For example, climate can affect activities. I love riding bikes. When during the fall and winter seasons, rain, cold weather, and snow force me to put my bike away. Because I use biking as a source of exercise, I have to find others avenues to stay fit. I have interest in travel. Biking through mountains is something that I would enjoy. Looking at geographical features indicated on maps, I can choose unique, hilly destinations and access climate graphs to determine the right time of of year to travel to this location.

There are several reasons why Humans need to understand Geography.  Finding and moving to another country would be one reason. You might not know exactly where in that country you want to live but still have the intention of moving there. In that case Google maps or a mapping site would help with that decision. I personally do not know a lot about Geography. I started using resources, and more like, online food services, Gps, Google maps etc, which made me realise all these resouces took part in geography.

There are so many more places to visit as well, so many that it is hard to visit to in your lifetime, this is all geography, even knowing where you live when you look off a world map is also geography. I want to know where the tallest buildings of the world are, I wanna know the coldest city of the world and the warmest city of the world is, and I can learn all this just with Geography. That is why geography is really important.]]> 2021-10-26 17:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1845813810 s201117310 https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1845837658 Geography can help us understand the planet we live on. It talks about the environmental information about country's and states. It talks about the native people and where they lived and more about different types of people or animals. it helps us identify what flowers, gems or stones. Gems and stones are things that you need to know a lot about to identify what name is for any of those rocks. That explains why geography is useful in our everyday life .]]> 2021-10-26 17:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1845837658 https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1846001290 What is Geography? Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments.

But why is understanding geography important in our everyday lives?

Studying geography is important because it helps both kids and adults to have an awareness of places. Studying geography can help us study its history of any place, such as its physical and cultural characteristics. 

It can also help travelers explore places they have never been before. It is very useful to families who live in countries with bad environment and have wars all the time. The families can use maps to find some countries that are safe for them and their children. 

A connection I have with geography is I use maps to see what countries are good to travel and I do a little more research on it, since I am a huge fan of exploring to different countries. I also used maps to do projects in my old classes.

This is why studying geography is important to learn.]]> 2021-10-26 18:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1846001290 s300082677 https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1846077577 The Earth has millions of kilometers of vast land and billions of gallons of water which it manages and balances equally. How to know where the water and land is located and at what height and depth is called Geography. Geography is important because it can tell us about depth of water in a certain place and it can tell us at what height is the land which is next to the body of water. Geography can tell us about sea level rise which is going on due to climate change. It can tell us how deep an area is in the water like about islands. It can give awareness about how long it will take for an area to be submerged. That is why Geography is important.]]> 2021-10-26 19:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1846077577 s300032516 https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1846140058 Geography is important in our everyday lives because it helps us know where we are in the world, and it also helps us understand about climate change and plan for the future. Geography helps us on human environment and society and how there are differences in cultures, foods, practices due to the environment. Understanding Geography helps us to have awareness of a place. Geography is important so that we can understand the different lands, habitats and the diverse cultural and ecological interactions that the Earth provides us. Understanding geography can be an excellent start for someone who loves nature or exploring the many different environments that they want to learn more about. We need to understand geography in order to know where we are and how and why these places exist and how we can learn to interact with others in these places.]]> 2021-10-26 19:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1846140058 https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1846640620 There is more to geography than just looking at maps.Geography connects us to the world and each other. I like learning about geography because I want to know more about the different environments,ecosystems and places. To me geography encourages you to find the answers to your questions on your own like "where am I?" , "what environment
are you in"? etc.Geography links to all the different subjects as well,so no matter what path you chose you will also need geography. ]]> 2021-10-27 00:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1846640620 s201117703 https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1846859945 The houses we live in are impacted by the geography they stand on. For example, houses built on or near beaches will be structured differently than houses in towns like Whitby or Ajax. The geography impacts the conditions the houses will need to withstand. Many geographical aspects are thought about during construction. Buildings built on sand will need to be deeply rooted into the ground to be stable, and careful consideration will be put into simple things, like the thickness of the walls to protect from both hot and/or cold climates. The houses we live in impact our daily lives, and that is why understanding geography is important to our daily lives as well. ]]> 2021-10-27 02:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1846859945 https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1848328122 The way the Earth and everything in it works is just so fascinating. The weather, animals, plants - everything has their own designated jobs that keep life on Earth. This study is called Geography. Geography is very important because it helps us predict weather and natural disasters, helps us prepare for certain weathers, and helps us study how the Earth came to be and even, how it will become. Who could have thought India was originally a part of Africa if it wasn't for geography? These are just some ideas. Even if you don't intend on studying geography, you already know a lot because geography is everywhere.

It is filled with lovely landscapes,- vast oceans and tall mountains. It is a lively, wonderful natural world that we live in. Unfortunately it is this very world that human species seem to disregard and destroy little by little. The Earth is our future, our home, yet we continue to harm it’s very future. We need to be a part of the solution to ensure that the Earth continues living. Understanding Geography is one way we can help Earth.  Geography is a huge discipline.  Its studies explain the planet-,and its vulnerabilities. It teaches us the issues our planet is fighting and how we can help to prevent its further damage. Global warming, -climate change, pollution, deforestation, and species endangerment are just a few of the issues that understanding geography can help the earth with. We are the next generation who shape our Earth’s future. Understanding Geography is critical to our success.

It's flat, yet there are hills and mountains but at the same time it is round and rotates, while humans stand, walk and run without knowing it is moving.
Geography is very important because it helps us to understand the way the world and environment works, and how it can affect the way we survive. 
It is a mystery, the way plants and animals helps us and we also help them. We cannot survive without each other. The air we breathe, the water that is surrounding all land, the endless snow that is only on part of the planet? How? Why? What? So many questions, but as we get answers, we have more questions, a mystery but yet annoying that it cannot be solved.]]> 2021-10-27 18:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1849174418 s300005936 https://padlet.com/lynne_robinson1/xncyzlezm6o6xhpw/wish/1849179967 Geography is everywhere around us; it impacts our lives daily whether we recognize it or not! Think about this, if you wanna build a farm you must consider the geography around the area. Everyday people such as farmers for example really get that impact of learning about geography and this is why. Understanding the geography can help farmers get an idea where to build a farm. They would learn what land / land forms are suitable, and what great land quality looks like. For example, the land would be great if there is fresh soil, proper resources nearby, and flatland for both food products and animals. Adding on, people will also grow knowledge about climates; and that will help them with their farming. Knowing about the climates around the area would be beneficial so they know if where they place their farm is good for the products they will grow. So understanding geography and learning about the features part of it can impact everyday people, including you too! :)
