- The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the wide range of human and physical processes and landscapes that shape the Slovak Republic. Our investigations will include landforms and landform regions; climate; rivers and water reservoirs; soil types; landscape ecosystems; human impact on the environment; population and settlement patterns; agriculture; industry; transportation; urbanization; and cultural regions. We will integrate these topics and processes in ways that will allow us to understand generalized patterns as well as gain appreciation for the idiosyncrasies of specific places.
