This course is designed as an introduction to Earth's physical processes, structures and composition, and includes coverage of Earth's internal processes, such as those that cause earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain building; surface processes, such as rivers and waves, wind, glaciers and the landforms that result from these processes; the nature and origin of rocks and minerals that form the Earth's crust; and structures related to folding and faulting, will be studied.

This introductory earth and space science course covers basic principles from the fields of geology, astronomy, oceanography, and meteorology. Minerals and rocks, natural processes acting at the earth's surface and within the Earth, plate tectonics, geologic time and dating, composition and motions of the Earth, solar system, phases of the moon, origin and life cycles of stars, galaxies, water movements, ocean floor, weather and climate, along with other related topics, will be studied.

This course will engage the student in learning the key concepts and scientific principles of Climate Science by analyzing interactions among and between Earth's Systems as matter and energy are continuously exchanged, and the influence from our position in the Solar System and Universe. We will examine the processes that occur in our atmosphere and hydrosphere, and how these processes create Earth's climate. We must also consider how the Earth and its inhabitants have changed through time, how humans interact with weather and climate systems, and strategies to counter negative impacts to global climate change.
