Physical geography studies the processes at work in the physical environment in order to understand the earth as the home of people. Physical geography shows how everything connects to everything else. It pulls together several natural sciences. Geology - Landscapes, earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, floods, etc. Why global climate regions differ, their opportunities and limitations Ecology - Environmental issues, global warming, desertification, rain forests, etc.
Physical geography is a science class which many students find difficult.
However, we offer a lot of help in the form of computer tutorials, study guides, visual materials, and web exploration. There is an online version of physical geography for those students that work out of their home. Physical geography is a prerequisite or co requisite. It meets the lab requirements for transfer to a four-year college. This is a one unit course for 3 hours of lab work each week.
