Study Notes

Geology is divided into Physical Geology and Historical Geology.
Physical Geology studies Earth materials, internal structure of the Earth, earthquakes, volcanism, and sedimentary environments.
Historical Geology studies the origin of Earth, changes in lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, evolution of life, evolutionary radiations, and mass extinctions.
Geologic time involves millions to billions of years and has linear and cyclic components.
The course "The Earth and Life through Time/Earth History" is taught by Dr. Anthony Shillito.
The course covers topics like the history of historical geology, physical geology, diversity of life, sedimentary environments, and geochemical cycles.
Labs for the course involve applying geological techniques, characterizing sedimentary rocks, integrating bio-stratigraphic information, and interpreting geological cross-sections.
