A descriptive brief summary of Geography
The benefits of doing Geography
How water cycles and ocean currents work are all explained with geography these are important systems to monitor and predict in order to help lessen the impact of disasters. At the same time, these systems can be monitored for important resources to tap into it.
Given how global our modern marketplace is, it’s important to understand where countries and cultures are located relative to one another
Geographical knowledge intersects with other subjects such as Biology and can help to gain a better understanding of the ‘big picture’ in these topics.
Why do we live in the cities and places that we do? Studying Geography gives us a good idea of why towns and cities were established in certain locations and why some have flourished more than others.
Similarly, to the last point, why don’t we live in certain locations? An understanding of Geography lets us know which locations aren’t ideal for development as well as how best to develop or expand cities and towns.
Earth’s resources are finite and need to be managed in a responsible way. Geography informs us of how to sustainably utilise the resources that are available as well as help to improve the status of those that are in danger of running out.
Lastly, Geography can help us to be more conscious-minded about the world around us. Being a better global citizen means understanding others better and knowing the limitations of the Earth, both of which work toward making our planet a more liveable one.
