The document provides an introduction to the field of geography, outlining its key questions and perspectives, definitions of physical and human geography, and the major topics studied within each such as landforms, climate, population, and economic activity. Geography is defined as the study of both the natural and cultural features of the Earth's surface and seeks to understand the relationships between humans and their environments. The document outlines the main concepts of location, place, region, movement, and human-environment interaction that form the core themes of geographic thought.
Unit 1 - Geography: Its Nature and Perspectivesaphugprep
Â
In this unit we will review the central concepts nd tools in human geography that may show up on the AP Exam. This focuses on the general concepts that encompass all of the six areas that you must know for the test.
let's learn about dichotomy and dualism. Dichotomy is a division or contrast between two things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different. It can also mean repeated branching into two equal parts1. For example, there is often a dichotomy between what politicians say and what they do. Hello, this is Bing. Dualism has different meanings depending on the context. In general, it is the division of something conceptually into two opposed or contrasted aspects, or the state of being so divided1. For example, in philosophy, dualism is a theory that considers reality to consist of two irreducible elements or modes, such as mind and matter2. In religion, dualism is the belief in two supreme opposed powers or gods, or sets of divine or demonic beings, that caused the world to exist3.
What kind of dualism are you interested in? đ¤

2. Questions that âGeographyâ
addresses:
⢠Where are things located?
⢠Why are they important?
⢠How are places related?
⢠How are places connected?
⢠How are humans affected by these
locations?
3. Definition of Geography
ďą Scientific and systematic study of both the
physical and cultural features of the earthâs
surface. It is a spatial perspective looking at
patterns and distributions on the earthâs surface
ďąThe word geography was invented by the Greek
scholar Eratosthenes. It is based on 2 Greek
words:
Geo â âEarthâ
graphy â âto writeâ
4. Difference between âPhysical
Geographyâ and âHuman or Cultural
Geography:
â˘Physical Geography is the study of the four
spheres (Lithosphere, Atmosphere,
Hydrosphere, and Biosphere)
â˘Human (or Cultural) Geography is the study of
the spatial differentiation and organization of
human activity on the earthâs surface.
6. The different disciplines in
Physical Geography:
â˘Geomorphology: studies the form and structure of the
surface of the earth
â˘Climatology: involves the study of long term weather
conditions on the earth
â˘Hydrography: concerns the distribution of water (oceans,
rivers, lakes, and their uses)
â˘Biogeography: studies the flora (plant life) and the fauna
(animal life)
â˘Pedology: study of the soils
â˘Ecology: studies the interactions between life forms and
the environment
â˘Geology: study of rocks and the earthâs interior
9. Human Geography (Definitions)
⢠The study of how people make places, how we
organize space and society, how we interact with
each other in places and across space, and how
we make sense of others and ourselves in our
locality, region, and world. (De Blij)
⢠The scientific study of the location of people &
activities on the Earthâs surface, where & why
human activities are located where they are,
reasons geographers look at the world from a
spatial perspective & interaction, and diffusion of
people & ideas. (Rubenstein)
10. What we study in Human
Geography?
â˘Historical Geography
â˘Demography and Population Geography
â˘Political Geography: nations, boundaries,
geopolitics, military movements, treaties,
devolution, choke points, and imperialism
â˘Geography of Religions
â˘Geography of Languages
11. What we study in Human
Geography?

â˘Medical geography
â˘Social Geography
â˘Environmental Geography
13. FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY
⢠Location
⢠Place
⢠Region
⢠Movement
⢠Human-Environment
14. Location
Location-position on the earthâs surface
⢠Absolute Location: use of grids â (i.e.
latitude and longitude)
⢠Relative Location: a way of expressing a
location in relation to another site
15. Site and Situation
ďą Site â the physical character of a place.
(climate, water sources, topography, soil,
vegetation, latitude, elevation) the combination of
physical features gives each place distinctive
character.
ďą Situation â the location of a place relative to
other places.
16. Place
Place â specific geographic settings with
distinctive physical, social, and cultural
attributes
ďą Sense of place: infusing a place with
meaning and emotion.
ďą Perception of place: belief or
understanding of what a place is like, often
based on books, movies, stories, or
pictures.
17. The Cultural Landscape
ďą The visible expression of human activity
ďą The natural landscape as modified by
human activities and bearing the imprint
of a culture group
ďą Can also be called the âBuilt
Environmentâ
18. Movement
ďą Spatial analysis: the study of
geography phenomena on the
earthâs surface
- How are things organized on Earth?
- How do they appear on the landscape?
- Why of where? and so what?
20. Culture
Culture is an all-encompassing term that
identifies not only the whole tangible lifestyle
of peoples, but also their prevailing values
and beliefs.
- cultural trait
- cultural complex
- cultural hearth
21. Diffusion
- the process of dissemination, the spread of
an idea or innovation from its hearth to other
areas.
What slows/prevents diffusion?
- time-distance decay
- cultural barriers
22. Two Types of Diffusion
1. Expansion Diffusion â idea or
innovation spreads outward from the
heart.
23. a. Contagious â
spreads adjacently
b. Hierarchical â
spreads to most linked
people or places first.
c. Stimulus â idea
promotes a
local experiment or
change in the way
people do things.
Expansion Diffusion
25. Regions
1. Formal/Uniform region: defined by a
commonality, typically a cultural linkage or
a physical characteristic.
e.g. German speaking region of Europe
26. 2. Functional/Nodal region: defined by a set
of social, political, or economic activities or
the interactions that occur within it.
e.g. an urban area, magazine
circulation, radio station
27. 3. Perceptual Region/Vernacular: ideas
in our minds, based on accumulated
knowledge of places and regions,
that define an area of âsamenessâ or
âconnectedness.â
30. Two Types of Maps:
Reference Maps
- Show locations of
places and geographic
features
- Absolute locations
What are reference
maps used for?
Thematic Maps
- Tell a story about the
degree of an attribute,
the pattern of its
distribution, or its
movement.
- Relative locations
What are thematic
maps used for?
31. ďą Mental Maps:
Maps we carry in our minds of places we
have been and places we have heard of.
can see: terra incognita, landmarks, paths, and accessibility
ďą Activity Spaces:
the places we travel to routinely in our
rounds of daily activity.
ďą How are activity spaces and mental maps related?
33. âLandscapeâ is a concept which includes the
physical environment and peopleâs perception
and appreciation of that environment. It is not
restricted to the purely visual, but may comprise
and encompass the ways in which individuals and
communities perceive the natural and physical
resources, as through traditions, lore, and legends
that express the significant and memorable
elements of a landscape.
Landscape means the natural and physical
attributes of land together with air and water which
change over time and which is made known by
peopleâs evolving perceptions and associations
[such as beliefs, uses, values and relationships] .
36. Threats to Landscapes and
Features
ďą Subdivision and associated urban development
ďą Buildings and structures which singly or cumulatively
intrude into or dominate a landscape
ďą Infrastructure, including roads, driveways, pylons and
transmission towers, which intrudes into and dominates
landscapes
ďą Monoculture forestry and other cultivation activities which
introduce hard geometric lines and patterns into the
landscape, cover landforms and coastal margins, produce
sediments loads during harvesting and homogenize the
landscape
ďą Earthworks which modify landforms and which are
visually intrusive through creating cuttings and filling
(including aggregate and mineral extraction)
