Document Summary
Geography exam 1 review: what is geography. Geography is a science that studies the relationships among natural systems, geographic areas, society, cultural activities, and the interdependence of all these over space: what is physical geography. The physical elements of geography; spatial analysis of physical components and natural processes that combine to form the environment: what is the inner core, outer core, mantle, asthenosphere, lithosphere, oceanic crust, and continental crust. Inner core: center of the earth, solid, most dense of the layer. Outer core: between the mantle and the inner core, molten/liquid. Mantle: between the core and the crust, largest layer, has 3 sublayers (lithosphere, asthenosphere, and lower mantle) Asthenosphere: jell-o , rocks loose shape and become like tar. Lithosphere: combination of the crust and upper rigid mantle, forms plate tectonics. Continental crust: less dense than oceanic crust: what are the different types of tectonic boundaries, and what are the characteristics associated of each.
