These geological processes operate over a wide range of time scales. For example, earthquakes last only seconds, but over millions of years they result in mountain building. We will explore these processes, the concept of geologic time, and the ways that geologists learn about the earth and earth processes, so that you can begin thinking as an earth scientist.  \nUpon the successful completion of this course, you (student) would be able to:  \n\n| ILO 1 | explain fundamental earth science concepts and principles using words and sketches |\n| --- | --- |\n| ILO 2 | use Google Earth and Google Maps to identify, locate, measure, and relate geological features, and to observe global change |\n| ILO 3 | infer processes that led to the formation of a rock, an outcrop, or a landform, based on its properties |\n| ILO 4 | integrate geological observations with process to reconstruct a site’s geological history |\n\nThis course is designed to give a broad overview of the basic concepts of physical geology.  \nWe will move from one topic to another in a logical progression. Content will cover the following:  \nFormaƟon of the Solar System; Plate Tectonics; Earthquakes and Tsunamis; Crustal DeformaƟon and Isostasy; Minerals and Crystals; Magmas and Igneous Rocks; Volcanoes and Volcanic ErupƟons; Sedimentary Rocks and Geologic Time; Coastal Processes and Landforms; Metamorphic Rocks and Mountains; Glaciers and Global Change; Earth Resources; and Hydrological Cycle, Streams & Rivers, and Groundwater.  \nEach week you should read the relevant chapters from:  \nMarshak, S.
