GEOS 4320 - The Physics and Chemistry of the Solid Earth (3 semester hours) The study of the structure and evolution of the Earth through petrology, geochemistry and geophysics. Plate tectonics will be emphasized as a framework for crust and mantle dynamics. The roles of gravity, thermal processes and the mechanical behavior of rocks are investigated. Tectonic settings of igneous and metamorphic rocks will be explored. Prerequisites: GEOS 1103, 1104, 1303, 1304, 2409, and 3464. Recommended prerequisities: PHYS 2125 and 2325. (3-0) Y
