The document discusses maps and globes. It defines maps as graphical representations of the earth's surface that show locations, sizes, and other features. It outlines different types of maps like road maps, weather maps, and political maps. Globes are described as small scale models of the earth that accurately portray distances and proportions. Key elements of maps like titles, legends, and scales are also summarized.
The document discusses different ways of representing the Earth, including globes, maps, and coordinate systems. It explains that globes accurately portray the spherical shape of the Earth, while maps are flat representations that provide more detailed information. It also describes how latitude and longitude are used to precisely locate places on maps using lines of meridians and parallels that divide the Earth into hemispheres and time zones.
1. Cartography is the study and practice of making maps. Maps have been used for thousands of years to convey geographic information and are easily understood across languages and cultures.
2. QGIS can be used to create digital maps. The print composer in QGIS allows adding elements like the map frame, title, legend, scale bar and north arrow. Spatial data is needed in the map canvas to begin.
3. Elements can be positioned, scaled and styled within the composer. The map can then be exported as an image, SVG or PDF file. Proper map design involves following cartographic principles and standards.
In broad terms, cultural geography examines the cultural values, practices, discursive and material expressions and artefacts of people, the cultural diversity and plurality of society.
It also emphasizes on how cultures are distributed over space, how places and identities are produced, how people make sense of places and build senses of place, and how people produce and communicate knowledge and meaning.

Reaction to Tragedy of the commondby garett hardinNelyloves Yap
Overpopulation is causing many problems in the Philippines such as malnutrition, lack of resources, and environmental destruction. Many children do not have enough food or shelter due to large family sizes and lack of access to family planning. As the population increases, so does the demand for water and housing, leading to water shortages and deforestation as more trees are cut down. Deforestation is damaging the environment by reducing oxygen and habitats for animals. Hardin's tragedy of the commons warns that humanity must change behaviors to act for the good of society rather than just individual interests to avoid worsening overpopulation and its effects on the environment. Solutions are needed to control population growth and conserve resources to protect the environment.
Population geography is the study of human population distribution and dynamics across different regions. It examines how numbers, characteristics, and movement of people vary based on environmental and cultural factors in an area. G.T. Trewartha is considered the father of population geography for establishing it as a distinct subfield in the 1950s and proposing what topics it encompasses. Population geography analyzes absolute population sizes, qualities like age and sex ratios, and dynamics including fertility, mortality, and migration patterns. It also relates population trends to variables like resources, development levels, and government policies. As an interdisciplinary field, it interconnects with demography, sociology, economics, history and other social sciences.
The Spartan society was unique and focused on raising strong warriors devoted to serving the state. Spartan children belonged to the state and not their parents. They were examined at birth and those deemed weak were killed. Boys were taken from their mothers at age 7 and lived in barracks where they endured harsh discipline to build strength and loyalty to Sparta. Those who passed rigorous tests became full citizens and soldiers, while others became lower class. Spartan life centered around constant military training from childhood onward to defend Sparta.
The document defines and provides examples of various waterforms found in the Philippines, including brooks, springs, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, seas/oceans, bays, and gulfs. It specifically mentions the Pasig River, Taal Lake, Pagsanjan Falls, Philippine Sea, and Subic Bay. Hidden Valley Springs in Laguna is highlighted as a private resort area containing a 300 foot deep crater, virgin forest, and natural spring pools.
Early humans transitioned from hunter-gatherers to farmers during the Neolithic Age around 8000 BC. This Agricultural Revolution led people to settle down, grow crops, and domesticate animals. As a result, populations grew and societies developed with specialized jobs, trade between communities, and some establishing governments to protect resources. By 3000 BC, four major early civilizations emerged along river valleys in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China, sharing characteristics like centralized cities and social hierarchies.
The document summarizes the rise and organization of the Assyrian and Persian empires in the Middle East. It describes how the Assyrians developed a powerful military that allowed them to conquer a large empire through force. The Persians later adopted many of the Assyrians' innovations when they took over the region under the leadership of Cyrus the Great, who instituted a policy of tolerance and respect for local customs. The Persian Empire was highly organized into provinces governed by satraps and united through infrastructure like the Royal Road and a standard currency.
Synthetical geography uses analysis and synthesis to present a complete picture of any geographic problem by analyzing relationships between phenomena such as climate, soils, rainfall, habitats, and ways of life. It focuses on localization of phenomena and uses maps to locate places and study locations. Man appropriates land for his benefit, developing and using it for activities like farming, fishing, herding, manufacturing. Geography studies land use and the relations between phenomena in a given space.
This document provides an overview of geography as a field of study. It discusses geography's focus on the human habitat and its relation to the lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. Geography is defined as the study of the lands, features, inhabitants and phenomena of Earth. It incorporates aspects of natural science, social science and humanities. The document also describes methods in geography like observation, description, analysis and mapping. Natural resources are defined as material things on Earth that are not man-made, and geography studies their use and influence on development.
