EAPS 56000 - Seismotectonics And Lithospheric Deformation

Credit Hours: 3.00. This course explores plate tectonic processed from the scale of plate motions to the individual stresses that deform rocks. Emphasis is placed on sources of stress and how this stress is manifested in the lithosphere through faulting, folding, earthquake generation, and plate motions. Seismic waves and the information they provide about the interior of the Earth is discussed. Additionally, extensional, compressional, and transform plate boundaries are covered. Students are required to read, present, and discuss recent and important research papers relating to the lecture topics. Typically offered Fall semesters in alternating years.
