Description: |  | Physical geography is a study of spatial patterns and natural processes on and near Earth's surface. As an introductory survey course, GEG 101 explores where and why ecologic, climatologic, and geomorphic phenomena occur. Students will develop a better understanding of the natural environment and our role within it. The far-reaching topics include maps and map making, weather and climate, biogeography, and landform development and change. This is a natural science course. Three class hours. NOTE: Students who successfully complete GEG 101 may, with the addition of GEG 100, complete the requirement for SUNY Natural Science General Education. GEG 100 may be taken concurrently or in a later semester, but the student will not have satisfied the SUNY requirement until both GEG 101 and GEG 100 are successfully completed. (SUNY-NS) |
