Students will investigate topics such as historical continental drift, earthquakes, subduction zones, the creation and destruction of the ocean floor, and mountain building and interpret data related to these. Three class periods; one 2-hour laboratory period per week.

LAB. 2. Pr. GEOL 2050 and GEOL 4010. Departmental approval. Emphasis will be placed on plate tectonics and driving forces, evolution of collisional, transform and extensional systems, and dynamic indicators of past and current tectonic processes.

Sedimentary basins are formed in a particular Plate Tectonics context as they relate to share certain characteristics. This course covers tectonics and sedimentation in basins formed in extensional, compressional and strike slip tectonic settings. The basins are classified based on their tectonics settings. This course will cover the tectonic settings of basins, their sedimentary fill, and their economic resources.
