physical and human processes that differentiate places on Earth
and make them unique.In this way, geography provides a fundamental understanding of the spatial connections among human activities as they relate to the Earth’s physical landscape.

THE DISCIPLINE OF GEOGRAPHY Geography is concerned with the physical and human processes that differentiate places on Earth and make them unique. In this way, geography provides a fundamental understanding of the spatial connections among human activities
Слайд 2
THE DISCIPLINE OF GEOGRAPHY
Geography is concerned with the
In this way, geography provides a fundamental understanding of the spatial connections among human activities as they relate to the Earth’s physical landscape.
Слайд 3
THE DISCIPLINE OF GEOGRAPHY
Systematic geography is often divided
into two broad areas – human and physical geography.
Human geography deals with social, economic, and behavioral processes that differentiate places.
Physical geography covers the atmosphere, terrestrial and maritime environments on local, regional, and global scales.
Слайд 5
THE DISCIPLINE OF GEOGRAPHY
Meteorology deals primarily with the
processes that cause short-term fluctuations in those properties of
the atmosphere that form the basis of daily weather reports (Chapters 3 to 7).Climatology describes the results of these processes in terms of their variability in space and time (Chapters 8 to 10).
Geomorphology is the science of Earth surface processes and landforms (Chapters 11 to 18).
Слайд 6
THE DISCIPLINE OF GEOGRAPHY
Geography of soils includes the
study of the distribution of soil types and properties
and the processes of soil formation (Chapter 19).Biogeography is the study of the distribution of organisms and the processes that produce these spatial patterns (Chapters 20 and 21).
Слайд 7
THE DISCIPLINE OF GEOGRAPHY
Water resources encompasses the basic
study of location, distribution and movement of water (Chapters
15 and 16).
Слайд 8
THE DISCIPLINE OF GEOGRAPHY
An understanding of physical processes,
such as floods, earthquakes, and landslides, provides the background
for assessing the impact of natural hazards.
Слайд 10
Tools in Geography
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are spatial
databases that rely on computer analysis and manipulation to
display up-to-date spatial information (Chapter 2).
Слайд 11
Tools in Geography
A map is used to display
spatial information.
The art and science of map-making is called
cartography (Chapter 2).
Слайд 12
Tools in Geography
Another important technique for acquiring spatial
information is remote sensing, in which aircraft or spacecraft
provide images of the Earth’s surface (Chapter 3).
Слайд 13
Tools in Geography
Using mathematics and computers to model
geographic processes is a powerful approach to understanding both
natural and human phenomena.Statistics provide methods to analyze data to assess differences, trends, and patterns.

PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
Global
Climate Change
Over the past decade, many scientists have
come to the opinion that human activity has begun to change the Earth’s climate.
Слайд 17
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
Biodiversity
The diversity of Earth’s plants and animals which is
an immensely valuable resource (Chapters 21 and 22).
Слайд 18
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
Pollution
Unchecked human activity can cause environmental pollution in the
context of air and water (Chapters 4 and 15).
Слайд 20
PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
Extreme
events
Floods, fires, hurricanes, and earthquakes, have great and
long-lasting impacts on human and natural systems.

in physical geography are used to organize our accumulated
knowledge into realms which encompass the major components of the planet.Lithosphere

ORGANIZING INFORMATION IN PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
Systems in Physical Geography
A
systems approach emphasizes how and where matter and energy
flow in natural systems.
Слайд 28
ORGANIZING INFORMATION IN PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
Flow systems describe how
matter and energy move from one location to another
over time.Flow systems have a structure of interconnected pathways and require a power source (energy: kinetic, mechanical, heat, radiant, potential, stored, chemical).
Слайд 29
ORGANIZING INFORMATION IN PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
Open and Closed Flow
Systems
Flow systems have inputs and outputs.
Some flow systems are
open since they have inputs and outputs of energy and matter.Some flow systems are closed in which materials move endlessly in a series of interconnected paths or loops (hydrologic cycle).
Слайд 30
ORGANIZING INFORMATION IN PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
The hydrologic cycle, in
which water circulates between the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and
hydrosphere, is and example of a closed system in physical geography.
Слайд 32
ORGANIZING INFORMATION IN PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
Feedback and Equilibrium in
Flow Systems
Flow system feedback occurs when the flow in
one pathway acts either to reduce or increase the flow in another pathway.Flow system equilibrium refers to a steady condition in which the flow rates in a system’s various pathways do not change significantly.
