A scientific and spatial understanding of natural processes that shape the surface of our planet and the systems that exist between the atmosphere, climate, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere within the context of the human environment. This is a twelve (12) week online course in which you should be able to:
- demonstrate proficiency in the essentials, technology, and methodology of geography
- demonstrate proficiency in lithospheric systems (i.e. plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanoes, weathering, mass movement, river systems, and landforms).
- demonstrate proficiency in hydrospheric systems (i.e. atmospheric water and weather, water resources, climate systems, and climate change).
- demonstrate proficiency in energy and atmospheric systems (i.e. solar energy, seasons, atmospheric energy, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and atmospheric and oceanic circulations).
- demonstrate proficiency in biosphere systems (i.e. soils, ecosystems, terrestrial biomes, and the interaction of humans with the environment.
