Physical geography looks at the ordinary course of the Earth, such as weather and plate tectonics. Human geography looks at the impact and behavior of people and how they relate to the physical world. Location Pinpoints different positions, people, places and locations on the earth surface. Absolute location -vs- relative location For example: Turkey is absolute between 36 degrees and 42 degrees north latitude and between 26 degrees and 45 degrees east longitude. The relative location of…

Located in southwestern British Columbia, Lower Fraser Valley extends from Delta to Hope and has a marine climate with moderate temperatures, long frost-free period and high average rainfall. The Lower Fraser Valley with rich and high quality soils contributes up to 62% of BC’s gross farm receipts and the agriculture land price has sharp increased to $4,113/acre (BC Agriculture of Food & Climate Action Initiative, 2015; Climate Action Initiative, 2015). However, agriculture contributes to 3.3%…

within the wetland, and an assessment of the impact on the wetland of land-cover types present within the wetland's upslope catchment. The overall score is worked by using a weighted score of combined o impact scores derived from the scores for Hydrology, Geomorphology, Water quality and Vegetation, this score is weighted as 3:2:2:2,…

went with our gut and chose iris as the answer. The following station was paleontology which was interesting because it taught me something that I didn’t know. I was informed that the Indigenous Forest formed 10,000 years ago. The next station was hydrology which was extremely informational. The informed me that the Upper Floridan Aquifer is of the very important sources of water in South Georgia. I also learned that…

Land, according to Rossiter (1996), is defined as the area of the earth’s surface characterised by atmosphere, soil, underlying geology, hydrology and the biotic components such as plants and animals. These attributes bring into play a significant influence on the present and future uses of the land by us humans. The turned focus to land for the sourcing out of food, extraction of natural resources and as a source of income for individuals, has been a norm for years. Decisions on land use have…

Merriam Webster defines confines as “something (as borders or walls) that encloses” which is relatable to the role the environment has pertaining to the earth. The confines of the fine being the earth that we inhabit would be measured by the bio capacity of earth. Our current bio capacity is exuberant for what earth can take as it would take 1.5 Earth’s to sustain the current population of the earth (worldpopulationhistory.org). The living of humans beyond these confines derives the job of an…

Many countries are making efforts to restore mangrove habitats by replanting sapling mangroves or even build up new habitats with appropriate conditions of soil texture, salinity, and hydrology that more suitable for mangroves to growth. Thousands of hectares of mangroves have been successfully replanted, for instance in the USA, the Philippines, Thailand, Panama, Kuwait, and Pakistan, according to Hogarth (2007). The emergency of protect…

SUMMARY Land Use & land cover change processes occurs at the interface between human and environmental systems interacting with both of these systems and with each other by feedback. However, there are other systems involved in these interactions to include natural and socioeconomic changes. As such land management decisions must have a balance between optimizing the various opportunities and the challenges imposed by various external factors. This proves that land-use and landscape change…

Aim: to determine the average amount of Jacaranda mimosifiolia leaves damaged on the adaxial side of the leaf. Research question: which side of the J. mimosifiolia leaf has the most damage? Hypothesis: it was expected that the adaxial side of the J. mimosifiolia leaf would have the most damage. The Jacaranda mimosifiolia originates from southern Bolivia and north-western Argentina (Mosomane, 2007) it belongs to the family Bignoniaceae and is a deciduous subtropical tree. It was introduced to…
