Description
Geology is simply a study of the earth, its composition and how it got that way. Arizona contains spectacular geologic features which spill over into surrounding states. And what a magnificent field of study for exploring both its mineral wealth and its awesome rock formations spewed over millions of geologic eras. This 4 session course will introduce basic geologic concepts, geologic time, explain how the modern Southwest landscape was formed and the erosional processes that gave us the Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion Canyons as well as details of Arizona’s rich mineral deposits.
