| Summary: | addresses for government and commercial sources of planetary although some Earth-like processes may operate on the outer and gradational processes, which are taught in introductory and the solar system, a review of planetary morphologic apply to them. The moons of the outer planets are also college freshman- or sophomore-level course in planetary course. different in composition and environmental conditions; Earth's. Concepts learned in introductory physical geography environmental conditions, the history of observation and exploration of the planet, general surface conditions and extraterrestrial environments. Planetary geography provides geography. Planetary geography interrelates geology, geology and geography courses, and introduces the process of geomorphology, meteorology, and other natural sciences to have compositions and morphologic processes similar to images, maps, globes, slides, and videos. The course impact cratering. The units about each planet include includes only the inner, or terrestrial, planets because they including an instructors overview, list of objectives, list information about stars, planets, and galaxies. The information about the planet's general orbital and introduction also describes the types of bodies that make up Mars. The introduction to the solar system provides basic moons, other processes are completely different. Therefore, of key terms, suggested activities, and suggested discussion of six units, including an introduction to physical geography operating in different planetary environments, which may lead or geology can be directly extended to the terrestrial planetary morphologic processes reviews tectonism, volcanism, planets. The outer planets, or gas giants, have no solid processes, and descriptions of significant features. Each processes, and units about the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and questions. The curriculum includes an appendix of teaching resources, consisting of World Wide Web sites and postal space missions. Units also provide pedagogical tools, study the spatial relationships between elements of surfaces, and therefore, Earth's geomorphic processes do not the geography of the outer moons is reserved for an advanced The objective of this thesis is to develop a curriculum for a the opportunity to study Earth's geomorphic processes the solar system and their spatial distribution. The unit on to a better understanding of Earth. The curriculum consists unit includes extensive illustrative images obtained by NASA |
