About this event

Explore Earth’s inner workings, shifting plates, minerals, and deep time in this precise and engaging geology course.

Overview

Geology is far more than rocks and fossils—it’s the grand narrative of Earth itself. From the crust to the core, this course offers a structured exploration into the layers, shifts, and surfaces that shape the world beneath your feet. You’ll gain a clear understanding of Earth's internal and external processes without falling into the abyss of jargon or overcomplication.

Whether deciphering mineral compositions or interpreting tectonic activity, each module is grounded in substance rather than spectacle. The course unpacks the history etched into landscapes and stones, presenting Earth's billion-year biography with scientific flair and clarity. Ideal for those keen to grasp the geological underpinnings of our planet—minus the clichés and overused metaphors.

Learning Outcomes:

Understand Earth's structural composition and tectonic mechanisms clearly.
Identify geological materials and classify major rock-forming minerals.
Analyse landscape changes shaped by erosion, weathering, and deposition.
Interpret Earth’s geophysical properties and internal energy dynamics.
Trace Earth's geological timeline and major historical transformations.
Examine how plate tectonics influence global geological phenomena.

Frequently asked questions

What are the basics of geology?

Geology is the study of the Earth—its materials, structure, processes, and history. It includes rocks, minerals, plate tectonics, erosion, and Earth’s internal and surface changes over time.

What is the fundamental concept of geology?

The Earth is constantly changing through natural processes, and studying its materials and layers helps us understand its history and future.

What is the fundamental principle of geology?

Uniformitarianism — the idea that the geological processes we observe today (like erosion and volcanic activity) have operated in the same way throughout Earth’s history.

What are the 4 types of geology?

Physical Geology – studies Earth’s materials and processes Historical Geology – examines Earth’s history and fossil records Environmental Geology – focuses on human-Earth interactions Structural Geology – investigates rock deformation and tectonic structures
