Physical Geology for majors and non-majors is the study of the earth. The lecture covers structure and land forms, modifying agents and processes, characteristic rocks and minerals and a brief study of the surrounding atmosphere and the earth as a planet. Laboratory activities are designed to complement the lecture. Students will study rocks and minerals, earth history, fossils, structural features of the earth and various earth forms as related to certain geologic processes with the aid of rock and mineral samples, topographic maps and aerial photographs. This course will require proctored testing at an approved location. Students may be charged testing fees at off-campus and virtual testing locations.
