This class serves as the laboratory component for physical geography with lecture materials covering topics related to global and surface weather patterns, global climate classification, plate tectonics, and biogeography. In this class, students are expected to be geographically literate through the use of maps and cartographic representation of the world's continents, oceans, and geographic formations. Students will further develop their geographic and geospatial knowledge of the world through scientific exploration and understanding of the physical processes testing geographic hypotheses.
Prerequisites: GEO-131
