Topics covered include minerals, rocks, igneous and metamorphic processes, weathering, erosion, sedimentation, evolution of landform, and tectonics.

Prerequisite: READ 0099. Corequisite: GEOL 1250L.

Notes:
All lecture and lab courses have a separate number and grade; therefore, if the lab is required with the lecture, they must be taken concurrently. The only exception is if one component (lecture or lab) is passed and the other failed, only the failed portion need be repeated. Lecture and lab must be taken on the same campus when taken concurrently.
