Physical Geography Exam 1 Study Guide

This is a very general study guide. I’ve just included main headings of sections and topics you should know in much more detail. It is not exhaustive, but it highlights the main points that you should focus on.  You should use the lectures as a guide – if I mention something in the lecture, then you should find that section in the book and really read up on it.  The same goes for the items listed below – you should read these sections in the text very carefully.  Take notes.  The test is open book and open note, but you only have 2 hours, so use you time wisely.  It will be about 80 multiple-choice questions and possibly few short answers.  Good Luck! Will consist of 80 multiple questions and one short answer.
