2. 2
In geography, regions are areas that are broadly divided by physical characteristics (physical geography),
human impact characteristics (human geography), and the interaction of humanity and the environment
(environmental geography). Geographic regions and sub-regions are mostly described by their imprecisely
defined, and sometimes transitory boundaries, except in human geography, where jurisdiction areas such
as national borders are defined in law.
Apart from the global continental regions, there are also hydrospheric and atmospheric regions that cover
the oceans, and discrete climates above the land and water masses of the planet. The land and water
global regions are divided into subregions geographically bounded by large geological features that
influence large-scale ecologies, such as plains and features.
As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many
branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms. For example, ecoregion is a
term used in environmental geography, cultural region in cultural geography, bioregion in biogeography,
and so on. The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography.

Natural environment means all living and non-living
things occuring natural, meaning not because of
human. The universe is natural, but often the term
"natural environment" only means nature on Earth.
The environment can also be called flora and fauna
Landscape units that function as natural systems
without human involvement, including plants, animals,
bricks, etc., as well as natural phenomena that occur
Natural universal sources and physical phenomena
that have no specific limitations such as air, water,
and climate, as well as energy, radiation, electrical
charges, and magnetism, which do not exist as a
result of human activity.

Climate change may refer to a change in average
weather conditions, or in the time variation of
weather within the context of longer-term average
conditions
The current warming trend is of particular
significance because most of it is extremely likely
(greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result
of human activity since the mid-20th century and
proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over
decades to millennia.
11. Global temperature rise
The planet's average surface
temperature has risen about 1.62
degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees
Celsius) since the late 19th century, a
change driven largely by increased
carbon dioxide and other human-
made emissions into the atmosphere
12. Warming oceans
The oceans have absorbed much of
this increased heat, with the top 700
meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean
showing warming of more than 0.4
degrees Fahrenheit since 1969
13. Decreased snow cover
Satellite observations reveal that the
amount of spring snow cover in the
Northern Hemisphere has decreased
over the past five decades and that
the snow is melting earlier
14. Sea level rise
Global sea level rose about 8 inches
in the last century. The rate in the
last two decades, however, is nearly
double that of the last century and is
accelerating slightly every year

16. The conditions in the air above
the earth such as wind, rain, or
temperature, especially at a
particular time over a particular
area
17. T h e s u b t r o p i c s a n d t r o p i c s
The subtropics are geographic and climate zones located roughly between the tropics at
latitude 23.5° (the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn) and temperate zones (normally
r e f e r r i n g t o l a t i t u d e s 3 5 . 5 – 6 6 . 5 ° ) n o r t h a n d s o u t h o f t h e E q u a t o r.
Subtropical climates are often characterized by warm to hot summers and cool to mild
winters with infrequent frost. Most subtropical climates fall into two basic types: humid
subtropical, where rainfall is often concentrated in the warmest months (for example
Brisbane, Queensland or Jacksonville, Florida), and dry-summer (or Mediterranean), where
seasonal rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months (for example Naples, Italy or Los
A n g e l e s , C a l i f o r n i a ) .
Subtropical climates can occur at high elevations within the tropics, such as in the southern
end of the Mexican Plateau and in Vietnam and Taiwan. Six climate classifications use the
term to help define the various temperature and precipitation regimes for the planet Earth.
18. Much of the equatorial belt within the tropical
climate zone experiences hot and humid
weather. There is abundant rainfall due to the
active vertical uplift or convection of air that
takes place there, and during certain periods,
thunderstorms can occur every day.
Nevertheless, this belt still receives
considerable sunshine, and with the
excessive rainfall, provides ideal growing
conditions for luxuriant vegetation. The
principal regions with a tropical climate are
the Amazon Basin in Brazil, the Congo Basin
in West Africa and Indonesia
19. A hazard is distinguished from
an extreme event and a disaster.
A natural hazard is an extreme
event that occurs naturally and
causes harm to humans and
environment
20. Natural resources are resources that exist without
actions of humankind
• Natural resources are usually either renewable
or non-renewable
• The former refer to those resources that can
renew themselves in time. These include living
resources like forests or non-living ones like
wind
• Non-renewable resources, as the name
implies, are those that can no longer be tapped
once the available stock at a site is exhausted.
Once we use them, there isn't any more
21. Religion is belief in a god or gods and
the activities that are connected with
this belief, such as praying or
worshipping in a building such as a
church or temple.
Examples for religions in the world
> Islam
> Hinduism
>Christianity
22. The study of the interrelationships
between people, place, and
environment, and how these vary
spatially and temporally across and
between locations .
includes :-
Languages
Religions
23. Political geography is concerned with the
study of both the spatially uneven outcomes
of political processes and the ways in which
political processes are themselves affected by
s p a t i a l s t r u c t u r e s .
political geography adopts a three-scale
structure with the study of the state at the
centre, the study of international relations and
t h e s t u d y o f l o c a l i t i e s b e l o w i t .
The primary concerns of the subdiscipline
can be summarized as the inter-relationships
between people, state, and territory

25. Economic geography is the study of
the location, distribution and spatial
organization of economic activities
across the world.
types of economis sector
→ Primarily sector
→ Secondary sector
→ Tertiary sector
→ Quaternary sector
26. An industry involved in the extraction and collection of natural
resources .
he primary sector is concerned with the extraction of raw materials.
It includes fishing, farming
The secondary sector of the economy includes industries that
produce a finished, usable product or are involved in construction
27. The Tertiary Sector is actually the service sector, which involves the
giving away direct services to its consumers. It supplies services
to the immediate consumers and the business houses and it includes
services related to retail, transportation, hotels, sales and much more
The Quaternary sector is an improved form of tertiary sector as it
involves the services related to the knowledge sector, which include
s the demand for the information- based services
example : scholars , researchs
