GEL 304 - STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Geology

Description:

Structural geology studies the way rocks deform on scales ranging from the microscopic to plate tectonic. This course investigates how rock fold, fracture, and even flow. This knowledge leads to an understanding of how mountain ranges form, where natural resources occur, where groundwater pollutants migrate, and what controls ground stability in construction. The course also explores the history of the earth from a plate tectonics perspective. Projects include both laboratory studies and mapping exercises of deformed rocks in the field.
