GEOL 1120Physical Geology3.00
(3.00 lec) This course explores the principles and processes of geology with an emphasis on the study of the Earth’s structures, materials (internal and external) and plate tectonics. Topics covered in the course include igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Special attention is paid to the dramatic role of volcanoes, earthquakes, erosion and landslides in the shaping of our planet. Field trips are an optional part of the course. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. Completion of the optional lab (GEOL 1130) is necessary for transfer as a lab science and to satisfy MnTC Goal Area 3. of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052. 393
(1.00 lab) This course introduces the general principles and techniques of mineral and rock identification. Other topics covered include topographic map and n stratigraphic analysis, as well as structural geology. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. Completion of the optional lab (GEOL 1130) is necessary for transfer as a lab science and to satisfy MnTC Goal Area 3. of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052. Prerequisite/Co-requisite: GEOL 1120.
(3.00 lec) This course serves as an introduction to the general principles and processes of geology with an emphasis on the study of geologic time (absolute and relative), and the correlation of geologic time with the rock record, past life forms and geographies. Topics covered include the formation of our planet within the context of the solar system, as well as the evolution of our Earth’s surface and the life forms which inhabit it. Special emphasis is placed upon the cycles our planet experiences, which seemingly control its destiny. Field trips are an optional part of the course. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. Completion of the optional lab (GEOL 1150) is necessary for transfer as a lab science and to satisfy MnTC Goal Area 3. of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052.
(1.00 lab) This course introduces the general principles and techniques of sedimentary rock, mineral and fossil identification. Other topics covered include sedimentary environments, tectonic settings and age relations. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. Completion of the optional lab (GEOL 1150) is necessary for transfer as a lab science and to satisfy MnTC Goal Area 3. of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052. Prerequisite/Co-requisite: GEOL 1140.
READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051. 2013–2014 Catalog | Minneapolis Community & Technical College
