Students will receive the follwing competences:
- they are introduced to the professional terminology in Geomorphology and can correctly reproduce it.
- they will recognize and understand the inherent interrelationships in the environmental systems and will be able to transfer this knowledge to other environmental questions.Content:
Physical geography is an area of study that connects people to their physical world. Physical geography examines the world as a system of interacting parts and explores the processes and feedbacks between the lithosphere (rocks), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), and biosphere (living things). Since people and human populations are a part of the global system, we also consider how human activities are changing these systems, both globally and locally.
Method: Lecture with discussion.
