Document Summary
Geography: the study of the evolving character and organization of the earth"s surface. How, why and where human and natural activities occur and how they are interconnected. Regional geography: differentiating the earth"s surface into unique places.

Study characteristics that define a place and the connections between places. Systematic geography can divided into: human geography: deals with social, economic, and behavioural processes that differentiate places, physical geography- the atmospheric, terrestrial and marine environments on local, regional and global scales. Meteorology- the process that cause short term fluctuations in those properties of the atmosphere, basis of weather reports. Climatology- results of the process in terms of their variability in space and time (longer term pattern) Geomorphology- the science of earth surface processes and landforms. Geography of soils: distribution of soil types, properties and processes of soil formation.
