Geographers Geography
All geographers research about the world or an specific area. They use many types of maps and pictures to serve for their purposes. The maps help them explain and understand accurately about the physical features, culture and economies of an area.
The physical feature maps show about the features and terrains of an area such as rivers, mountains, hills, deserts and many different elevations. Each physical feature has a symbol to identify it. They also include climate, which is the conditions of weather. Climate differs from weather, in that weather only describes the short-term conditions in a given region. Climate show the amount of temperature, rainfall every year and direction of wind. Landforms, also known as terrains, affect climate by altering the wind and rate of evaporation, which can cause changes in the temperature, humidity and precipitation of a region.

Thematic is a map that shows information about a particular topic of theme. Thematic maps can provide specific properties about climate, political even human

    Geography is broken down into two main fields: physical geography and human geography, each field has further subdivisions as well. Physical geography focuses on the natural environment and how a region’s climate, topography, organisms, and natural processes interact. While human geographers study the processes and patterns that effect human society. Although the fields seem very different there are quite a few areas of overlap. Geographers often make connections between human culture and society and the effects that societal changes may have on the natural environment. For this reason geography has been called “the bridge between the human and the physical…

    Feedback: Without science and technology, the great majority of us would be dead, so we tend to be supporters of science. Although we know that science works, we’re never sure that it is completely right. Students so often discover things that professors missed, or that professors got wrong, that scientists would be silly to claim Truth. Comparing the TV ratings of the latest hit to the ratings of the latest science program on public broadcasting shows that many Americans are not fascinated by science, but the science-show ratings are above zero, so some people are fascinated by science. And hope as we might, it is unfortunately clear that not every scientist is sexy (just most of them are…).…

    To be a cartographer you must understand geography in a wide and deep range. You must also understand science, especially in the area of placing things in an absolute manner on earth, how to create a map or diagram, a bit of technology (just because of the way we live today), and anything having to do with detailed geographical information. Depending on what specific map they are constructing, cartographers are dedicated and reach a goal in a given amount of time. They deal with and speculate a variety of areas, including publishing, government, surveying, and conservation. A cartographer’s role varies from technical development to the design of bespoke maps.…

    Map and Cartography

    Cartographers have long ago developed maps for understanding the complexity of our environment. Whether it started for war or general education, cartography has developed over time in an astonishing way. While analysing the quote ‘Cartographers have strongly emphasised the visible, the tangible, the static, the physical and the historical values over the invisible, intangible, dynamic, human and futurist aspects of the world’ by Muehrke, I began to understand the graphic projections have a long history in creating visual representations. This essay will argue that cartography develops a better understanding of what is visible, tangible, static and physical. I will also discuss how historical mapping has changed and evolved to enable the mapping of the invisible, intangible and dynamic. The last paragraph will portray my personal view of cartography and how this statement relates to my emerging cartography philosophy.…

    A map is a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, and themes. Maps are among the oldest forms of graphical communication, and are the most effective and efficient means for transfer of geographical information. Different types of maps were developed independently in different cultures and times. For thousands of years these were used in many aspects of peoples’ lives: in navigation, education, trade and the military. Evolution of maps are slow, from cartography which is the drawings, to the 20th century maps which is the automated maps or the more advanced map, the 3D maps.…

    At our first location which was Creg Beach, Lahinch, Co.Clare we observed a diversion of the River Moy. With a compass, the direction of the diversion was determined and recorded. I then took a photo of the diversion and drew a sketch map of it. Further across the beach each student picked a stone at random from the beach surface, wiped it clean and placed it on a flat surface. A drop of hydrochloric acid was placed on each rock and each rock that reacted was counted and recorded as limestone and we observed the rocks that did not react with the HCL.…
