correct me if im wrong :p. all pictures were downloaded from google

2. GEOGRAPHY
It is the study of
places and the
relationships
between people and
their environments.
Seeks to understand
where things are
found, why they are
there, and how they
develop and change
over time.

3. GEOGRAPHERS
– Geographers explore both the
physical properties of Earth’s
surface and the human societies
spread across it. They also examine
how human culture interacts with the
natural environment, and the way
that locations and places can have
an impact on people.

4. GEOGRAPHIC
KNOWLEDGE

5. Chemists study where certain chemical elements, such
as gold or silver, can be found. Economists examine
which nations trade with other nations, and
what resources are exchanged. Philosophers analyze the
responsibility people have to take care of the Earth.

6. Holi is a festival celebrated
by Hindus around the world.
Holi marks the beginning of
spring, and is usually
celebrated at the end of
February or early March.
Participants in a Holi
festival often throw brightly
colored powder and scented
water at each other.

7. This map of London
was created by John
Snow in 1854.
London was
experiencing a
deadly cholera
epidemic, when Snow
tracked the cases
on this map. The
cholera cases are
highlighted in
black. Using this
map, Snow and other
scientists were
able to trace the
cholera outbreak to
a single infected
water pump.

8. Wheat, one of the
first crops to be
domesticated,
ripens in the sun.
Wheat, a variety of
grass, may have
been domesticated
by ancient farmers
in Mesopotamia as
long as 9000 BCE.

9. Dancers in La,
Papua New
Guinea,
participate in a
"sing-sing." A
sing-sing is a
traditional
gathering of
different
cultural groups
in Papua New
Guinea. Here,
dancers
celebrate at an
agricultural
show.

10. Geography was not just a subject that made colonialism
possible, however. It also helped people understand the
planet on which they lived. Not surprisingly, geography
became an important focus of study in schools and
universities.

11. Some matches of the 2010 World Cup were held in Durban, South Africa,
where this boy lives. Durban, a busy port city on South Africa's
northeast coast, has many of the same problems as other large urban
areas. Facilities to host the World Cup cost millions of dollars,
while residents like this boy still live in shacks on the outskirts of
the city

12. Cinque Terre is a
collection of five
towns on the coast
of the Ligurian
Sea, Italy.
"Cinque" means
"five" in Italian,
while "terre" means
"lands." Cinque
Terre is a UNESCO
World Heritage
Site, recognized
for its rustic
beauty

13. This image, from a 1375
atlas, shows the Italian
explorer and trader Marco
Polo traveling through
Asia. Marco Polo spent 24
years traveling from
Venice, his home town,
throughout the Middle
East, Mesopotamia, and as
far east as Beijing,
China, and Karakorum,
Mongolia. Karakorum was
the capital of the Mongol
Empire, and was where
Marco Polo met the
powerful Mongol leader
Kublai Khan

14. Two ducks rest
on a drum of
toxic gas in an
abandoned
swimming pool in
Bradenton,
Florida.
Migratory
species, such as
these ducks, can
carry pollutants
hundreds of
miles into new
ecosystems and
habitats.

15. Two Adelie penguins walk in front of the crumbing
wall of a glacier, near Durmont d'Urville Station,
Antarctica. Durmont d'Urville is a French research
station where scientists study life in the
Antarctic.

16. Exploration has long been an important part of geography. But
exploration no longer simply means going to places that have
not been visited before. It means documenting and trying to
explain the variations that exist across the surface of Earth,
as well as figuring out what those variations mean for the
future.

17. GLOBAL Processes
Act of processing a
visual stimulus
holistically

18. Relationship of geography to
global process

19. Studies of the geographic distribution of human
settlements have shown how economic forces and modes
of transport influence the location of towns and
cities. For example, geographic analysis has pointed
to the role of the U.S. Interstate Highway System
and the rapid growth of car ownership in creating a
boom in U.S. suburban growth after World War II. The
geographic perspective helped show where Americans
were moving, why they were moving there, and how
their new living places affected their lives, their
relationships with others, and their interactions
with the environment.

20. – Investigations of the geographic impact of
human activities have advanced understanding
of the role of humans in transforming the
surface of Earth, exposing the spatial extent
of threats such as water pollution by manmade
waste. For example, geographic study has
shown that a large mass of tiny pieces of
plastic currently floating in the Pacific
Ocean is approximately the size of Texas.
Satellite images and other geographic
technology identified the so-called “Great
Pacific Garbage Patch.”

21. Geographic
studies
comparing
physical
characteristics
of continents
on either side
of the Atlantic
Ocean, for
instance, gave
rise to the
idea that
Earth’s surface
is comprised of
large, slowly
moving plates—
plate
tectonics.

22. Danxia landforms like this one are unique to southern
China. Danxia landforms are made of red sandstone. The
sandstone has been worn away by millions of years of
erosion by water and wind. Danxia landforms include
cliffs, pillars, shallow caves, and even waterfalls

23. – These examples of different uses of the geographic
perspective help explain why geographic study and
research is important as we confront many 21st century
challenges, including environmental pollution,
poverty, hunger, and ethnic or political conflict.

24. Whether geography is thought of as a discipline or as
a basic feature of our world, developing an
understanding of the subject is important. Some grasp
of geography is essential as people seek to make
sense of the world and understand their place in
it. Thinking geographically helps people to be aware
of the connections among and between places and to
see how important events are shaped by where they
take place.
