How Do We Know Where We Are ?
Maps tell us where the places on Earth are located . Maps tell you how far way something is from your location. One ways geoagerphers do this is by useing maps. Two common maps we see are eary maps and contemporary maps. The differanc between the two are that eary maps can only show the general location not spishpicly how long it will take you to get to point B. Contemporary maps can tell you the experance location of point B. Maps can tell you a whole range of information but none of it would be relivent without a proper scale used on the map. Scale tells us the minmization or maxamization done on the map based on real scale. Thanks to scale it alows us to detemin alot about a location, but every good thing comes with flaws. Often times scale gets comfused and the map is pointless. Another way to identify location is by useing longetude and ladetide. Longetude and lodetide are aranged angels on the world map, Useing these tools you will be able to locate anything on Earth's surface.The more morderen ways to find places on Earth are by useing GPS and GIS These tools are remotely operated Globe Positioning Network useing globel position and global data to improve the travaling expereance.

Why is Each Point on Earth Different?
Not all of Earth is exactlley the same.We have mountion regions and vased oceans. Everthing is based on site and situation. Site is the imedeate envierment of a place, while situaion is how a site interactes with the places arrand it. In termes of Los Banos down town would be our site, and situation is the that we are in the middel of Merced and Fresno. Three types of regions are Formal regions- regions that have things in common with one another(Los Banos). Funtinal regions- that are basedd off of interactions with other places(UK). The final region is Vascualr regions- these are locations we persive in our minds (Mexico ). But almost all regions have something in common, culture. I feel as if there are two forms of culture culture and tridtions you adopt and those you were born with.
Why are Different Places on Earth That are simaler?
There are many different places on Earth that have simaler goverment and cultuer structures so its not sprising when one of them changes there mind others start to qwesten theier system. This is way geoagerphers have to be vary careful of thiere work expecialy thiere aproche methiod to new ideas. They apply it to a greater poupulation and watch for patterens and change. Things change over time by diffusion it is all a matter of how qwuily it dose. It has been provion that people like to be around those who think like them. So the more alike you the greater your conections to the rest of the world. If your idea dosen't make up you lose conections in the networke of interconection.
Why are Some Human Actions not sustainable?
The 3 pillareis of sustainableity are,composed of a social calum, an economical calom and a an enviermental calum. Another thing we have to take under conciteration are the three abiotic physical systems. These syetems are there to make sure the natuer polution dosen't get out of hand in contexet to non living animals. Well something paticular we watch out for are biosphere interacts on our abiotic physical system. This watches out for the living things on Earth to identife poupulation incress and thing of that sort. In conclusion, to show you some Human actions lets look at the ecostyestem in southern Louisiana v.s Netherlands. The ecosytem in Netherland has been demalished and rebiult from the ground up the way they like it. Vary differant from Louisisana are barly touched by man. The way they perfure it.
