Earth Science (Toowoomba campus, Online)

An extraordinary revolution in our knowledge of planet Earth during the latter half of the twentieth century has transformed earth science. We have viewed our earth from space and landed on its moon, we have seen the ocean floor and mapped its shape and structure, and we have discovered how the crust under the oceans differs markedly from the crust under the continents. We have employed modern remote-sensing technologies to investigate the earth’s interior, and we now know how earth’s internal heat is related to volcanism, earthquakes, mountain building, and drifting and colliding continents. For more information see the .