This document discusses different modes of water transportation. It describes ferries, which carry passengers and sometimes vehicles across bodies of water. There are many types of ferries including double-ended ferries, hydrofoils, hovercraft, catamarans, roll-on/roll-off ferries, and pontoon ferries. It also discusses boats, which are smaller watercraft, and ships, which are larger. Ships can be used to transport cargo or passengers. There are also specialized vessels like submarines which can operate independently underwater.
This document provides information about various modes of transportation including definitions, key aspects, advantages, and disadvantages. It discusses rail transportation, road transportation, water transportation, air transportation, and pipeline transportation. For each mode, it outlines important details such as infrastructure requirements, speed, costs, suitability for different cargo types, and risks. The overall document takes an analytical approach to comparing different transportation methods.
The document provides an overview of the geography and water resources of the Middle East region. It describes the various peninsulas, deserts, rivers including the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, and bodies of water including the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and Dead Sea. It discusses how the region's climate and lack of water has led to different irrigation techniques for agriculture and issues around water access, pollution, and conflicts over shared water resources among countries.
- A morphogenetic region is a region where the dominant geomorphic processes, under certain climatic conditions, contribute to distinctive landscape characteristics that contrast with other regions formed under different climates.
- The concept is based on the idea that each climate produces characteristic landforms through its influence on processes like weathering, erosion, and runoff.
- Morphogenetic regions are defined by identifying major climatic/zoogeographical regions and the diagnostic landforms within them that reflect the dominant geomorphic processes operating under those particular climatic conditions.
Land transport refers to the movement of people and goods via roads, rails, ropes or pipelines. It has several benefits such as facilitating transportation of raw materials and finished goods, enabling consumers access to goods from distant places, supporting large-scale and low-cost production, providing mobility for workers, and offering employment. Common modes of land transport include animal-driven vehicles, motorcycles, jeepneys, automobiles, trucks, and buses. Car rentals provide a flexible option for transportation when traveling.
Geography is the study of the Earth and its inhabitants. It has two main branches: physical geography, which studies the natural environment including landforms, climate, oceans, and resources; and human geography, which examines how humans impact and interact with the environment through population distribution, land use, and cultural practices. Geography draws from both natural sciences when studying the physical world, and social sciences when investigating human activities and settlements. It is a broad field that relates to many other areas of knowledge.

5. BSA - EXPLORERS
History of BSA – Exploring
Exploring began as a senior program in early Boy Scout
troops.
(These older boys carried out adventure activities, and gave
leadership to young Scouts).
1912 - Sea Scouting was founded for older Scouts
(Flourished as a program based on the traditions of the sea)
1928 - Sea Scout Paul Siple accompanied Cmdr. Richard
E. Byrd to the Antarctic
1935 - Senior Scouts were called Explorers for the first
time.
(Many were organized in separate Explorer crews in troops, using a
senior Scout program)
1938 - Mr. Waite Phillips, a Tulsa oilman, gave the Boy
Scouts of America 35,857 acres of northeast New
Mexico.
(Became the Philmont Scout Ranch and Explorer Base)
1942 - An Air Scout program for boys 15 and older was
created in cooperation with the United States Army
Air Corps.
(This cooperative program with the USAF has continued to this day,
although Air Scouting was discontinued in 1965).
1949 - National Executive Board put into effect a new
Explorer Program, which was unveiled on Jan 1,
1959.
(This new program included activities, methods, and recognitions
that were similar to, but separate from the Boy Scouts).
The new Aviation Explorer program
(Developed not just pilots, but aviation managers, trainers,
maintenance, and other aviation minded career areas).
1970’s - Military Exploring took a recognizable direction as
Posts were established in various units of the US
Armed Forces.
- Some Posts included Army Armor Posts training
young people on M-60 Patton tanks of the 49th
Armored Division, Texas National Guard.
- A Post with the Coast Guard Reserve: Training in
small boat rescue and safety enforcement at NAS
Dallas, TX.
- Another unit in Puerto Rico with the Coast Guard
Reserve assisted in Civil Defense training and
support with the American Red
(Other units spread throughout the United States flourished until the
Post Advisor was transferred or retired leaving the Post with no follow
up leadership).
1980’s - Aviation Posts struggled through the 1980’s as
liability issues in owning private aircraft pushed the
training program out of the BSA all together.
(After the Aviation Reform Act, many Posts sold, or distributed
their aircraft to other needy youth programs).
1990’s - Military Posts with the Air National Guard came into
the being with Crew-356 in Puerto Rico leading the
charge.
(This unit has been active in training young men and women about
possible military careers with much success. This unit is located at
Muniz ANGB at San Juan International Airport).
1999 - 396th ATRS activated to train young men and women in
military aviation with emphasis on pilot & navigator
training.
(Unit located at the HQ of the 161st ARW of the Arizona Air National
Guard at Sky Harbor International Airport, Phoenix, Arizona).
