GEOG 1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Atmospheric Temperature, Human Geography
Document Summary
Movement : how people move and migrate. Human and earth relationships : how humans interact with and shape their environment. Patterns of land formations, air, water, and vegetation. Climate : the constant state of the atmosphere at a given place over time. Weather : day to day changes over a short term of time. Climate equals the average weather patterns of a location. Norms : patterns compromised from data taken over three decades. Indicators of climate change include : carbon dioxide levels, atmospheric temperature, sea level. Summary: within geography exists five themes, location, place, region, movement, and human and earth relationships. One form of geography, physical geography, deals with patterns of land formations, air, water, and vegetation within locations. Climate, another component of geographical science, deals with the consistent state of the atmosphere at a given place overtime, and includes a place"s variability and extremes.
