- Places can be divided and organised into spaces

- Geographers also investigate the ways that people use and change the space in which they live.]]> 2017-02-02 04:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151037057 dinal_amarasinghe https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151037059 - A place is a part of the Earth's surface that is identified and given meaning by people.

- Places can be natural (that is shaped by the environment and largely unchanged by humans), or built (that is, constructed by humans).

- They can be very large, like a whole continent, or small, like a corner of a library.]]> 2017-02-02 04:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151037059 dinal_amarasinghe https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151073812 - The concept of sustainability relates to the ongoing capacity of the Earth to maintain all life.

- Many of the world's resources (such as oil, coal and natural gases) are non-renewable.

- Other resources (such as wind, forests, solar and water) are renewable.]]> 2017-02-02 09:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151073812 dinal_amarasinghe https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151343831 - Geographers use this concept of interconnection to better understand the links between places and people

- Human activities such as the movement of people, the production and trade of goods, and the flow of money within and between different countries also link places and people.

- Being consumers in a global market place also means we are connected to many places via international trade.]]> 2017-02-03 03:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151343831 dinal_amarasinghe https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151344493 - In geographical terms, the key concept of environment means the living and non-living components and elements that make-up and area, and the ways they are organised into a system.

 - The world we live in is made up of many different environments.
- The study of different 

environment  helps geographers to better understand and appreciate natural processes.]]> 2017-02-03 03:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151344493 dinal_amarasinghe https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151346022 .- Earth is constantly changing. Some changes happen rapidly while others take millions of years and are almost undetectable.

- The concept of change is important to a geographer because it helps us to understand what is happening around us and to see the world as a dynamic place.

- Change can be the result of natural changes or the result of human activity.]]> 2017-02-03 04:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151346022 dinal_amarasinghe https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151642357 -  Geographers study things that take place on many different spatial levels - meaning from small areas to very large areas.

- The concept of scale is used to look for explanations and outcomes at different levels 

-  It may be necessary to use different scales when studying the same thing.]]> 2017-02-05 08:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dinal_amarasinghe/6vd5uagafcqq/wish/151642357
