A Major In Geography Physical Geography Option BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The Physical Geography option is a 42-43 credit hour track for those wishing to pursue a rigorous training specializing in the earth science side of modern geography. . Students are required to take 15-16 hours from the geography core courses : these are Geography 101 (Geography of Developing Countries), Geography 102 (Weather and Climate), Geography 103 (Earth’s Physical Systems), Geography 104 (Social and Cultural Geography), and Geography 271 (Spatial Analysis). They may select any three from Geog 101, Geog 102, Geog 103, and Geog 104, but must take Geog 271 (Spatial Analysis); they are also strongly encouraged to take Geography 373 (Cartography). Selection from these courses will ensure that students experience a broad-based introduction to the principal thematic issues in modern geography (including topics from the ‘other [human]’ side of the discipline), as well as providing them with instruction in contemporary methodological approaches within the discipline. Thereafter, students must select a further 15 credit hours in geography drawn from the following courses (6 hours of which must be taken at the 300 level): Geography 210, 214, 273, 277, 290, 291, 303, 304, 305, 306, 315, 341, 367, 368, 370, 371, 373, 377, 378, 379.

Geography From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Physical map of the Earth ( Medium Large 2 MB Geography portal Geography is the scientific study of the locational and spatial variation of both physical, biological and human phenomena on Earth . The word derives from the Greek words or ("Earth") and ("to describe" and "to write,"). Wikimedia Commons has more media related to: Geography Geographers not only investigate what is where on Earth but also why it is there and not somewhere else. They then find whether these "locations in space" are the result of natural or human causes and what their consequences are for people. Geography is much more than its branch cartography , the study of maps , to which it is often equated and is far more than just the observation of various landforms. As William Hughes put it in an address in 1863: "Mere place names are not geography. To know by heart a whole gazeteer full of them would not, in itself, constitute anyone a geographer. Geography has higher aims than this: it seeks to classify phenomena (alike of the natural and of the political world insofar as it treats of the latter) to compare, to generalise, to ascend from effects to causes and in doing so to trace out the great laws of nature and to mark their influence upon man. In a word, geography is a science, a thing not of mere names, but of argument and reason, of cause and effect."

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY STANDARDS Excerpts from Geography for Life Physical and human phenomena are spatially distributed over the Earth's surface. The goal of the national standards is a geographically informed person (1) who sees meaning in the arrangement of things in space; (2) who sees relations between people, place, and environments; (3) who uses geographic skills; and (4) who applies spatial and ecological perspectives to life situations. The World in Spatial Terms Geography studies the relationships between people, places, and environments by mapping information about them into a spatial context. The geographically informed person knows and understands: How to use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective How to use mental maps to organize information about people, places, and environments in a spatial context. How to analyze the spatial organization of people, places and environments on the Earth's surface Places and Regions The identities and lives of individuals and peoples are rooted in particular places and the human constructs called regions.

HOME Arts Health Language Arts ... Glossary Alaska Standards and Key Elements for Geography The Alaska Geography Standards were modeled after the national geography standards, Geography for Life (1994). The state and national standards share a common vision, as expressed in the Geography Education Standards Projectís publication: The . . . Standards aim to create a geographically informed person: someone who understands that geography is the study of people, places, and environments from a spatial perspective, someone who appreciates the interdependent worlds in which we all live. The study of geography has practical value through the application of a spatial view to life situations ( Geography for Life: National Geography Standards Alaska teachers and administrators will find the above-noted publication invaluable in describing the standards, age-appropriate activities, and indicators of mastery at the elementary, junior high, and senior high levels. The Alaska Geography Standards also derive from the five themes of geography which have focused classroom inquiry since the publication of Guidelines for Geographic Education: K-12 (1984). The themes ñlocation, place, human/environmental interactions, movement, and region ñremain central to the Alaska Standards, though reorganized under six standards.

(Save Our Soil)" This unit uses the issue of soil erosion and its effects on a community in the highlands of Ecuador to make geography come alive for 5th and 6th graders. Creative activities, like creating a soil mountain to discover the benefits of terracing, and using topographical and relief maps to interpret farming techniques, help students learn about humanity's relationship to the land. They also learn about the socioeconomic relationship between land and wealth, and why marginalized groups usually end up with the worst land. Finally, the unit explores the unique area of land called the páramo, and what people who live there can do for soil erosion prevention. Lesson One: Erosion Mountain Students create a soil mountain and compare the erosive impact of water on terraced and non-terraced hillsides. Geography Standards: Apply geography to interpret the present and plan for the future. Solve social and environmental problems by making geographically informed decisions.

The world of geography is a very encompassing subject. Besides geography, when looking at the standards below, try to relate them to other subject areas as well. STATE GOAL 17: Understand world geography and the effects of geography on society, with an emphasis on the United States. The need for geographic literacy has never been greater or more obvious than in today's tightly interrelated world. Students must understand the world's physical features, how they blend with social systems and how they affect economies, politics and human interaction. Isolated geographic facts are not enough. To grasp geography and its effect on individuals and societies, students must know the broad concepts of spatial patterns, mapping, population and physical systems (land, air, water). The combination of geographic facts and broad concepts provides a deeper understanding of geography and its effects on individuals and societies. Learning Standard Locate, describe and explain places, regions and features on the Earth.
