GE 1300. LECTURE 1. INTRODUCTION. WHERE GEOGRAPHY HAS COME FROM Geography is an old discipline. Along with history, mathematics and philosophy and theology, geography has been around for thousands of years. As soon as ancient civilisations had developed writing and a bureaucratic organisation, they began expanding through conquest and trade. As these early states found themselves dealing with different regions and peoples, so they began to describe these places and then attempt to explain why these places and people were different. Travel and knowledge of other places developed over the last 5,000 years and prompted an ongoing interest in the world and a desire to map it for the sake of travel and security. These are the two core concepts that have always remained central to geography; the world and its places and the map. This concept was first coined into the word geography by the Greeks of Alexandria in about 300 BC, although Herodotus (485 to 425 BC) had already put historical events into geographical settings. Eratosthenes (276 - 194 BC) began the task of mapping the known world. From navigation and its associated mathematics, methods were developed to plot locations on the earth's surface. Eratosthenes calculated latitude from the stars and longitude by guesswork. Early mapmakers, explorers and navigators were pretty good with this guesswork, as early maps show, because it was not until accurate and reliable clocks were developed, only within the last 300 years that the calculation of longitude from the sun became precise.

Geography (GEOG) PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY 3 sh An introduction to the physical geographical elements of the world. The earth's principal spheres (atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere) are explored through time and space as they respond to change. Major areas of study are the water cycle and budget, global soil systems, natural vegetation zones, climatic regions, earth dynamics, and ecological energetics. GENERAL CLIMATOLOGY 3 sh The course provides an introduction to the basic fundamentals of general climatology The basic components of climate and weather are introduced. Climate classifications and their geographic distribution are carefully explained and mapped. The interactions of human and biotic activity with weather phenomena and climate types are identified, examined, and studied.

NIGERIA BACKGROUND INFORMATION Standard 5: Regions Used to Interpret the Complexity of Nigeria Introduction geographic processes . In this sense, it merely serves to outline the basic regional formations in Nigeria apart from the processes that created and are creating them. Other essays in this series will deal with issues of geographic process. Physical Regions As standard 7 illustrates, Nigeria is a country of physical contrasts. These contrasts can be illustrated through the definition of physical regions. These regions can vary in their level of detail and complexity. In general, however, Nigeria’s physical regions are closely related with latitude. Variables like precipitation, relative humidity, and vegetation type are all strongly correlated with north-south location. Let us examine some of Nigeria’s physical regions in a more detailed way. An important set of regions to begin with is climatic regions. Climatic regions are a good example of north to south variation. As standard 4 and 7 illustrate, precipitation is the key climatic variable in delimiting Nigeria’s regional climates. Precipitation is critical because temperature does not vary all that much throughout the country. In general annual rainfall decreases as one moves from southern Nigeria to northern Nigeria. In addition, rainfall in southern Nigeria tends to be quite substantial, often surpassing more than 60 to 80 inches per year. Thus, we can declare those areas where abundant rainfall is relatively evenly distributed throughout the year to have a tropical rain forest climate. Included within this region are the Niger Delta and the cities of Lagos and Port Harcourt. To the north of the rain forest climatic region is a large region of tropical savanna climate. This region is marked by three key differences from that of the rain forest climate. First, precipitation tends to be lower, averaging between 20 and 60 inches annually. Second, precipitation tends to be far more seasonal in nature. That is, precipitation is concentrated in a

Geography Syro-Mesopotamia relief and water use climate roads Back to Urkesh Overview Syro-Mesopotamia The geographical area that served as the stage on which the history of Syro-Mesopotamia unfolded was about the size of California (its outline is shown here in pink). The environment in which it developed is defined by a number of geographical factors that are here briefly described. The main factor are the two rivers, not so much because of the region contained "between" them (as the Greek term "Mesopotamia" implies), but because of the fertile plains on either side of their banks. Hence the ancient term "Land of the Four River Banks" which (arguably) may be considered as the Mesopotamian term for Mesopotamia. Back to top relief and water use The region where Urkesh is located is defined in the first place by mountain ranges and rivers. The Taurus and the Zagros form a vast arc that delimits to the north and the east what we also know as the “Fertile Crescent.” From them flow the two great rivers, the Euphrates and the Tigris, with their tributaries – of which the most important for us is the Khabur. The Mediterranean and the Gulf are known in the ancient texts as the Upper and the Lower Seas, viewed as upstream and downstream in relationship to the great rivers.

About the DfES Videoconferencing in the Classroom project Project News Schools and Museums supported by the Project Directory of ... Videoconference Lesson Providers Key stage 3 Geography teachers in the NW, SW, and SE of the UK for a project on the regional variations in climate. Paul Butler Key Stage 3 ICT Consultant writes: "The materials below have been produced to support the 'ICT Across the Curriculum' element of the Key Stage 3 National Strategy. The materials are intended to support Geography teachers in particular but also to offer ideas to teachers of other curriculum areas as to how they could add a videoconferencing element to their programme of study. It is envisaged that these materials would become a feature of a department's scheme of work - therefore becoming an annual teaching event rather than a 'one off'." Paul is happy to support schools in implementing these resources. Feel free to email him and arrange a videoconference meeting to discuss the downloadable resources and to plan for using these materials in your lessons. Paul's ISDN number is: 01226 388976.

BRAZIL - THE LAND Geography Topograghy Rivers Climate ... Mineral Resources GEOGRAPHY Brazil is the largest of the Latin American countries. Covering nearly half (47.3 percent) of the continent of South America, it occupies an area of 3,286,470 sq. miles (8,511,965 sq. km). It is the fifth largest country in the world after the Russian Federation, Canada, China, and the United States. The Equator passes through the north of the country near Macapá; the Tropic of Capricorn passes through the south near São Paulo. Brazil's greatest width, 2,684 miles (4,319.4 km), is almost the same as its greatest distance from north to south, 2,731 miles (4,394.7 km). Brazil has 10 neighbors: the Department of French Guiana and the countries of Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, and Colombia bound Brazil on the north. Uruguay and Argentina are on the south, and on the west are Paraguay, Bolivia, and Peru. Ecuador and Chile are the only two countries of continental South America that do not share a border with Brazil. The Atlantic Ocean extends along the entire eastern side of the country, giving it a coastline of 4,578 miles (7,367 km). Topo graphy The landscape of Brazil is dominated by two prominent features, the Amazon River with its surrounding lowland basin of 1,544,400 sq. miles (4.000,000 sq. km) and the Central Highlands, a plateau that rises southward from the great river. Most of the Central Highlands consists of a tableland varying in altitude from 984 to 1,640 feet (300 to 500 meters) above sea level, broken by a number of low mountain ranges and cut by deep valleys. The highlands ascend steeply in the east forming an escarpment, where several peaks attain an altitude of 8,202 feet (2,500 meters) or more, and then drop precipitously to a narrow Atlantic coastal plain. A network of high moun tain ranges runs from the south of the country to the northeast forming a continental divide between the Atlantic Ocean and the interior. Brazil's highest peak, Pico da Neblina, reaching 9,888 feet (3,014 meters), is in the north, close to the Venezuelan border.
