the environment on regional and global scales. Some of these processes are slow, such as the movements of continents, and change the Earth over a period of millions of years. Others are rapid, such as earthquakes and floods. You will learn how these processes are related and interact with each other.
