GEOL 4, Physical Geology with Lab 4 units
Transfer: UC, CSU • IGETC AREA 5 (Physical Sciences, + LAB) • Prerequisite: None.
This course presents, in a lecture and laboratory setting, the exciting geologic processes that have shaped the earth. Lecture topics are the same as those covered in Geology 1. Laboratory exercises expand this information by dealing with rock and mineral identification, topographic and geologic map interpretation, and aerial photos. Completion of this course provides the student with a good understanding and awareness of the planet Earth. *Maximum credit allowed for Geology 1 and 4 is one course (four units).

GEOL 5, Earth History 4 units
Transfer: UC, CSU • IGETC AREA 5 (Physical Science + lab) • Prerequisite: None.
This course is an introduction to the history of the Earth and life forms, with particular emphasis on North America. Sedimentary rocks are studied for structure, stratigraphic sequences, and fossils that give clues to the geographical evolution of the continent and life through geologic time. Methods of dating rocks and interpretation of structural features are used to determine the sequence of events in the development of the Earth’s major features.

GEOL 31, Introduction to Physical Oceanography 3 units
Transfer: UC, CSU • IGETC AREA 5 (Physical Sciences, non-lab) • Prerequisite: None.
This course provides the student with an understanding of the physical and geological aspects of oceanography. Lecture topics include the origin of the oceans, plate tectonics, sea floor topography, waves, beaches, estuaries, lagoons, and lakes. Completion of this course will give the student a greater knowledge of the fascinating and dynamic world of the oceans.
