Physical geography examines spatial elements of the physical environment--weather, climate, vegetation, soils and landforms. Students analyze the nature and characteristics of these elements, the processes involved in their development, their distribution over the earth, and their interrelationships. Students also examine the interrelationships between these elements and human activities. They use maps and other geographical data to locate, analyze, interpret, and solve geographical problems of a physical nature. This course is useful to students seeking to better understand geographical aspects of environmental issues. 3 contact hours; 3 semester hours.
