We did a hellacious amount of weather stuff, and how water cycles and land forms etc. worked. Granted the school’s demographics were kids largely from rural farming and pastoral backgrounds, and all this was considered life-essential information. I think now that these classes were probably what got me hooked on figuring out as best I could how and why the universe works. Which led to an engineering degree, though not to any career evenly remotely resembling engineering.
How interesting. The weather was never covered in our geography classes!!
