This lab course studies the nature of the Earth and its development through time. Students examine the Earth's origins and composition, in addition to volcanoes, earthquakes, and the development of the landscape over time by such processes as weathering, mass wasting, rivers, glaciers, wind, and waves. The lab component of the course focuses on the identification and understanding of minerals and rocks, and on the interpretation of geological features from topographic maps. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for the course, but Provincial Grade 12 Diploma or equivalent is recommended. Note: Students cannot get credit for more than one of GEOL 1011, GEOL 1110.
