Geography 203 Planet Earth Exercises in Physical Geography

By Charles W. Lafon

Physical geography is among the grandest scientific disciplines. It is the science of the earth's surface, and its subjects are the features that inspire us, provide sustenance for us, and sometimes threaten us. These features include everything from mountains to rivers, ocean currents to storm tracks, and prairies to rainforests. In studying physical geography, we gain a systematic understanding of why these features exist and how they interact with human populations. This understanding is critical if people are to manage environmental problems and sustain our economic well-being. The group of exercises included in this publication has been created to help students understand essential topics in physical geography. These exercises augment the textbook and lecture material. No single exposure to a topic is sufficient for learning it; rather, it is through repeatedly grappling with a topic that we can truly begin to comprehend it.
