Geology

Geology is more than just rocks—it’s Earth's personal archive. From tectonic shifts to the minerals that make up our morning coffee mugs, this course explores how the planet works beneath the surface. You'll uncover the secrets held in time, stone, and strata.

Each module takes you through the Earth’s structure, interior processes, surface transformations, and geological timelines. If you've ever wondered how mountains form or why certain landscapes wear down faster than others, consider this your invitation to read the planet’s diary—no pickaxe required.
