Map element.
• what is the purpose of the map?
• are all the basic elements include
• What physical or human features are present
Cartographers Choice
• Well projection is used? what is the distorted?
• What colors and symbols are used? What might they imply
• What scale shows the data
• What is not shown on the map?
• What toponyms are shown on the map?
• Who might be the audience?
Data or historical context
• When was the map produced?
• OG source of data? Is it reliable. (Satellite view, field survey, census, imagination)
• What's the historical context for the map? How does this change the cartographers data

Geography introduction
=
Geography = the study of earths land, people and places
Geographers study Organize by place Historians study Organize by time
• where things/events happened • what happened
• why things/events happened in that place • why it happened
• How it affects the future
• Natural features (land,climate) and human
choices (culture, economy, politics)
• How can changes in one place affect there and other places
Special perspective = explaining human and physical patterns, and how they connect between
different elements
Geography's evolution
600 BCE 247 BCE
Babylonians made oldest map on clay tablet Eratosthenes = Greek writer, astronomer, poet
Babylon is center with "bitter river" around it Calculated earth circumference using…
• The suns angle at 2 cities
AXCE • Distance between cities
Pliny published a geoemetry encyclopedia included…
• descriptions
• and distances 14
• cities and landmarks Ptomley made a map including…
Coordinate system
1519 Died in Philippines 1714
Ferdinand Magellan = Portuguese navigator/explorer Clock kept time to accurate a ships
• led 1st travel around the world home port

environmental damage)

Earth, people, and environmental geography
Alexander Humboldt used science to study geography linking physical environments to
human activities
Founder of modern geography
Call Ritter promoted environmental determinism. His thoughts influenced early geography
Environmental determinism: thought that the earth (physical environment) shaped human
activities
Carl sauer highlighted that humans shape the environment by choices. Geography/patterns
differentiate by place, divided into physical, human, and environmental
Geography branches
Physical geography
physical Geography: studies natural features and processes(weather, land, food/plant, and disasters)
examines where and why they occur and there patterns
Earth system science: The study of how earth natural systems interact globally, and how natural
events appear in multiple regions '
Human geography
• where are human activities located?
Human geography: study of human activities on earth • why are they there?
and how there distributed
Subfields: areas that study specifics of human
activity (cultural, economic, political geography)
⑳
Human activity examples
• Cities, businesses, religions
• Research centers, population patterns
