GEL 31 - GEL OF NTL PARKS/MONUMENT

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Geology

Description:

This course is a tool for learning geology and processes in the context of something familiar: the National Parks and Monuments of the U.S. By focusing on the spectacular examples of places students are most likely to visit, students will better identify with the material. This course helps students build a framework understanding of Earth's geologic processes by first establishing an underlying theme of plate tectonics (i.e., the driving force for many large-scale geologic events). The course then focuses in on specific geologic environments in detail ranging from deep-earth formation of magmas that feed volcanoes to surficial processes such as coastal erosion and causes of ice ages. This course does not satisfy major, concomitant, or specialization requirements for Secondary Education and/or Liberal Arts and Science majors.
