Book Description: A Practical Guide to Introductory Geology (2021-2022 Edition) is a comprehensive laboratory manual covering the physical aspects of geology, including rocks and minerals, plate tectonics, streams, structural geology, and much more. The text has a strong emphasis on examples from western Canada, especially Alberta and British Columbia, and includes a diverse set of exercises intended to accompany the GEOL 1101 curriculum at Mount Royal University. This laboratory manual is an adaptation of Physical Geology - 2nd Edition by Steven Earle, and builds on the original edition of A Practical Guide to Introductory Geology by Siobhan McGoldrick.

Outcrop exposures in the Richardson Mountains offer a unique perspective into the tectonic history of the Western Arctic. In this photo, packages of centimetre- to decimetre-scale sandstone and siltstone beds in the Devonian Imperial Formation have been folded into distinct chevron-like shapes. These features are thought to record a period of regional compressional deformation that began in the Cretaceous and continued into the Paleogene.
