Introduction

According to the Social Studies curriculum document, provided by the Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth, the contemporary approach to physical geography education emphasizes the nature of earth systems and their interactions with each other and with humans, ecological patterns, environmental issues, and the limitations that the physical world places on human activities and, in turn, the impact of human activities on the physical world. When considered within this new approach, the study of physical geography is both timely and relevant in view of the global challenges facing humankind on Planet Earth.
