What is GEOL2010 about?

An introduction to planet Earth and its geological resources. Students will examine key rock types (igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic) and how their constituent minerals and structures define a range of rock properties. They will also infer 3-dimensional patterns of rock units and structures from maps, cross-sections and stereographic projections; and, identify key ore and fossil fuel deposit types and learn how their size, shape and location are controlled by the spatial arrangement of rock types and structures.
