The geology of California is one of the most diverse in the United States. This Expedition takes Student Explorers on a journey across the great state of California discovering the geological processes that shaped the landscape. These forces include volcanic eruptions, water and wind erosion, and plate tectonics. Also discussed is the importance the mining industry plays in the economy of California. Student Explorers receive a collection of rocks, minerals, and fossils indigenous to California.

Cost – $12.50 per Explorer.
