In this course, we will discover the physical processes that act within and on Earth, including the formation and destruction of minerals and rocks; the risks and occurrence of volcanoes and earthquakes; and how mountains are built and eroded. Plate tectonics will provide the context of our investigations. Human use of geological resources, and the consequences, will also be highlighted.
