Subjects such as plate tectonics and the rock cycle, along with a simple classification of rocks, will be explained. Geological structures such as faults and folds will be covered. Global and local examples (where possible) will be used to illustrate the elements included.

Field trips will include a half-day building stones of Newcastle walk to see examples of a wide variety of rocks from around the world. A full day field trip to the coast at Hartley/Seaton Sluice will explore some of our local rocks.
