A
one-credit introductory course (Geology 112) offered by the UW-Madison
Dept of Geology and Geophysics. This course describes the connections
between the earth's tectonic plates, earthquakes, and its many mountain

the relationships between the seismic cycle, volcanism, and plate movements,
erosion of mountains, and mass wasting.
