Home Publications Tutorial Standards : Seven Standard 7 The National Geography Standards Climate and geomorphic physical processes (e.g., weathering, erosion, diastrophism) help us to understand landforms large and small. Knowledge of these processes becomes a tool we can use to understand physical landscapes wherever we go. Ayers Rock, or Uluru, Australia - In the "red heart" of Australia, Ayers Rock (sandstone known as arkose) is one of many inselbergs, or isolated mountains, that characterize the landscape because they are comparatively resistant to differential erosion , how different rocks erode away at different rates. Near Lebanon, Pennsylvania - In Pennsylvania, a diabase outcrop called Dinosaur Rock is a world away from Australia, but the same physical processes are at work in both areas. Diabase is hard, erosion-resistant igneous rack. Dinosaur Rock's relief derives from the same process as Ayers Rock: differential erosion. Physiographic Provinces of the Contiguous United States - The boundaries of the physiographic provinces or land form regions, of the 48 contiguous states are shown on this map without names. How many provinces can you name? What you get out of a map depends on the knowledge you bring to the map.

About BCOU COURSES COURSE SEARCH REGISTER NOW WHAT'S NEW CONTACT US GEOG 110 Introduction to Physical Geography I 4.0 Credits Description GEOG 110 provides an opportunity for understanding part of the complex physical and biological environment in which human beings live. The course introduces basic processes that influence the characteristics and spatial relationships of climate, the water cycle, and vegetation. In the first part of the course, students will examine the interactions of solar energy with the Earth's atmosphere and surface, and the ways in which atmospheric circulation, precipitation, and weather systems are generated. The second part of the course covers the cycling of water and other Earth resources within the living zone-the biosphere. Students will investigate the manner in which these cycles, together with flows of energy, influence the nature and distribution of ecosystems and vegetation. Throughout the course, students will look at the patterns of human activity that suggest a response to environmental processes, and students will be asked to observe and interpret aspects of their local environment in the light of what they have learned. Delivery Method Delivery is self-paced, allowing you the flexibility to proceed through the course according to your own schedule. The BCOU has no admission requirements and you can register for this course at any time throughout the year.

Home Academics Greg Ohanian Department Chair Office: S-202 Ext. 8428 Geography can be divided into two major branches: Physical geography and Cultural Geography. The Physical Sciences Department offers courses in Physical Geography. Physical geography covers the planet, from climate to landforms to hazards and disasters to the distribution of plants and animals. Physical Geography covers subjects such as geomorphology, climatology, biogeography, soils geography hydrography, oceanography, and cartography.

Geography From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Geography is the study of the locational and spatial variation in both physical and human phenomena on Earth . The word derives from the Greek words gê ("the Earth") and graphein ("to write", as in "to describe"). Geography is also the title of various historical books on this subject, notably the Geographia by Klaudios Ptolemaios 2nd century Geography is much more than cartography , the study of maps . It not only investigates what is where on the Earth, but also why it's there and not somewhere else, sometimes referred to as "location in space". It studies this whether the cause is natural or human. It also studies the consequences of those differences.
