Physical Geography (GPH)
Earth's physical processes and impacts on human environments via the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere. Topics include severe weather, climate change, biomes and ecosystems, landform processes; mountain building and erosion by rivers, glaciers, waves and wind. Prerequisites: None. Course Notes: General Education Designation: Natural Sciences (Quantitative) - [SQ] in combination with: GPH112
Earth's physical processes and impacts on the human environment via the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere. Practical experiences include earth-sun relationships, weather, climate, biomes, landform processes; mountain building and erosion by rivers, glaciers, waves and wind, topographic maps. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in GPH111 or Corequisites: GPH111. Course Notes: General Education Designation: Natural Sciences (Quantitative) - [SQ] in combination with GPH111.
