Welcome to Geology! The Earth's surface looks solid, but underneath, it’s alive with energy! This course takes you on a journey into the planet's interior to witness the ultimate sculpting tools: heat, pressure, and tectonic power. Discover how the forces deep within the Earth shatter crusts, raise peaks, and completely rewrite the map over time.
But the drama doesn't stop underground. You'll witness a non-stop battle between constructive forces building the world up and destructive forces tearing it back down. We'll track the epic power of weathering, erosion, and deposition as they relentlessly reshape the landscape smashing boulders into sand and carving out massive canyons. From explosive volcanic eruptions to the slow, steady march of plate tectonics, you'll see exactly how our restless planet is constantly redesigning itself!
