A largely nonmathematical course in the study of the Earth’s atmosphere. This course examines the structure, composition, and properties of the atmosphere: origin and changes in the atmosphere over geologic history, comparison of Earth’s atmosphere to that of other planets, weather lore, cloud formation and identification, hurricanes, midlatitude cyclones, tornadoes, dust devils, Coriolis force, pressure gradient force, geostrophic winds, global atmospheric circulation, climate change, the greenhouse effect, inversions, deterioration of the ozone layer, weather maps and Instruments, weather forecasting, lightning and other aspects of atmospheric electricity, optical properties of the atmosphere (rainbows, haloes, perihelia and parselene, coronae, and glories; mirages), interaction of the atmosphere with the oceans, fronts and air masses are among the topics examined. (Laboratory fee required) Cross-listed under Geology. (Physics = Parent)

Prerequisite: PHYS 204 or permission of the instructor. An introduction to special relativity, quantum theory and quantum mechanics, nuclear structure, and statistical distributions.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: 12 hours of science credit, including PHYS 201 or 203. In this course students will engage in learning, research and discussion of scientific topics including the creation of the universe, the creation of the earth, requirements for life and the nature of time, and consider how they support and complement a Biblical worldview. Students will also consider the scientific problems posed to alternative worldviews. The course will address several current issues, including the role of Christianity in science, the philosophical foundations of naturalism, and the role of Intelligent Design in the science classroom.
