| Catalog Course Description: | An introduction to the evolutionary history of the earth and life on the planet. Topics covered include concepts in stratigraphy, rock dating, tectonic events, global climate and ecologic changes, and the study of faunal and floral succession over geologic period of time. Laboratory work and field trips (virtual or actual) are included to provide observational examples of the above topics and to learn geologic field techniques of data gathering |

| Course Learning Outcomes: | 1.Explain the early evolution of Earth and how it came to support life (1, 4)
2.Use the principles of uniformitarianism, original horizontality, lateral continuity, superposition, cross-cutting relationships, and biologic succession and examples of present-day geologic processes to explain the formation and evolution of the features of the earth.(2, 3, 5) 3.Interpret geologic features and landforms from geologic and paleogeographic maps (2, 5) 4.Identify and interpret the evolution of life through time by observation and analysis of fossil specimens (3, 5) 5.Compare past and present climate patterns (2, 3, 4, 5) |
