As a consequence of these complexities, thirty-four ecological subregions have been identified. The Coastal Region The Andean Highlands High-Altitude Adaptations The Amazonian Tropics ...

Its large surface is covered with thick vegetation. This territory has wide river flood beds. They are covered with rainwater and usually are swamped in summer. In these flood areas there are elevated sectors called "restingas", which always stand out on the Amazonian plain, even in times of the greatest swellings. There are numerous lagoons known as "cochas" and "tipishcas", surrounded by marshy areas with abundant grass vegetation. Numerous rivers cross Loreto's territory. All of these are a part of the Hydrographical Amazonian System. The majority of them are navigable. The main river crossing the department is the Amazon. It's numerous curves are always changing and sometimes make for a difficult journey. The width between banks of the Amazon sometimes measures a staggering 4 km.

Introduction to Geographic Information Systems The materials in this exercise have been modified from the originals prepared by Dr. Sonia Arbona and Shannon Crum, The Geographer's Craft Project ( http://www.Colorado.EDU/geography/gcraft/warmup/cholera/cholera_f.html The Research Problem Introduction to Medical Geography Medical geography uses the concepts and techniques of the discipline of geography to investigate health-related topics. One of the predominant concepts of geography as a science is that it examines relationships between peoples and their environments in holistic terms. In the particular subfield of medical geography the focus is upon those interactions that bear specifically upon human health within a variety of cultural systems and a diverse biosphere. Regarding geographic method, the main tool is spatial analysis. Where disease occurs is a matter of importance. The map on the right illustrates the spread of an influenza epidemic in Glasgow. Comparison of disease rates in different places may provide clues to causation or serve as a starting point for further investigation. Maps showing distributional patterns of health-related phenomena with their accompanying associative analyses bring insight and strategy for better public health. A famous example of an old partnership between geography and epidemiology is the work of Dr. John Snow in the middle of the 19th century, who backed up his hunch that cholera was spread by infected water supplies by making a map of victims in a part of 19th century London (shown at right). This was during the days when medical opinion ascribed the disease to 'miasmas' and other emanations from the swamps and mud of the Thames River. His map showed a cluster of cases centered on a public water pump. This spatial association was used to eliminate the source of infection. The causative agent of cholera

There are few places like it in the world: the Himilayas, the Alps and the Caucasus. This land mass shapes history and the future. Man is challenged to survive in this environment. The Andes rise 6,000 meter or 19,700 feet above sea level, separating the Pacific Ocean and the Amazon jungle basin. From the depths of the Peru-Chile trench just off the Peruvian coast to the Andean peaks is a difference in altitude of more than 40,000 feet within a distance of 50 miles. The chilly currents of the Pacific Ocean that flow out of the Peru-Chile Trench supercharges the coastal air with humidity, inhibiting rainfall. At most, a low, soupy overcasting covers the coast for six months a year. It makes Lima a depressing place. altiplano economy. The Andes comprise about a third of Peru's territory. The extreme variables of altitude, temperature, moisture, sun light and other factors make the Andes a highly risky environment. The highest peak is Nevado Huascaran at 6,768 meters above sea level.
