GEOG 1215 — Physical Geography
| Lecture Physical Geography addresses interactions between our air, water, land and living environments. We'll explain how landscapes form and change over time, and how humans interact with their physical surroundings. We'll learn how to interpret maps and satellite images as we study the physical landscapes which both support and challenge our lives. Understanding the range of human responses (political, legal, social, economic, etc.) to changing physical environments is explored in context of ethics and civic responsibility. Overall, we will strive to develop an appreciation for the earth's varied physical geography and how that environment influences human lives. MNTC Goal Area(s): 09, 03
