The second of two complementary courses in physical geography, GEOG 111 once more gives the students the opportunity to understand part of the complex physical and biological environment in which human beings live. The many and varied landforms of the Earth's surface and its thin mantle of soils are also studied. The students will learn how the nature and distribution of these phenomena are influenced by the internal forces and geological structure of the lithosphere and by the interactive effects of the atmosphere and hydrosphere working on the Earth's crust. Throughout the course, the class will look at some patterns of human activity that are both a response to certain environmental processes and a cause of many of them. The students will also be asked to observe and interpret aspects of their local environment in the light of what they have learned.
