  • EAS 125: The Physical Geology of The Dynamic Earth

    4.00 Credits
    Mount Wachusett Community College

    4 credits This course is an introductory course concerning the planet you occupy. There are two major energy systems that make the Earth a dynamic planet: one is the hydrologic system producing the circulation of water over the Earth's surface and powered by the sun. The movement of the oceans, rivers, underground streams and in glaciers as well as atmospheric water produces changes in the surface features. The other system is the tectonic system,which involves the movement of materials powered by geothermal energy (energy from the Earth's interior). This system involves the evolution of continents and ocean basins, and mountain building processes. Therefore, the major content of the course will deal with these two systems and in particular the Earth's rock forms, and its weathering patterns. Geologic time will be viewed as a basis for the changes in life forms and crustal deformation that have created the familiar structures seen in our everyday world. Field trips will be available. Three lecture and two hours lab per week. Prerequisites: RDG100, ENG100, or placement. Fall or spring
