Module Objectives

أهداف المادة الدراسية

The main objectives of the class are to:

Familiarize students with geological maps and develop their ability to interpret and analyze the information presented on these maps, including understanding the representation of rock formations, structures, and other geological features.

Provide students with an understanding of structural geology, including the deformation and movement of rocks, faulting, folding, and the formation of geological structures, and enable them to apply this knowledge in interpreting and analyzing geological formations.

Explore the concept of plate tectonics and its role in shaping the Earth's surface, including the occurrence of earthquakes, and develop students' understanding of the processes and mechanisms behind plate tectonics.

Introduce students to the concept of using geological evidence to reconstruct past events and environments, including the study of fossils, sedimentary layers, and other geological indicators, and develop their skills in interpreting and analyzing this evidence to gain insights into Earth's history.

Overall, the class aims to provide students with a solid foundation in geological mapping, structural geology, plate tectonics, and the interpretation of geological evidence, fostering their critical thinking, observation, and analytical skills in the field of geology.

Module Learning Outcomes

مخرجات التعلم للمادة الدراسية

Possible learning outcomes for the class could include:

Demonstrate proficiency in reading and interpreting geological maps, including identifying rock formations, structures, and other geological features.

Understand and apply the principles of structural geology to analyze and interpret geological structures, such as faults and folds, and their implications for the Earth's crust.

Explain the theory of plate tectonics, including the processes of seafloor spreading, subduction, and continental drift, and recognize the relationship between plate boundaries and the occurrence of earthquakes.

Apply geological evidence, such as fossils, sedimentary layers, and stratigraphic principles, to reconstruct past environments, interpret Earth's history, and understand key events in geological time.

Develop skills in data analysis, critical thinking, and problem-solving through geological investigations and the interpretation of geological phenomena and processes.

Communicate effectively about geological concepts, both orally and in written form, using appropriate scientific terminology and visual aids to present findings and interpretations.

Collaborate with peers in group projects or fieldwork, demonstrating teamwork, data sharing, and effective communication in a geologically oriented context.

Develop an appreciation for the importance of geological knowledge and its applications in areas such as resource exploration, hazard assessment, and environmental management.

Exhibit ethical and responsible attitudes towards geological research, fieldwork, and the stewardship of Earth's geological resources.

By achieving these learning outcomes, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of geological mapping, structural geology, plate tectonics, and the interpretation of geological evidence, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue further studies or careers in the field of geology.
