3.00 Credits
tth11.35-12.50, 1 htba QR,Sc (24) Quantitative introduction to the dynamics of Earth's interior and surface manifestations such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Emphasis on understanding various geological phenomena through the framework of man-tle convection in the cooling Earth. Discussion of how Earth's internal processes affect human environments in both the short and the long term. Weekly lab sessions familiarize students with the spatial and temporal scales of geological processes through brief field excursions .
