GEO105 — Shaping the Earth
GEO 105 - Shaping the Earth GEO 105 - Shaping the Earth 5 Credits Explore the geologic processes that contribute to making Earth’s unique and varied landscapes! This class investigates how plate tectonics works to build up Earth’s surface through folding, faulting, volcanism, and mountain-building, then studies how waves, wind, gravity, groundwater, rivers, and glaciers act to erode, modify and shape different environments.
