Physical geology is the study of the Earth system, minerals, rocks, the processes that operate upon Earth, the landforms that originate from them. Natural hazards and mineral resources are also studied. The course will demonstrate that the planet is a completely integrated, continually evolving and dynamic system. The course is also aimed to create an awareness of how it affects our life and our responsibility to the planet and its future. Lecture and laboratory. [Core Curriculum Goal Area(s) 3 & 10 (LC)]
