EARTH: WHAT'S ON TOP

Coordinators: Judy Weis, Pete Weis

This semester, the course will focus on the natural features of the Earth that are on the surface.

We will examine mountains, volcanoes, various types of forests, from pine forests to tropical rain forests, grasslands, the various kinds of wetlands (freshwater and salt water), glaciers, deserts, and the atmosphere. Presenters will focus on why a particular ecosystem is found in a particular location (such as soil type, water, temperature, altitude). Presenters will also focus on how these different features (called “biomes”) are changing due to human activities such as changing the climate.
