Laboratory for Physical Geology

Geology 181

Jonathan W. Mies

Spring 2005

Geology 181 is the laboratory for Geology 111 (Physical Geology). The laboratory includes studies of minerals and rocks, relationships among rocks and landforms, and geologic processes and events.

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), and Geology 116, Current Geologic Perspectives, are general education courses for the natural science requirement.
