Course context for academic year 2016-17

La geología histórica es la rama de la geología que estudia las transformaciones que ha sufrido la Tierra desde su formación, hace unos 4.570 millones de años, hasta el presente.

La geología regional es una rama de las ciencias geológicas que se ocupa de la configuración geológica de cada continente, país, región o de zonas determinadas de la Tierra. En esta asignatura se describirá los principales rasgos geológicos de la Península Ibérica y zonas marinas adyacentes, Canarias, Europa y el Norte de África.

La asignatura Geología Histórica y Regional está relacionada con otras asignaturas de Grado como Estratigrafía, Paleontología, Sedimentología.

Nota: se aconseja tener aprobadas las siguientes asignaturas: Paleontología, Estratigrafía y Sedimentología.
