Our earth is a dynamic planet, incessantly creating ocean basins and mountain ranges, accompanied by earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and landslides. This course is designed to acquaint you with how the Earth functions, how it is changing, how its features shape human society, and how we change the Earth itself.
