The Physical Environment

Familiarize students with Earth systems—including the interrelationships among them—that operate at the surface of the Earth, with particular emphasis on those Earth-system processes that determine the distribution of physical phenomena at global and regional scales. Students learn about the principles and mechanisms of climate, weather, soils, vegetation, ecosystems, and earth surface processes that sculpt physical landscapes. Provide a basic appreciation of the physical features that characterize this unique planet and an understanding of their geographic distribution across the globe.
