Transfer: UC*, CSU
C-ID: GEOL 101.IGETC AREA 5 (Physical Sciences, + LAB) • Prerequisite: None.
*Maximum credit allowed for Geology 1 and 4 is one course (4 units).
This course presents an introduction to geologic processes that have shaped the Earth. Lecture topics include formation of the Earth, plate tectonics, rocks, minerals, earthquakes, geologic structures, geologic time, coastal processes, and groundwater. Laboratory exercises expand this information by dealing with rock and mineral identification, topographic and geologic map interpretation, and the interpretation aerial photographs. Upon completion of this course, the student will have a good understanding of the processes that form major features on Earth.
