ENV 2152 - Earth History

Credits: 4
Do you ever wonder how the Earth formed and evolved into the planet that we inhabit? What events and processes have sculpted Earth’s surfaces? In this class, we will explore the formation of the Earth and the events that shaped it by reading the rock record and observing fossil evidence. We will learn to use geological maps to piece together what happened in the past by applying stratigraphic concepts and understanding of geologic timescales.
