Description

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

Meet the Endorsement

The Quality Licence Scheme has been designed specifically to recognise high-quality courses. This Geology course materials are recognised by Quality Licence Scheme (QLS). This ensures the deep research and quality resource allocation behind the development phase of the course. In addition, the QLS certificate enriches your CV and recognises your quality study on the relevant subject.

Meet the Accreditation

CPD Quality Standards (CPD QS) accreditation assure the Geology course training and learning activities are relevant, reliable, and upto date.

Expert Support

Dedicated tutor support and 24/7 customer support are available to all students with this premium quality course.

Key Benefits

  • Learning materials of the Design course contain engaging voiceover and visual elements for your comfort.

  • Get 24/7 access to all content for a full year.

  • 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.
