    I learned more than I anticipated while studying the Introduction to Geography. There are Four Geographic Traditions; Earth Science Tradition, Culture-Environment Tradition, Location Tradition and Area Analysis Tradition. The Earth Science Tradition covers physical geography such as landforms, natural resources, weather and climate. I found the text on natural resources to be very helpful, informative and important for our current economy. The Culture-Environment Tradition discusses population geography, spatial interaction and culture geography. During one of the class discussions about population I learned that in just 22 hours the world population increased by more than 233,000 people. The Location Tradition goes over economic geography, human impact on the environment and an urban world. While reading about the human impact on the environment I learned about the Great Garbage Patches and their impact on the wildlife. The Area Analysis Tradition covers the regional concept, discussing the nature of regions and how they apply to the traditions of geography.…
