Catalina Island
Virtual Lab Introduction
Introduction
This
fieldtrip is written at a level appropriate for an introductory geology college
student or for a person that has no training but is willing to put in a little
effort to learn more about geology in general. It’s an observational trip,
meaning that we will observe characteristics of the rock units/features and
then apply them as the fieldtrip progresses in other areas. The is a supporting
PowerPoint for this trip and
it is advised that you view it before proceeding with the virtual lab.
