GEOG 1160Landforms

Catalog

Students learn about the physical processes that shape and reshape the face of the earth. Students are introduced to geomorphic forces that work from within Earth to create landforms and processes that operate at Earth's surface to wear landforms away. Students pay considerable attention to the fact that many processes that create or destroy landforms also constitute natural hazards with which human societies must contend. College-level reading skills are recommended for success in this course.
