In-depth notes explaining the generation of magma at divergent boundaries, intraplate settings (hotspots) and convergent boundaries, the generation of granite, advanced radiometric dating, igneous bodies and igneous processes

Descriptive notes explaining the fossil record, lagerstatten, evolutionary trends, evolution of vertebrates, mass extinctions, global climate, evidence for past climates, the influence of greenhouse gases, tectonics and volcanoes on the environment, and the Anthropocene.

In depth notes and diagrams about weathering and erosion, triangular graphs, desert and fluvial environments, deltaic systems, turbidity currents and turbidites, limestone formation, and diagenesis

Detailed notes and diagrams explaining weathering and erosion, the Hjulstrom Curve, sedimentary rock descriptors, sedimentary structures, key facies in sedimentary, fluvial and marine environments, and the process of diagenesis

Detailed notes and diagrams explaining igneous rocks and textures, the structure of oceanic crust, igneous structures, absolute dating and volcanoes (hazards, prediction and monitoring)

Notes and diagrams explaining the processes of metamorphism - both regional and contact - as well as the rocks produced by each. Includes how to describe the metamorphic rocks and create thin section drawings.

Detailed notes on the processes of fossilisation, the fossil record, and the fossil groups. Includes labelled diagrams.
