Students will learn about the methodical examination of the patterns and processes that have influenced how people have perceived, used, and altered the Earth's surface during this course. Student-geographers can learn more about how humans affect and are influenced by their physical environment by studying the connections between cultural groups and their physical geography.
To make links between various cultural groups and their interactions with one another, we will look into a variety of cultural phenomena, including language, religion, politics, and economic systems. In order to look into connections between the physical and human worlds as well as the interactions that have shaped our planet and human life, students will study maps and other geographical tools.
