Geologic Diagrams

Learning Objective; you will develop the ability to visualize the three dimensional earth from two dimensional diagrams and look at changes over long periods of time.

There are two geologic block diagrams in this Module to be worked and then submitted for a grade. Diagram 100 asks you to number the sequence of geologic events based on which happened first (oldest) to which happened last (youngest). See if you can include the episodes of erosion when soils existed. Then look at Diagram 110 and do the same thing for the oldest rock units listed as PreCambrian in age.

Go to the Table of Contents on the left and watch the field trip video “Geologic History of the Southwest”.
