The laboratory manual to accompany the second Canadian edition of Physical Geography: The Global Environment contains 22 hands-on exercises that cover the core concepts of physical geography: climate, weather systems, geomorphology, soils, zoogeography-just to name a few. Each lab relates to a particular unit or units of the textbook and uses maps, figures, tables, aerial photographs, and data sets to highlight Canadian geographical features and localities.
