SOLUTION SET
◉ Human geography. Answer: Human Geography focuses on humans
and the cultures they create relative to their space. It encompasses
population geography, economics, and political geography and looks at
how people's activities relate to the environment politically, culturally,
historically, and socially.
◉ Physical geography. Answer: Physical Geography addresses Earth's
physical environment: water (hydrosphere), air (atmosphere), plants and
animals (biosphere), and land (lithosphere). Physical geographers study
land formation, water, weather, and climate (weather patterns,
specifically precipitation and temperature, over time), as well as more
specific topics such as geomorphology, biogeography, and
environmental geography.
◉ Biogeography. Answer: Study of past and present distribution of
organisms
◉ Geomorphology. Answer: Subdivision of Earth Science that studies
how the landforms on the planet's surface are created
◉ Biosphere. Answer: Plants and animals
,◉ Lithosphere. Answer: Land
◉ Hydrosphere. Answer: Water
◉ Atmosphere. Answer: Air
◉ Regional Geography. Answer: study of the ways unique combinations
of environmental and human factors produce territories with distinctive
landscapes and cultural attributes
◉ Topical/ Systematic Geography. Answer: Systematic studies of
climate, landforms, economics, and culture
◉ 6 essential elements of geography. Answer: 1. The World in Spatial
Terms
2. Places and Regions
3. Physical Systems
4. Human Systems
5. Environment and Society
6. The Uses of Geography
◉ Element one. Answer: The world in spatial terms
, ◉ The World in Spatial Terms. Answer: Geographers use tools such as
maps to study places on Earth's surface
◉ Element two. Answer: Places and regions
◉ Places and Regions 6EEG. Answer: Place describes physical
characteristics such as land forms, climate , and plant or animal life. It
might also describe human characteristics, including language and way
of life. Places can also be organized into regions. Regions are places
united by one or more characteristics.
◉ Element three. Answer: Physical systems
◉ Physical Systems. Answer: looks at environmental phenomena and
their interaction through ecosystems, renewable resources, and the water
cycle. Standards involving physical systems include: 1.the physical
processes that shape the patterns of Earth's surface; 2.the characteristics
and distribution of ecosystems on Earth's surface. A place's physical
characteristics comprise its natural environment and emanate from
geological, hydrological, atmospheric, and biological processes present
in that location. Some physical characteristics of a place include
mountains, rivers, beaches, topography, flora (plant life), fauna (animal
life), resources (trees, oil, petroleum, diamonds), landforms (rivers,
plateaus, plains), bodies of water, climate, soils, and natural vegetation.
◉ Element 4. Answer: human systems
