The Earth as a Rotating Planet. What is Geography- writing about the earth. 1. Much more than place names and locations. 2. The study of spatial variation. 3. How and Why things differ from place to place. On the surface of the earth. 4. How observable spatial patterns evolved through time. 5. Focus on the interaction of people and social groups with their environment 6. Geography is about space and the content of space. Geographers try to answer three questions

Different phenomena occurs with regards to them. Sometimes‚ weather and climate are classified as the same because it has referred to as a change in atmospheric condition. But‚ what is really a WEATHER and a CLIMATE? Weather and

Premier of Australia‚ Morris Iemma‚ Currently we are in a water crisis that is part of the millennium drought. This drought has been going on for some years now and last year was the driest year on record for most of Australia. This drought was partly caused by lack of rainfall. A shortage of water is one of the main issues in third world countries. If we do not do something about this we may revert to being somewhat like a developing country. Our county needs fresh water that is portable and easily

Introduction In this paper‚ I have selected water‚ one of the material cycles studied. It is not conceivable of life without water. Inquiry after inquiry to find another life on other planets is premised on the notion that if scientists can find signs of water on any planet in our universe‚ then there is the possibility of life‚ such as mars. a.What are the most considerable impacts you make? We know how the heat from the Sun leads to evaporation through rays on the oceans and seas. When water evaporates

Vocabulary: Climate-the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region‚ as temperature‚ air pressure‚ humidity‚ precipitation‚ sunshine‚ cloudiness‚ and winds‚ throughout the year‚ averaged over a series of years. (Dictionary.com) Climate Ratio-The climate ratio is used to describe how moist a climate is. It compares the precipitation (P) with the potential evapotranspiration (Ep) for a region.( http://www.kgbanswers.com) Climograph-a graphic representation of the relation

surroundings‚ their surroundings in this case being the drainage basin and therefore the storm hydrograph is affected. These physical factors would be factors such as Basin‚ Size Shape and Relief‚ types of precipitation‚ land use; they contribute to regulating the ways in which a river responds to precipitation. The size‚ shape and relief of the basin are very important controls. For instance if the basin is small it is most likely expected that the rainfall will reach the main channel more rapidly

grow by joining together to such a large size that they fall to the ground as rain or snow‚ or they evaporate and change back into water vapor. It is estimated that‚ on average‚ about one-half of all cloud material in precipitation systems eventually falls to the Earth as precipitation‚ while the other half re-evaporates back into water vapor. The smaller the drops in a cloud the brighter the tops appear (and the darker the bases). Smaller droplets scatter more sunlight‚ while large drops allow
