Description

Are you intrigued by the layers beneath our feet? Structural geology provides the key to understanding Earth's dynamic processes. This course offers an essential introduction to the fundamental principles that shape the rocks, faults, and folds we see in the world around us. With a focus on the forces that cause deformations in the Earth's crust, you'll explore concepts like tectonic movements, stress, and strain. Understanding these forces can give you insight into the past and present activities of our planet.

This course is designed for anyone who wants to dive into structural geology, from students to professionals looking to strengthen their geological knowledge. It's your opportunity to uncover the intricate forces that shape the Earth's structure, from mountain ranges to fault lines. No prior experience is necessary, just a curiosity about the natural world and a passion for understanding the forces at work beneath our feet. Through this course, you'll gain the foundation needed to understand geological structures and how they affect the landscape. Whether you're a budding geologist or just have an interest in the Earth, this course is a solid step toward grasping the basics of structural geology.
