Planet Earth Lab - Geol 101 |
|
The constantly evolving earth has been shaped by a variety of mechanisms and processes. An understanding of these, through the study of geology, gives us an appreciation of our dynamic planet and a more knowledgeable perspective of our fragile environment. The purpose of this lab is to study global processes of planet earth and specific mechanisms that form its surface, such as the growth of minerals, the formation of rocks, mountain building, earthquakes, volcanoes, erosion, and coastal processes. |
