As you have experienced, Earth is a dynamic planet with many parts that are constantly changing the world around us. Some of these changes may be very noticeable, like a landslide, while others, like the weathering of mountains, may take thousands of years. As you reflect on your experience in this course, consider how this course has affected how you see the landscape around you. When you step outside and view rolling hills or mountains, how has your perception of them changed? Do you see weather events through the same lens as you did when you started this course? In this assignment, you will reflect on what you have learned and how you now see the Earth around you in a different light.
