A. Geomorphology

B. Profile

1. Crust
2. Mantle
   • lithosphere (rigid)
   • asthenosphere (less rigid)
3. Outer Core
4. Inner Core... maybe not solid?

• importance of the viscosity of the magma/lava
    (viscous = thicker)

II.   ROCK TYPES

A. Igneous

1. extrusive (basalt ... dark/black color) (satellite view)
2. intrusive (granite ... colors) (granite quarry) (homes) (granite landmark)

1. sandstone
2. limestone
3. shale

1. sandstone--->quartzite
2. limestone ---> marble (statues) (buildings) (floors)
3. shale------->slate (roofing) (headstones)
4. most common = schist and gneiss

A. Study of Landforms

1. Scale, structure, process, slope, drainage
2. Relief and topography

B. Geologic Time Scales

C. Uniformitarianism vs. Catastrophism: Grand Canyon

• Lake Bidahochi (Hopi Lake)/A> / More lakes?

  .............Next... internal vs. external processes
