3. Plate Tectonics

4. The Rock Cycle J:ollegeollege Noteseology and Soil Mechanics-Geology and Soil Mechanics

5. Rock Types Igneous Metamorphic Sedimentary

6. Rocks and Minerals Video

7. Geotechnics Engineering works are all carried out on or in the ground. Porosity and Permeability of rock and soil is vital to know. Water is the enemy of the engineer!!!! Strength of rock and soil is vital to know. Erosional and geological processes which subject them to change. Unstable Ground; not terra firma, can lead to unstable foundations.
