This course covers all aspects of physical geology. Origin and formation of rocks and minerals are examined. The importance of geological processes, such as the rock cycle, tectonic cycle, to the formation of rocks and minerals is emphasized. The physical, environmental and economic importance of these processes is studied in order to understand how these minerals and rocks are prized by humans. The environmental and socio-economic impacts of use of geologic materials by humans are discussed in order to identify successful management practices of these resources.
