Pengertian dan cara belajar geologi


Geology is the study of the Earth as a whole, its origin, structure, composition, and history (including the development of life), and the nature of the processes which have given rise to its present state.

Whitten, DGA and Brooks, JRV. 1977. The Penguin Dictionary of Geology. Middlesex: Penguin Books. p. 204.

Pertanyaan: Cari definisi lain dari buku-buku geologi berbahasa Inggris di Perpustakaan Pusat.

Pengertian dan cara belajar geologi


Mengikuti pendidikan kebumian Lokatama untuk belajar geologi: Perpustakaan termasuk internet Laboratorium (studio) dan museum geologi Lapangan Sebagaimana pembelajaran ilmu alam yang lain, dalam menghadapi bahan atau fenomena geologi perlu dilakukan: Observasi (pengamatan), Analisis, dan Sintesis

Pengertian dan cara belajar geologi

Perhatikan Belum dikatakan belajar geologi sebelum ke perpustakaan, laboratorium, dan lapangan (survei)! Apakah FTM UPN Veteran Yogyakarta memfasilitasi pembelajaran di 3 (tiga) lokatama termasuk museum tersebut di atas?

Why study geology?

Because geology is all around us! 1. Geological Resources 2. The Environment Environmental 3. Geological Hazards Geology (Changes posing risks) 4. Engineering 5. Landforms and Surface Processes 6. Historical Geology
Geology forms the basis of our great civilizations

Why study geology? 1. Geological Resources


The Cradle of Civilization (Fertile Crescent) Development limited by availability, e.g., soil, water, energy Conflicts based on resources, e.g., water, minerals, oil
http://encarta.msn.com/

Why study geology? 1. Geological Resources


The Cradle of Civilization sprung from geology of the region

Tigris River, Iraq

Why study geology? 2. The Environment


Misuse of geologic resources

These Maps illustrate the Fertile Crescent in 1973 (top) and 2000 (bottom). Permanent marshlands, pictured in green, have shrunk 90 percent in that period.

Slope Failure Risk Assessment and Control

To prevent slope failure engineers must understand the geology that forms and controls the slope

Why study geology? 4. Geology in Engineering The Leaning Tower Straightens Up


In Pisa the tilted one is back in business after an 11-year effort to keep it from collapsing
Committee member John Burland, an engineer, promoted soil extraction as the best way to save the tower.
