| EAPS 35400 - Plate Tectonics |
|
Credit Hours: 3.00. This course will explore plate tectonic processes from the scale of plate motions to the individual stresses that deform rocks. Emphasis will be focused on sources of stress and how this stress is manifested in the lithosphere through faulting, folding, earthquake generation, and place motions. Seismic waves and what information they provide about the interior of the Earth will be discussed. Additionally, extensional, compressional, and transform plate boundaries will be covered. This course is an introduction to geophysical processes and serves as a stepping-stone to upper level geophysics course such as 35200 and 45000. Typically offered Fall Spring.
