PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
A subject of one term's duration, comprising three 1-hour lectures and one 2-hour laboratory/seminar dass a week, together with approximately 20 hours of field activities.
Prerequisite: Nil SYLLABUS
The subject is designed as an introduction to tertiary studies in physical geography.
This introduction has a breadth appropriate for students who do not intend to take studies in geography beyond first-year level, but at the same time it provides a basis for further studies in more specialised fields of physical geography which are available to students who proceed to later years.
The subject is concerned with the systematic study of physical processes operative at the surf ace of the earth. From initial consideration of the formation of the earth's crust, it examines components of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere, largely within the context of processes causing variation in land su rf ace form.
The lectures and laboratory/seminar classes a re designed to acquaint students with the fundamental principles and methodology of physical geography, while the field studies will be used to integrate aspects of the subject within the context of Victorian examples. Training is provided in a range of field techniques and in methods of data analysis.

manufacturing systems; transport networks; the movement of goods, people and information. The lectures and seminar classes are designed to acquaint students with the fundamental principles and methodology of human geography, while the field studies and laboratory work are used to integrate aspects of the subject within the context of a regional study in Victoria.
