The primary purpose of Physical Geography is to provide you with an overview of the physical environment in which we live. Toward that end, a variety of topics are covered -- many of which are interconnected. In addition, the course is constructed to provide the following:

• an awareness of the important concepts, facts, and terminology of physical geography;
• an introduction into the way natural systems function at global and regional scales;
• an appreciation of the interrelationships between humans and their environment; and
• a substantial foundation that is needed for further studies in physical geography and is supplementary to studies in human geography. This course provides a very useful foundation for the other Virtual Geography courses.

This course is ideal for students wishing to develop a fundamental understanding of Earth systems and gain a greater appreciation for the physical landscapes around them.
