(Perspectives I course) This course will examine the Earth Systems that shape and modify our physical environment. This includes aspects of Geology (rocks. mineral resources, and earth processes), Meteorology (atmosphere, climate, and weather patterns), and Oceanography (composition, movement, and geology of the oceans). These systems will be viewed in terms of the modern environment and how the earth's physical environment has changed throughout the history of the earth.
