A broad introduction to the geological processes acting within the earth and on its surface that produce volcanoes, earthquakes, mountain belts, mineral deposits, a
From human perspective on the earth's surface, the planet appears almost infinite. From an Apollo spacecraft, however, earth is simply a larger spaceship with
Earth's climate has changed dramatically over its history, moving between completely ice-free intervals to periods of global glaciations. How and why
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, and asteroid impacts are all part of the geologic evolution of the earth. For many d
Human occupation of this planet has been confined to the amazingly brief, last sliver of geologic time. This course i
