Description:

4 credits Prerequisite: Grade of C- or better in G 101 or G 102 or G 201 or G 202. Geology 203 applies geologic principles of plate tectonics, surface processes and evolution to interpret Earth's geologic history. The course emphasizes how plate motions have built and rearranged continents and changed environments through geologic time. The course also explores how plate motions and other factors influence the evolution and extinction of plants and animals over time. In labs students recognize and describe fossils, interpret age relationships and stratigraphy, and use geologic maps and cross-sections to interpret complex regions. Students use principles of historical geology to develop geologic case studies from around the world. Students must have completed at least one previous term of geology or have permission from the instructor to enroll. More information about the sequence is at G 201.
