In this classical introduction to geology, students will identify and explain the geologic processes operating on and beneath Earth's surface, including mineral and rock formation, plate tectonics, deformation, orogeny, weathering, erosion, transport, and deposition. Landforms resulting from geologic processes will be interpreted. Laboratory projects and field trips correlate with lecture topics. Corequisite: MAT 0600; Eligibility: ENG 1510: Must meet minimum college level reading score: Accuplacer 80+ or Asset 40+. Campus and term: J occasionally

0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Students will identify and interpret the scientific theories explaining the physical and biological evolution of Earth, with an emphasis on the North American continent, using stratigraphic, fossil, and radiometric evidence. Laboratory projects and field trips include the use of geologic maps, cross sections, and the study of faunal succession using fossil specimens. Prerequisite: GLG 1510 or 1550; Eligibility: ENG 1510; Must meet minimum college level reading score: Accuplacer 80+ or Asset 40+. Campus and term: J occasionally
-
3.00 Credits
Students will identify and explain basic concepts in geology, oceanography, and meteorology, including mineral and rock formation, plate tectonics, mountain building, weathering and soils, erosional and depositional processes, geologic hazards, oceans, and the atmosphere. Optional field experiences are offered. This is an introductory course for students with little or no science background. Eligibility: ENG 1510 and MAT 0500. Campus and term: J fall

1.00 Credits
Students will explore life on earth during the Mesozoic era, the ""age of dinosaurs."" Through the use of readings, lectures, extensive audiovisual aids, the Internet and laboratory exercises, students will study major geologic events of this period, identify the behavior of the most common dinosaurs, and identify common Mesozoic marine and plant life. Class discussions and assignments will include new and controversial theories explaining the evolution, behavior, and extinction of dinosaurs. During mini-labs students will handle and learn to identify common dinosaur fossils. Corequisite: ENG 1530. Campus and term: J occasionally; C occasionally
-
1.00 Credits
Students will be introduced to the major ice ages in our geologic past, with an emphasis on the Pleistocene Ice Age. Using readings, lectures, the Internet, audiovisual aids, and mini-labs, students will discuss the earth's major eras of glaciation, explain the work of glaciers in shaping topography, identify common Pleistocene age animals and discuss current theories of glaciation. Corequisite: ENG 1530. Campus and term: J occasionally
-
3.00 Credits
Students will examine the history of life on Earth as reflected in the fossil record. The course covers the oldest known forms of life from over three billion years ago through the origin of marine communities, the invasion of land, dinosaurs, and the age of mammals. Emphasis will be placed on common fossil groups and the interaction of organisms with their diverse environments. This is an introductory course for students with little or no science background. Corequisite: ENG 1530. Campus and term: J occasionally
