Unique landscapes lead to National Parks. We visit these parks to explore amazing scenery. Have you ever wondered why those landscapes are formed? This class will explore many national parks, monuments, and seashores to understand how geologic processes have formed and impacted those landscapes. Geologic processes include natural hazards, plate tectonics, climate, and the movement of sediment. Learn about the Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park, Cuyahoga Valley, and more.
