Physical Geography

Cronulla is a beachside suburb in southern Sydney, it is located 34.0574° S, 151.1522° E which is 26 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD (see figure 2). It is governed by the Sutherland Shire Council. Cronulla’s coastal environment is on the Kurnell Peninsula, which is made up of a tombolo. A tombolo is a sand spit connecting a rocky outcrop or island to the mainland. So this forms a barrier between Botany Bay and Bate Bay. The two areas of study visited were Wanda Beach and the Greenhills Beach development.

The Five Themes of Geography are: Location – Absolute points on a map or grid or Relative to where something may be; Place – The physical and/or human characteristics of a locations; Human/Environment Interactions – How humans have impacted the landscape or environment; Relationship between places Movement – How humans interact on the earth (i.e. how they communicate over distance (short or long)) and Regions – a unit of space that has commonalities defined by physical, human and environmental geography. The Explorers of the New World may have not known what the Five Themes of Geography were but they quickly learned. Of the five themes the ones that they all took advantage of was the physical Location and Place as they learned to navigate

Temperatures can vary widely between regions (such as the mountains and valleys), and between seasons.

Assynt is a region in the south-west of Sutherland, a county in the Highlands of Scotland. It is characterised by water logged grasslands on much of the landscape, as well as large rocky mountains dominating the sky. To the east of the northern road, there is a zone of imbricates created by the sole thrust, indicating beginning of the Moine thrust complex. This sole thrust is also visible around the Skiag bridge area and also by Ardveck castle. The area has been of particular interest for geologists since the early 20th century, due to the wide range of rocks and processes that are present. For example, the ages of the rocks in the area vary from Lewisian Gneiss of Archean age, all the way up to the relatively recent Ordovician Durness limestone group, covering a vast portion of our planets history. The more recent formations are not found within the mapping area, and are more prominent in the east, and the Durness limestones have a much larger area of outcrops in the north, surrounding the village of Durness along the coast.

The climate is fairly dry in the alpine biome. The average precipitation in the alpine biome each year is 12 inches (30cm) each year. In summer the temperature is 40 to 60f (4.5 to 15.5c). While in winter the temperatures are below freezing.

C.A country likely constitutes a formal political region because within its boundaries certain conditions of nationality, law, and political tradition prevail.

Regions with mild temperature tend to have high population density, while regions with severe weather conditions tend to have a low population density.

The country I chose is different form Canada in so many ways. First of all, the physical geography of the country is different. In Canada there are 4 distinct different seasons, winter, spring, summer, and autumn, however in Ivory coast there is only 2 spring and summer. Yet, the physical differences do not stop there. The placement of these countries are also a major different, as Canada is in the North America, and Ivory Coast is in Africa. The continental difference also plays a big role in the culture. In Canada, our culture is not distinct as we take it from our European parents. While the Ivorians have French blood, most of their culture is African and not in fact French. Also, Canadians embracing in handshakes, while Ivorians are a

Middle America is a relatively vague term referring to the places lying in the middle of the Americas including Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and sometimes, Colombia, Venezuela and the Guianas. Middle America, amongst the southern Rocky Mountains and the northern tip of the Andes from the southern border of the US to the northern border of Colombia, marking the territorial conversion from North America to South America. The transformation between this designation and Central America is that Middle America includes Mexico occasionally it also includes the West Indies. The physical geography of South America is conquered by the Andes Highlands, which stretches towards the Pacific shoreline of the landmass. The Amazon Basin controls the

From an early age, I acquired a keen interest in geography. AN example of my love of the subject is when I visit Wales many times a year, every time becoming overwhelmed with the pure beauty of the landscape along with the physical and human processes that have interacted to make it the place it is presently. During my school years I studied geography, building up a foundation of knowledge. Along with this, my personal experiences with the natural world like hiking up dolgoch falls and visiting the centre of alternative technology (CAT) in Wales has given me a more insightful understanding of geography, engaging me with the desire and determination to learn more.

The last ten percent forms what is known as a chain of mountains. Switzerland is a slow home to many rivers and lakes. On the spectrum Switzerland has a high of about sixty five degrees fahrenheit in the summer. On the low side in winter Switzerland goes to about thirty degrees

Austria is a rather small country, but it doesn’t lack grace and power in its land features. Along with a comfortable climate, Austria has multitudes of alpine flora and fauna that attract people from around the world. This paper will describe Austrias physical geography, along with its issues with climate change and pollution.

Culture is everywhere, it is in everyone and everything; it is in what you see and what you hear; it is unique and evolving; it is what makes people who they are. These reasons are why it is vital that everyone understands that each culture is different from one another. Culture is simply the beliefs, traits, and social form of a social, racial, or religious group (Culture, n.d.). This paper will discuss the different Chinese cultures by region and the physical geography within those regions, climate and terrain analysis and the effects it has on the population and agriculture, and civil considerations from some of the different regions. Chinese culture itself is vast and diverse.

Maybe some people will think human geography has no relation between physical geography. But I think human geography has a great effect on physical geography, and physical geography has a great effect on human geography too.

Switzerland is divided into 26 cantons. There are German-speaking and French-speaking cantons, one Italian-speaking canton and cantons in which both German and French are spoken. In one canton (Graubünden) German, Italian and Rhaeto-Romanic (Rumantsch) are spoken.
