Geology 111 is an introductory course in geology with emphasis on the origin of Earth, geologic materials (e.g. minerals, rocks), geologic processes and events (e.g. mountain building, earthquakes, volcanic activity), and geologic features (e.g. oceans, landforms). Topics are discussed in the contexts of geologic time, plate tectonics, and historical developments. Geology 111 (with Geology 181) is a prerequisite for many of the geology courses offered at UTC. Students that are interested in taking geology courses beyond Geology 111, are encouraged to take Historical Geology (Geology 112 and Geology 182, lecture and lab), which focuses on the science of interpreting Earth's history and challenges students to apply and expand upon principles and knowledge of physical geology. Geology 111 (with Geology 181), Geology 112 (with Geology
182), Historical Geology, Geology 116, Current Geologic
Perspectives, and Geology 225, Oceanography, are general
education courses for the natural science requirement.
Some aspects of this course are available to enrolled students through UTC's online course delivery system, Blackboard (requires UTCID and password). Internet resources
