GEO 145(3-3-4)
Surface Geology
This is the second part of a two-semester sequence introducing students to the features of the earth's crust and topography. This course will consider the various geologic agents and processes that produce, shape and modify the surface environment. Detailed consideration will be given to the rise and decay of mountains, moving water, glaciers, deserts, shorelines and oceans as well as comparative planetary geology with other bodies in the Solar System.
PR: Two years of high school science and mathematics.
NOTE: Students using Geology as a lab science sequence are advised to take GEO 143 before GEO 145. Either course may be taken alone as a single lab science elective.
