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 the Earth?s atmosphere by analyzing interactions among and between the Earth?s Systems as matter and energy are continuously exchanged. Topics included in the course are atmospheric structure and composition, solar radiation and energy balances, temperature, seasonal changes, moisture in the atmosphere, clouds and fog, precipitation, air pressure, winds, air masses, fronts and cyclonic activity, weather forecasting, climates and climate change. This course also focuses on the Earth and its inhabitants have changed though time, how humans interact with the aforementioned topics, and strategies to counter negative impacts associated with global climate change.
