 Geography means "Description Of

The Earth's Surface."

Geology, which means "Study Of

The Earth."

Geography is about anything that

happens on the ground, or above it,
including how people live and use
the land
 Geology studies the earth's
content, like the plates that
form it and how they move.
Geography is
the study of the physical
features of the earth,
including how humans
affect the earth and are
affected by it.
 dealswith physical aspects of the
earth: the composition, the layers
of the earth, the atmosphere, the
plants and animals, mountains,
rivers, and other landforms.
Human Geography deals with the
study of people and there communities,
cultures, economics and interactions. It is
also study the relationship between
Human Societies.
Physical geography is the study of
natural features and phenomena on the
planet's surface and our interactions
with them. These features include
vegetation, climate, the local water
cycle, and land formations
1. Land
Formation
2. Soil
3. Water Access
4. Climate
 1.
Land formation it is the physical
shape of an area and the several
processes that help form that shape.

 One process that makes a big impact is

plate tectonics: the movements of
crustal plates on the Earth's surface.
These plates are constantly sliding past
and colliding into one another..
 Plate movements can affect the
availability of water by disrupting rivers
and they disturb land formations that
humans have settled on, like an
earthquake ravaging a major city.
Animals hunted by humans for food can
be displaced as well, forcing people to
move to another area to survive
  Soil carries out several functions that
profoundly impact human activity. Soil
recycles nutrients, regulates water
quality, sustains life, and provides
structural support for buildings.

. Without healthy soil, a previously fertile

area turns into a desert, making it
difficult to sustain vegetation and
prevent massive loss of life
 Soil doesn't just provide for agriculture, it
also helps modern life because it
contains minerals.

These minerals include ore, which

contains metals used for electronics
and peat used for heating. People may
move temporarily to more fertile areas
to provide for their families, especially if
they live in poorer countries like Kenya
3. Water Access

 Wateris purified by evaporation into the

atmosphere, from where it falls back to
land and the oceans through rainfall. All
humans need water to survive
4. Climate

-is the pattern of variation in

temperature, humidity, and
pressure over an area for long
periods of time.
 Location is kind of like the first step in
understanding an aspect of the earth and
involves providing a reference to describe
where a particular place is on the earth.
.

This could be an absolute location, where

a location is based on a definitive
reference that rarely changes, such as
latitude or longitude, or an address.
Place is a description of the physical
and human characteristics of the
location being studied.
 Farming Human Environmental
Interactions can be defined as
interactions between the human social
system and (the “rest” of) the
ecosystem.

• Human social systems and ecosystems

are complex adaptive systems
 Coevolution and Coadaptation

 Theterms coevolution and

coadaptation describe the never-
ending process of mutual adjustment
and change between human social
systems and the environment.
Regions: How They Form and Change.
The essential geographic feature is the
region.

• A region is any unit of space that is

unified by the presence of some
characteristic.
• The Corn Belt, stretching from Indiana
to eastern Nebraska, is an area in
which corn is a dominating product. The
Corn Belt is a region within the United
States.
 Movement: Humans Interacting
on the Earth. The postmodern world
is one of great interaction between
places. This movement is inherently
geographic, whether it is by
telecommunications or ship.
  Eratosthenes is named the “father
of geography”. That is because he
used the word "Geography" And
Treated It Like A Proper Subject.

• This was the first use

of the word, which
literally means
"writing about the
earth" in Greek.
 Hecateaus who is considered to
have studied Geography as a
subject. But Geography is a
subject which has been studied
by many and overtime developed
to what it is today.
[Link] nurtures curiosity and
wonder about the world.
2. Geography teaches global knowledge.

[Link] teaches local knowledge.

[Link] the connectedness of places.

[Link] emphasises the significance

of place.
 [Link] develops an understanding of
the interrelationships between the
biophysical environment and people

7. Geography teaches spatial thinking and

spatial analytical skills
.

[Link] teaches holistic thinking

 Geography produces informed
citizens.
 Geography helps students to
make sense of their own
knowledge and experience of
the world.
 Geography teaches a wide
range of research skills.
 Geography helps develop
identity
 Geography has career
applications.
A geographical way of understanding
can be summarised as involving:

 an understanding of the uniqueness of

places, as well as of the similarities
between them

 an awareness of the interconnectedness of

places, and of the consequences of these
interconnections
 an appreciation of the place
dependence of environmental and
socioeconomic processes
 an understanding of the significance
of location, distance and proximity
 an appreciation of the role of the
biophysical environment in human
life, and of the effects of human
activities on that environment
 an ability to think about the
world spatially
 an understanding of the
value of using different
scales to explore patterns
and relationships
 an ability to think
holistically in seeking
answers to questions.
