ENVI 320 - Physical Geography4.00 credit hours
The simple ingredients of water, soil, rocks and gravity combine to produce wonderfully complex landscapes on Earth. This course examines how some of Earth’s physical processes (e.g., hydrologic, geomorphologic, meteorologic) create and modify those landscapes. Students will learn the design and execution of field research techniques in physical geography (field notes, sketching, soil and water sampling, and mapping) through team and individual research projects. Briefly considered is how landscapes affect natural phenomena such as vegetation and wildlife. Laboratory required.
Prerequisite(s): Two courses from BIOL 195 , BIOL 205 , CHEM 121 , ENVI 106 , PHYS 131 , PHYS 161 or Instructor Consent.
