• What is Geography?

    Geography is the study of physical features of earth and its atmosphere. Geography is also studying human activity and show it afffects and is affected by earth and its atmosphere. Physical geographers research the formation of landforms, climates, plants and animlas. Cultural geogrpahers research religion, languages, and cities. Geogrpahers make new communities, tell where the highways and roads are built, figure out the emergency plans. There is always a change in climate or a new nation created. Geogrpahy is the world and we have to discover it.

  • What is geospatial technology?

    Geospatial technology involves a suite of computer-based approaches to manage relational databases, digital maps, data from global position systems, and overhead imagery to organize, display, and analyze spatial attribute data related to the environment, business, and etc. Geographic Inofrmation Systems (GSI) is a big part of it. The US federal government uses geospatial technology alot, along with the private sector and intenational institutions. 
    

  • Solar Energy, Seasons and the Atmosphere

    Solar energy is the energy produced by the sun. It is both light and heat. It helps account for the majority of the renewable energy on earth. Humans use solar energy in many different ways which include space heating and cooling, the production of potable water by distillation, disinfection, lighting, hot water, and cooking. Solar technologies can be either passive or active depending on the way the energy is captured, converted, and distributed. 
    The seasons are determined by when the Earth goes around its orbit the Northern hemisphere is at various times oriented more toward and more away from the Sun, and likewise for the Southern hemisphere. Which means that in summer the sun is futher away and in the winter the sun is closer in the northern hemisphere and its just the same but oppisite seasons in the southern hemisphere. 
    The atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding earth that is retained by earth's gravity. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night (the diurnal temperature variation).
