Geographers try to understand the patterns of the distribution of things on the earth's surface.
They seek to explain the interrelationships between people and their environments. They also attempt to understand how people influence phenomena on the earth's surface and how such features and phenomena in turn influence people. This course will introduce you to concepts ranging from economy, politics, plants, rocks, culture, and landforms to industry, population, and agriculture. You will also learn many new Geographic concepts and work with new tools including maps. The location of countries, regions, and physical features encountered in the study will form an important aspect of the course.
