Historical Geology: Laboratory Applications and Interpretations is an analysis of earth’s past through time. This means we focus on the changes the physical earth has gone through as well as the changes life has gone through. As we study the earth’s process it is important to parallel biological evolution with earth’s development because life must adjust in response to the changes the earth was going through. Knowing more about earth’s processes, both physical and biological, allows us to reconstruct the story of our planet.
This lab manual is an introductory level application of concepts introduced in this course. It has been specifically designed to focus on the course taught at Tarrant County College.
