150 Introduction To Physical Geography (3)
This course is an introduction to the study of the natural environmental
systems of earth--the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the biosphere, and the
lithosphere. The primary objective of the course is to provide a broad
overview of these systems at a global scale. This overview will entail
descriptions of natural systems and the variations they exhibit both from place
to place and through time. It will also entail explaining how natural systems
operate and interact with each other, thereby providing a necessary foundation
for understanding the tremendously diverse physical geography of earth.
Applies to natural science requirement. Prerequisites: None. Offered: Fall
