This
site
is
a
collaborative
effort
of
the
U.
S.
Geological
Survey
(USGS)
and
National
Park
Service
(NPS).
The
presentation
is
structured
to
inform
and
entice
virtual
and
future
park
visitors
with
a
non-technical
approach
to
geology.
Everyone
from
middle-school
age
to
experts
will
find
something
of
interest.
Each
'entry'
page
including
the
first
page
of
any
topic
is
presented
at
the
most
basic
level.

was
put
together
by
the
U.S.G.S.
(United
States
Geological
Survey)
and
the
N.P.S.
(National
Park
Service)
and
provides
an
overview
of
plate
tectonics.
It
begins
by
explaining
about
the
Earth's
core,
mantle,
and
crust.
It
then
discusses
the
crustal
plates
and
the
types
of
plate
boundaries
(convergent,
divergent
and
transform).
The
lesson
ends
with
paleogeographic
reconstructions
of

Dave
Bunnell,
a
caver
and
photographer
for
over
30
years
has
collected
images
from
caves
all
over
the
world.
This
site
tells
the
story
of
caves
in
words
and
pictures;
what's
in
them
and
how
it
got
there.
Information
can
be
found
on
four
types
of
caves:
solution,
lava
tube,
sea,
and
erosional.
Each
section
begins
with
an
introduction
to
the
type
of
cave
-
how
it
was
formed,
what's
inside
of
it,

Geology
course
is
described
as
the
fundamental,
unifying
course
in
the
geology
curriculum
at
the

Wooster.
The
goals
are
to
teach
the
basic
scientific
techniques
used
by
geologists,
how
to
access
a
wide
variety
of
geological
information,
how
to
make
scientific
observations,
and
how
to
develop
hypotheses.

This
is
a
course
handout
to
accompany
the
discussion
of
sedimentary
depositional
environments.
Facies
are
defined
as
all
of
the
characteristics
of
a
particular
rock
unit.
The
effects
of
transgressions
and
regressions
on
depositional
environments
are
discussed
with
reference
to
fluctuations
in
sea
level.
These
effects
are
then
related
to
Walther's
Law.
