ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A
GEOGRAPHY/GEOLOGY MAJOR?
Geography answers two questions: where are things located and why are they located where they are? Geographers interpret and explain the occurrence, distribution and interactions of natural and cultural features on the earth. They analyze phenomena according to their locations, areal extent and spatial relationships. Geology is the study of the solid surface of the earth and the processes which shape this surface. Geologists are interested in the origin and nature of rocks and sediments and the various processes that affect them. By looking at the earth’s physical makeup and history, geologists find the key to discovering useful resources and understanding processes which may be beneficial or harmful to us. Geologists often work with geographers, chemists, and physicists in their search for information about or planet’s makeup.
