🌍 Fundamentals of Geography
Physical Geography
Study the natural processes that shape the Earth's surface, including climate, weather, landforms, and natural hazards.
Weather = Atmospheric Conditions + Time + Place
Landforms = Erosion + Deposition + Tectonics
Human Geography
Explore how humans interact with and modify the environment, including population, culture, and economic activities.
Cultural Diffusion = Innovation + Time + Distance
Economic Activity = Resources + Technology + Labor
Environmental Systems
Investigate the complex interactions between natural and human systems, including ecosystems, climate change, and sustainability.
Climate Change = Greenhouse Gases + Temperature + Time
Sustainability = Environmental + Economic + Social
