DESCRIPTION
Geology Diploma
Elearncollege offers a diploma course in Geology that starts with a glance at
the basics of the history of the geological formation of planet Earth, the
different layers of the planet's interior and their properties, and the
geological structures of continents and oceans. It explores the importance of
tectonic forces through geological timescales, subduction zones, hot spots, and
seafloor spreading. This course will teach you the significance of rock cycles
for Earth, various methods used to classify sediment, and the basis of defining
and classifying different types of rocks. Elearncollege's diploma course on
Geology covers many aspects of the discipline, like mineral formation and the
environmental factors associated with it, rock-forming minerals, silicate, 'Big
Ten', and many other methods of classifying minerals, along with the benefits
that these minerals have. You will be familiar with volcanoes' external and
internal features, their types and categories of eruption, volcanic tephra
constituents, lava flow types, and subduction zone volcanoes. The course also
explores seismology, the processes leading to earthquakes, building mountains,
and other activities associated with the field. It also covers the hazards
associated with earthquakes.
The Geology Diploma course will teach you climate trends that have come and gone
throughout the geological history of Earth, different systems that cause
modifications in climate, the importance of the ocean for the environment,
different anthropogenic factors that influence climate, the formation of soil
and the distribution, the planet's watershed, and processes that lead to
contamination. It also teaches how to define geological times, differentiate
relative dating techniques from absolute dating techniques, and understand
various dating methods using evidence from fossils through radiometric isotope
decay.
Industrialisation and agriculture are examples of anthropogenic influences that
are direct factors that lead to environmental changes on the planet. The course
goes through the history of such. It looks at the ecological effects of
industrialisation and agriculture and the adverse geological effects caused by
urbanisation.
The diploma course on Geology offered by Elearncollege has been infused with all
necessary fundamental knowledge on geology to equip students with a deep and
solid understanding of geology. The course will provide information about the
weather, solar system, plate tectonics, rock types, volcanoes, and many other
intriguing topics. Experienced instructors can provide detailed explanations
about each topic and concept and pictures that will enhance comprehension.
The Geology Diploma course ends with a discussion on fossil fuels, geological
values associated with fossil fuels, the process of extraction and development,
the effects on the environment, and a look into the future in the possible
effects of economic mining, geothermal energy as a substitute for fossil fuel,
and the geological implications that this could have.
The diploma course in Geology is open for registration for any individual
interested in geology and the environment in general. It would be beneficial for
any person who considers obtaining a degree in environmental science or for
teachers who want to gain additional knowledge on geography and geology that
they can use to enhance their classroom teaching.

ASSESSMENT
Each unit concludes with a multiple-choice examination. This exercise will help
you recall the major aspects covered in the unit and help you ensure that you
have not missed anything important in the unit. The results are readily
available, which will help you see your mistakes and look at the topic once
again. If the result is satisfactory, it is a green light for you to proceed to
the next chapter.
