This Geology course is designed to assist you to build a solid understanding of geology. You will be taken through the essential geology topics through independent study and given plenty of assessments to measure your progress.
Geology is the study of the Earth, its materials, the structure of those materials, and the processes that act on them. It encompasses the study of species that have lived on our planet in the past. Geology is concerned with the study of how the Earth's materials, structures, processes, and species have evolved over time.
Geologists study the Earth's geological history. The better they grasp Earth's history, the better they can predict how previous events and processes will influence the future.
Learning Outcome
Gain knowledge about the geological time-scale and organic evolution of Earth
Gain knowledge of plate tectonic theory, the order of different layers of the Earth and the major types of plates of the Earth, as well as the motion of these plates
Gain knowledge of plate tectonic theory, the order of different layers of the Earth and the major types of plates of the Earth, as well as the motion of these plates
Have an idea of how seismic waves are measured
Describe the probing methods to study Earth's internal structure

Each of our students gets full tutor support on weekdays (Monday to Friday)
Many Earth processes, such as landslides, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions, can be dangerous to people. Geologists seek to understand these processes well enough to avoid constructing critical buildings in potentially hazardous areas. If geologists can create maps of locations that have already flooded, they can also create maps of areas that may flood in the future. These maps can guide community development and evaluate where flood protection or flood insurance is required.
Our Geology course will help you to learn the basic geological processes, focusing on where, when and why certain rocks and natural resources form on Earth. You'll also explore some of the environmental and sustainability concerns that geologists must address while harvesting and processing these resources.

Course Assessment
To simplify the procedure of evaluation and accreditation for learners, we provide an automated assessment system. Upon completion of an online module, you will immediately be given access to a specifically crafted MCQ test. The results will be evaluated instantly, and the score will be displayed for your perusal. For each test, the pass mark will be set to 60%.
When all tests have been successfully passed, you will be able to order a certificate endorsed by the Quality Licence Scheme.
