1.00 Credits
This lab complements and expands on the principles in Geos 109 by engaging students in practices of recognizing and interpreting features in rocks and minerals, using petrological and stratigraphic information to reconstruct Earth's past, using experimental and field evidence to constrain and understand geological processes, interpreting geological features in map and cross-sectional view, insight into how to use geochemical data, and problem-solving for how to remediate environmental problems. MnTC Goal 3L
-
3.00 Credits
This course addresses physical geography, some geology, and basic interactions between humans and their environment. Specific topics include landscapes and landscape formation, soils and ecosystems, surface and groundwater processes, weather and climate, natural hazards, and natural resources. MnTC goal 3.

1.00 Credits
This Lab course complements the lecture section of this course and fulfills the lab component for the LASC 3L designation. The course applies lab exercises to addresses physical geography, some aspects of geology, and the basic interactions between humans and their environment. Specific topics include landscapes and landscape formation, soils and ecosystems, surface and groundwater processes, weather and climate, natural hazards, and natural resources. The Lab objectives of this course include a hands on development of students' framework of basic concepts and theories in physical geography and geology, and having students develop their own methodology for analyzing the spatial patterns of the natural world based on the concepts learned. Geography is a discipline of synthesis, and this course will include traditions and theories of geology, anthropology, archaeology, and bioscience with student evaluating societal questions from these broad perspectives. MnTC Goal 3L

3.00 Credits
This course will introduce the foundations for studying the development of cultures and cultural diversity in the world, introduce the foundation concepts of Regional Geography, and study the interrelation between cultures, regions, their environments, and their activities. MnTC Goal 7.
-
4.00 Credits
The nature of the earth, its description and the processes that govern its formation and change; including rocks and minerals that make up the earth, their characteristics and how they form; volcanic eruptions; earthquakes; weathering and the transport and deposition of sediment; mineral and energy resources; and the nature of other planets in our solar system. Must also register for GEOS 115L. MnTC Goal 3.
-
0.00 Credits
This lab must be taken concurrently with GEOS 115 Physical Geology.
-
3.00 Credits
Earth history from its beginning to present, including formation of continents, origin and destruction of mountain ranges, advances and retreats of oceans, processes that formed layers of rock and the principles by which they are "read", and what fossils tell about ancient living communities and the environments they lived in. Lab included. MnTC Goal 3.
-
4.00 Credits
Focuses on the most recent changes in the earth and the portion of the earth with which people have the most interaction, including water, soil, air, and landforms developed by rivers, wind, and glaciers, with emphasis on how our environment influences and is influenced by human activity. Concurrent registration in GEOS 117 Lab required. MnTC Goal 3.
-
0.00 Credits
This is a zero-credit lab that must be taken concurrently with GEOS 117 Water, Land, and People. MnTC Goal 3. Focuses on the most recent changes in the earth and the portion of the earth with which people have the most interaction, including water, soil, air, and landforms developed by rivers, wind, and glaciers, with emphasis on how our environment influences and is influenced by human activity.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the components of Earth Science needed for teacher licensure in Minnesota, including aspects of physical geology, historical geology, astronomy, and meteorology. Particular emphasis is placed on critical evaluation of evidence, how we know things in science, what the implications are for our society, and on actual investigation. Topics include volcanoes and earthquakes, the influence of chemical change on natural resources and environment, plate tectonics, planetary science, phases of the Moon, stories told by rocks of the Earth, how weather features form and move, and Earth's climate. Lab included. MnTC Goal 3.
