Introduction to Physical Geography: Earth Science

Introduction to geomorphology, the scientific study of the landscape and landscape formation processes. Introduction to the physical structure of the earth, earth materials, the nature and formation of major landform features on the earth’s surface, and the processes that continue to shape the landscape such as rivers, oceans, glaciers, winds, earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. Very beneficial for students interested in other disciplines that consider the natural environment (such as agriculture, ecology, engineering), or fields that deal with human/ environment interaction (such as the social sciences, history, anthropology, architecture). It will also be beneficial to students interested in relief, development and mission work.
