| Explore planet Earth, with emphasis on its composition, struture, cycles and processes that impact society and how humans in turn are impacting the planet. Learn how natural phenomena including plate tectonics, earthquakes and natural hazards, geology, the distribution of water, mineral and energy resources, atmosphere-hydrosphere interactions and climate influence how and where we live and work. Examine how human activities and consumption of resources affect the environment, and consider approaches we can take to improve sustainability and mitigate the impacts of both natural and anthropogenic hazards including climate change.
