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.
