GEOL 335

Dynamics and Structure of the Earth

Integrative study of how dynamic tectonic processes create and shape the internal structure and surface of the Earth. Movement of tectonic plates and how interactions along plate boundaries create faults, folds, and fractures. Earths gravity and magnetic fields, the mechanics of rock deformation and how remote sensing techniques are used to explore the Earths internal structure. Real-world data to introduce laboratory techniques for describing and interpreting geologic structures
