The document discusses several topics related to geography including natural resources, human geography, natural hazards, and climate change. It defines natural resources as materials and components found in the environment that can be used. It also describes the main fields of study in human geography such as culture, development, economic, health, and political geography. The document then discusses natural hazards as natural phenomena that can negatively impact people or the environment. Finally, it defines climate change as a change in weather patterns over an extended period of time and lists some of the causes of climate change including human activities.

3.  Natural resources are resources that exist without actions of humankind. This
includes all valued characteristics such as magnetic , gravitational , and electrical
properties and forces . On earth it includes : sunlight , atmosphere , water , land
(includes all minerals) along with all vegetation and animal life that naturally
subsists upon or within the heretofore identified characteristics and substances.
 Particular areas such as the rainforest in Fatu-Hiva are often characterized by the
biodiversity and geodiversity existent in their ecosystems . Natural resources
may be further classifies in different ways . Natural resources are materials and
components (something that can be used) that can be found within the
environment.
NEXT

4.  There is much debate worldwide over natural resource allocations , this is
particularly true during periods of increasing scarcity and shortages
(depletion and overconsumption of resources) but also because the
exportation of natural resources is the basis for many economies
(particularly for developed countries).
 Some natural resources such as sunlight and air can be found
everywhere, and are known as ubiquitous resources . However , most
resources only occur in small sporadic areas , and are referred to as
localised resources.

6.  The natural environment encompasses all living
and non-living things occurring
naturally,meaning in this case not artificial.The
term is most often applied to the Earth or some
parts of Earth.
 This environment encompasses the interaction
of all living species,climate,weather,and natural
resources that affect human survival and
economic activity.The concept of the natural
environment can be distinguished as a
components.
NEXT

7.  - Complete ecological units that function as natural systems
without massive civilized human intervention,including all
vegetation,microorganisms,soil,rocks,atmosphere,and natural
phenomena that occur within their boundaries and their nature.
 - Universal nature resources and physical phenomena that
lack clear-cut boundaries,such as air,water,and climate, as well
as energy,radiation,electric charge,and magnetism,not
originating from civilized human activity.

9.  Human geography is the branch of social sciences
that deals with the study of people and their
communities, cultures, economies and interactions
with the environment by studying their relations
with and across space and place.
 Human geography attends to human patterns of
social interaction, as well as spatial level
interdependencies, and how they influence or affect
the earth's environment
NEXT

10. The primary fields of study in human geography focus around
the core fields of:
- Culture
Cultural geography is the study of cultural products and norms - their variation
across spaces and places, as well as their relations. It focuses on describing and
analyzing the ways language, religion, economy, government, and other cultural
phenomena vary or remain constant from one place to another and on explaining
how humans function spatially.
NEXT

11.  - Development
Development geography is the study of the Earth's geography with reference
to the standard of living and the quality of life of its human inhabitants, study
of the location, distribution and spatial organization of economic activities,
across the Earth. The subject matter investigated is strongly influenced by the
researcher's methodological approach.
 - Economic
 Economic geography examines relationships between human economic
systems, states, and other factors, and the biophysical environment.
NEXT

12.  - Health
Health geography is the application of geographical information,
perspectives, and methods to the study of health, disease, and health care.
Health geography deals with the spatial relations and patterns between
people and the environment. This is a sub-discipline of human geography,
researching how and why diseases are spread.

14.  Political geography is concerned with the study of both the spatially
uneven outcomes of political processes and the ways in which political
processes are themselves affected by spatial structures.
 Conventionally , for the purpose of analysis , political geography adopts a
three-scale structure with the study of the state at the centre , the study
of international relations (or geopolitics) above it, and the study of
localities below it.
 The primary concerns of the sub-discipline can be summarized as the
inter-relationships between people , state and territory
NEXT

15.  - Fields within politic geographic
Some of the fields within today's political geography include
but are not limited to the mapping and study of elections and
their results, the relationship between the government at the
federal, state and local level and its people, the marking of
political boundaries, and the relationships between nations
involved in international supranational political groupings such
as the European Union.
NEXT

16.  Modern political trends also have an impact on political
geography and in recent years sub-topics focused on these
trends have developed within political geography.
 This is known as critical political geography and includes
political geography focused on ideas related to feminist
groups and issues gay and lesbian as well as youth
communities.

18.  A natural hazard is a natural phenomenon that might have a negative
effect on people or the environment. Natural hazard events can be
grouped into two broad categories.
 Geophysical hazards encompass geological and meteorological
phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruption, wildfire, cyclonic
storms, flood, drought, and coastal erosion. Biological hazards can refer
to a diverse array of disease and infestation.

20.  Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather
patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time (i.e.,
decades to millions of years).
 Climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions, or
in the time variation of weather around longer-term average conditions
(i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events).
 Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in
solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions.
Certain human activities have been identified as primary causes of on
going climate change, often referred to as global warming.
NEXT

21.  - Causes
On the broadest scale, the rate at which energy is received from the Sun and
the rate at which it is lost to space determine the equilibrium temperature
and climate of Earth.
This energy is distributed around the globe by winds, ocean currents, and
other mechanisms to affect the climates of different regions.
NEXT

22.  Factors that can shape climate are called climate forcing or "forcing
mechanisms". These include processes such as variations in solar
radiation, variations in the Earth's orbit, variations in the albedo or
reflectivity of the continents, atmosphere, and oceans, mountain-
building and continental drift and changes in greenhouse gas
concentrations.
