• FIND (one or two examples)
• Earth as a system of which humans are a
  significant part
• Human induced landscape change
• Roadcuts, developments, agriculture,
• Humans living in areas of high hazard
• Humans attempting to control nature / hazards
• Geometry and processes of fluvial systems and
  hillslopes
• Hillslope processes in action (landslides etc.)
• Temperate fluvial system
• Desert fluvial system
• Differences?
• Manifestation of plate tectonics along faults at
  and near plate boundaries, earthquake cycle,
  earthquakes recorded in landscape
• Find a fault
• How do you know?
• Type of offset?
