Physical Environment 101 is
organizec into subsets ol
teteorolofcy anc climatology,
geomorphology, biogeography and
soils. We will examine the
interactions ol' the processes
involved in these natural phenomena
as the earth's surface is modified
by them and by human use of the
earth's resources. This data
prepares you for advanced cluster
courses in physical geography and
gives understanding of physical
forces with which we react.

READINGS: HUIJU1 GEOGRAPLY
DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this
cour.e is to introduce students to
the basic concepts and principles of
cultural geography. Humanity is
examined on the premise that
peoples' values derive from their
cultural background (ethnicity,
religion, socio-economic groups,
etc.). As groups, humans have used
the earth and their environments for
a variety of purposes, all of which
are expressed cn the landscape.
This relationship of mankind to the
land is studied in this course. The
basic techniques and methodologies
of cultural geographers are also
taught, as are geographic
perspectives. This is an important
course (albeit not a prerequisite)
for students going on to study
thematic courses in cultural
geography (landscape, urban,
religion, ethnicity, political,
etc.) and regional geography (for
example: U.5., U.S.S.R., Western
and Eastern Europe, Latin America,
Asia, Middle East, etc.)

General Geology. It covers the
internal dynamic processes of the
Earth, including the generation and
effects of heat, magnetism, gravity,
seismology, rock deformation, plate
tectonics, and formation of economic
mineral deposits. It summarizes
current understanding of the
behavior and evolution of the Earth,
and the methods by which this
understanding has been achieved.
COKKENTS: Geclogy 202 is the second

DESCRIPTION: The conflict between
the neec to maintain environmental
quality and the pressure to develop
mineral, energy, and water resources
is as acute as ever. Sound
decisions about whether to extract
the resources in the ore deposits,
coal seams, oil reservoirs,
geothermal systems ana aquifers
require a knowledge of the basic
characteristics of these deposits
coupled with an assessment of the
environmental, human and political
costs of exploiting them. In this
course, we will explore the
geographic distribution and geologic
characteristics of various mineral
and energy resources and evaluate
