  • Critical Thinking
    • CLO 1: 1.0 The students shall be able to clearly communicate in writing information derived from course related readings of the major concepts and themes in the earth sciences.
    • CLO 2: 2.0 The student shall be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of: 1) the building blocks of the solid earth (rocks, minerals, elements, atoms), and of the 2) earth's external processes of weathering, soil development, stream flow, ground water systems, glaciation and desert formation; 3) the earth's internal process of earthquakes, igneous activity and mountain building; 4) the relationship of both the internal and external processes of the earth to plate tectonics and recognize the importance of the earth as a great internal heat engine; and 5) correlate the geologic processes with geologic time.
    • CLO 3: 3.0 The student shall: be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the unifying principles and processes that bind physics, chemistry, biology and geology to the study of the world's ocean
    • CLO 4: 4.0 The student shall: be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the processes that govern the physics of the atmosphere, starting with heating by the sun and the consequences of the earth's motion on atmospheric phenomena, weather and climate. This includes a basic understanding of the composition, structure and temperature of the earth's atmosphere, the importance of moisture in the atmosphere, air pressure and wind, weather patterns and severe storms, air-ocean interactions, as well as world climates. The student should also demonstrate an awareness of man's impact on the atmosphere and how this relates to global change.
