Planet Earth presents an overview of several aspects of our home, from a geological perspective.  We begin with earthquakes\u2014what they are, what causes them, what effects they have, and what we can do about them. We will emphasize that plate tectonics\u2014the grand unifying theory of geology\u2014explains how the map of our planet&#8217;s surface has changed radically over geologic time, and why present-day geologic activity\u2014including a variety of devastating natural disasters such as earthquakes\u2014occur where they do.  We consider volcanoes, types of eruptions, and typical rocks found there. Finally, we will delve into the processes that produce the energy and mineral resources that modern society depends on, to help understand the context of the environment and sustainability challenges that we will face in the future.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Price: Enroll For Free!<\/h2>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-light-gray-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/planet-earth\">View Class<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Language:<\/strong> <\/em>English<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Subtitles<\/strong>: <\/em>English<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"background-color:#496d89\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/planet-earth\">Planet Earth&#8230;and You!<strong> &#8211; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description Earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, ice ages, landslides, floods, life evolution, plate motions\u2014all of these phenomena have interacted over the vast expanses of deep time to sculpt the dynamic planet that we live on today.
