Physical Geology—The earth, its rocks and minerals, surface and subterranean features, their origin and causes as revealed in land features. Credit not given for both Geology 111, 112, and Geology 101. Field trips required. Four lectures a week. Geology 112, Physical Geology laboratory, must be taken concurrently. A S (4) PS112. Physical Geology Laboratory—Laboratory and field study of minerals, rocks, earth features, and topographic, geologic, and air photo maps. Must accompany Geology 111. Three hours a week. A S (1) PS121. Rocks, Minerals and Earth Materials—Recognition and occurrence of the common ore and rock minerals, rocks, fuels, and other economic materials through class discussions and laboratory work. Field trips required. Three lectures and one 3-hour laboratory period a week. A (4) 122. Historical Geology—The history of the earth, from its origin to the present, as interpreted from the rocks and their fossil contents. North America, particularly Utah and the adjacent areas, is emphasized. Two required field trips provide a valuable supplement to class discussion. Four lectures and one 3-hour laboratory period a week. W (5) 204.

Mineralogy of Ore Minerals—Identification of important ore minerals. Prerequisite: Geology 204. One lecture and two 3-hour laboratory periods a week. W (3) 206. Petrology—Sight recognition of rocks and a study of their classification and occurrence. Two lectures and one 3-hour laboratory period a week. Prerequisite: Geology 204. S (3) 254. Environmental Geology—The relationship between man and his geological habitat. Problems that people have in using the earth, and the reaction of the earth to that use. Emphasis on earth processes, earth resources, engineering properties of rocks and surficial deposits, geological hazards, land use planning, manipulation of the hydrologic cycle, and urban geologic problems. Field trips required. Three lectures and one 3-hour laboratory a week. Prerequisites: Geology 101 and 112 or 111 and 112 or consent of the instructor. S (4) 275.
