Formerly GEOL C100. An introduction to the principles of geology with emphasis on Earth processes. This course focuses on the internal structure and origin of the Earth and the processes that change and shape it. Graded or Pass/No Pass option. C-ID: GEOL 100.

Grading Mode: Standard Letter, Pass/No Pass

Formerly GEOL C141. The laboratory component to General Geology. Identification of rocks and minerals, topographic and geologic map exercises demonstrating the work of water, wind, ice and gravity and effects of tectonic activity. Graded or Pass/No Pass option. C-ID: GEOL 100 L.

Grading Mode: Standard Letter

An introduction to the essentials of Earth Science with a laboratory. Topics include the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and solar system. This course focuses on the interactions between physical and chemical systems of the Earth such as the tectonic cycle, rock cycle, hydrologic cycle, weather and climate. Topics are aligned with the California State Science Standards for K-12 and will prepare future teachers to teach these subjects within the California Science Framework. Letter Grade only. C-ID: GEOL 121.

Grading Mode: Standard Letter, Pass/No Pass
