Ok, folks. This page is going to grow by request or necessity as the semester progresses. Anything that comes up that you need, or that will be useful I will link here. Many of the documents will be in Adobe .pdf format, which means they need a special Adobe Acrobat reader. Most or all the computers in the lab should have this already. If you are working on a personal computer that does not have it, clicking on the link will direct you to a place to download a free reader. As the files begin to load Do not choose the save option, just double click the link to open the file into the reader and print from there. Unless you have the program, and/or fonts that produced the original document you will get a garbled document. And note that the .pdf files will print as pristine as the original documents. |

The most compact syntheses of this knowledge is in the Wilson Cycle and Tectonic Rock Cycle, found in the links below. You should know, understand, and be able to intelligently describe, relate, or answer questions about anything in these pages. All these are the tools we use to talk about earth history. Or, by analogy, it is necessary knowledge, like knowing the alphabet before you can read. ![]() ![]() A suggestion. On the top left of each site is a link to a self test. Try doing the self test first, just to find out how much you know, or don't know. It will also help focus your reading to extract, integrate, and understand what you are reading. |
