Spokane's Exciting Geology   

The Spokane area has a fascinating and diverse geologic history! Starting with an ancient 1.8 billion year old supercontinent to 1.4 billion year old marine rocks to 100 million year old intrusions of magma. Now, fast forward to the Eocene Epoch 50 million years ago when the Pacific Northwest experienced changing tectonic plate movements causing extension, uplift of the crust, and a resulting metamorphic core complex. But wait, there is more! Our region documents the huge outpourings of Columbia River flood basalt, culminating with the recent ice age and catastrophic Missoula Floods. Spokane is a Disneyland of geologic history, and this class will take you on an exciting ride through time.
