Satisfies Natural Science Core Requirement
The Earth is a dynamic planet that our species is clearly changing. A great
challenge of the 21st century is to maintain the Earth's ability to support
its growing human population. This course discusses the origin and materials
of the Earth and the processes by which it has evolved. It is a first course
for Geological Sciences majors and also provides a background for departmental
majors and minors. GE 132 is appropriate as a natural science core course
for students interested in the Earth Sciences. The laboratory consists of
