“Virginia Rocks!” Geology Virtual Class
Virtual Online Class From Cornerstone Educational Supply
The Commonwealth of Virginia is anything but common in terms of its geology! From the swampy coastal plain to the highlands of the Applachians, Virginia’s geography has been shaped by the types of rocks beneath the surface.
These rocks were formed and shaped during Creation Week, the Flood, and also after the Flood. Along the way, we’ll survey the three major rock groups (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) and how they connect to Virginia’s landscape. This class will get you to see your home in a brand new way!
Virginia Rocks! meets one hour per day for five days.
Make the class even more hands-on fun! Purchase Cornerstone’s Introductory Rock Kit and add on the Geology Testing Kit for hands-on geology activities.
PRESENTER
Dr. Marcus Ross serves as director of the Center for Creation Studies and Professor of Geology at Liberty University. He has loved paleontology (especially dinosaurs) since he was a kid growing up in Rhode Island.
He has studied geology and paleontology at the Pennsylvania State University, the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, and the University of Rhode Island. Committed to a biblical understanding of Earth’s history, Dr. Ross regularly contributes to creationist research and education in both technical and popular literature. In 2015, he and his wife, Corinna, launched Cornerstone Educational Supply to provide outstanding science materials that affirm biblical creation.
