This course is designed as an introduction to Earth's physical processes, structures and composition, and includes coverage of Earth's internal processes, such as those that cause earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain building; surface processes, such as rivers and waves, wind, glaciers and the landforms that result from these processes; the nature and origin of rocks and minerals that form the Earth's crust; and structures related to folding and faulting, will be studied.

This introductory earth and space science course covers basic principles from the fields of geology, astronomy, oceanography, and meteorology. Minerals and rocks, natural processes acting at the earth's surface and within the Earth, plate tectonics, geologic time and dating, composition and motions of the Earth, solar system, phases of the moon, origin and life cycles of stars, galaxies, water movements, ocean floor, weather and climate, along with other related topics, will be studied.
