Geology of the Carboniferous and Permian - 360-252 Million Years Ago

This course explores the geology of the Carboniferous and Permian periods, focusing on the formation of Pangea, its impact on climate and sea level, and the tectonic events that shaped the Earth during this time. By the end of the course, learners will understand the geological processes that led to the formation of Pangea, the significance of Carboniferous coal swamps, and the mountain-building events such as the Alleghenian and Ouachita Orogenies. The course teaches about the geological tools used by geologists and employs a lecture-based teaching method. This course is intended for geology enthusiasts, students, and professionals interested in Earth's geological history during the late Paleozoic era.
