    Description
    This course is a survey of the physical earth and its impact upon human utilization of the environment. The earth is depicted as the home of people: the inter-relationship of weather and climate, soil and vegetation patterns, landforms, minerals and ocean basins are stressed as they relate to human activities. The various types of maps, their development through geospatial technology, and their practical application are also considered.
