The rocky surface of Earth is made up of variety of rocks and sediments. The composition and location of these materials provide important information about the geological processes operating at and below Earth's surface. In this unit, emphasis is placed on linking observations about Earth materials to understanding their processes of formation through practical work. The role of large-scale tectonic and climatic controls, and relevance to society of understanding processes which control the formation and composition of common Earth materials are also explored. -- Course Website
