Geography

Hokkaido is located in the northernmost part of Japan, while Kyushu is in the southernmost part. This difference in latitude leads to variations in climate, with Hokkaido experiencing colder temperatures due to its proximity to the Arctic region. Additionally, the ocean currents and topography play a role in shaping the distinct climates of these two regions.

The Earth's crust is separated into different plates. These plate move causing plate tectonics, which is the movement of Earth's crust. Also, the plates have boundaries at the end of each plate.

There are three types of plate boundaries...

1. Divergent- where two plates are moving away from each other forming a gap in the crust in which magma rises and hardens forming new crust.

2. Convergent- Where two plates are coming into one another and one is forced down into the mantle.

3. Transform- Where no crust is destroyed/created because the two plates just slide past each other.

Perceptual mapping is a visual representation of how consumers perceive brands or products based on specific attributes. It helps marketers understand the competitive landscape, identify opportunities for positioning, and track changes in consumer preferences. By plotting brands or products on a map based on consumer perceptions, businesses can make informed decisions about their marketing strategies.

The three states located in the interior plain region of the United States are North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. These states are known for their flat topography and agricultural landscapes.

The rocks in Death Valley move across the Racetrack Playa surface in a mysterious manner, leaving trails behind them. It is believed that a combination of wind and thin sheets of ice allows the rocks to slide across the playa, leaving behind their distinctive trails in the mud.

Mille Lacs Kathio State Park covers 11,621 acres.

Do you mean to ask what percentage of new built homes are allocated to the local community?

The Snowdonia National Park Authority (SNPA) has planning powers (for now) which it is abusing in an attempt to ensure that 100% of all new built homes are for locals only, the problem is who pays for them, there is no public money and without market housing this policy is doomed to failure. The SNPA has a new developemnt plan which is undergoing Examination and there are several meetings during October and November 2010. The outcome of these meeting and the Inpsetor's decisions (which are binding upon the SNPA) will be key to a common sense approach to housing delivery which has suffered from decades of nationalist "policy on the hoof" which is designed to preclude all incomers, contrary to EU law.

Essential elements are those which are important to make something and themes are naturally present in every thing so those important things that makes geography they are essential elements of geography and the the background present naturally in the geography is called themes of geography.

Rich countries can experience significant economic losses from flooding, including damage to infrastructure, buildings, and agriculture. Flooding can also disrupt supply chains and lead to revenue losses for businesses. Additionally, the costs of rebuilding and repairing damaged areas can strain government resources and impact long-term economic growth.

Physical geography is a branch of geography that studies natural features and processes of the Earth, such as landforms, climate, ecosystems, and water systems. It focuses on understanding the physical environment and how it shapes the Earth's surface.

If you agree that geography can be defined in these three ways: Physical , Environmental and Economical, then a different language must be used to describe each.

For example, landforms may not have a place in economical geography.

The five themes of geography and the six essential elements of geography both provide frameworks for understanding the spatial aspects of the world. They help in analyzing and interpreting geographic phenomena by focusing on various aspects such as location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and region. These frameworks are used to study the interconnectedness of different factors that shape the Earth's surface and human activities.

Earth location points are given in Degrees Longitude and Degrees Latitude

Traditionally they are expressed in Degrees, minutes, seconds,

1 degree = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

>

Conversion Example:

15 Degrees 25 minutes = 15 + 25/60 degrees

= 15.4167 degrees (decimal)

15 degrees 25 minutes 10 seconds = 15 + 25/60 + 10/3600 degrees

= 15.4194 degrees (decimal)

Ice ages are periods of extensive glacial activity, impacting Earth's climate and geography by advancing and retreating ice sheets. During ice ages, glaciers can reshape landscapes, carve valleys, and deposit sediments, influencing the physical geography of regions they cover. Additionally, ice ages can cause sea levels to drop as water is stored in glaciers, exposing new land bridges and altering coastlines.

When you draw both lines they cross at the location you are looking for.

========================

By taking a ruler and making one measurement up from the floor and one

measurement from the corner of the room, you can come up with two numbers

that exactly describe the location of any point on the entire wall.

By doing exactly the same thing on the globe, you can come up with two numbers

that exactly describe the location of any point on the entire Earth. You just have to

know where each measurement starts from. And the rulers are printed right there

on the globe for you.

Some of the geographic features that have served as natural barriers that limited contact between cultures include oceans, deserts, mountains, and dense forests. These physical barriers made it challenging for people to travel easily and interact with neighboring cultures, leading to more isolation and the development of distinct cultural identities.

Environmental geography is a branch of geography that studies the interaction between human societies and their natural environment. It examines how human activities impact the environment, such as through deforestation, urbanization, and pollution, and seeks to understand the relationships between people and their surroundings. Environmental geographers often work to develop sustainable solutions to environmental challenges.

In Galway, Ireland, the sun typically sets in the west over Galway Bay. Depending on your specific location within Galway, you may have a slightly different perspective on the sunset, but most areas will have views of the sun setting in the west.

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) has been replaced with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as the primary time standard for regulating clocks and time. While they are very close in practice, UTC is more precise and takes leap seconds into account to ensure consistency with the Earth's rotation.

depending on the type of fish, the fish will migrate due to unfriendly climate changes, therefore the fishing industry will suffer a loss due to lack of fish. some fish will migrate to warm waters, so as soon as the temperature drops in a certain area, the fish will migrate to a warmer area. and vice versa

No, Mars is not a country. Mars is a planet in our solar system, located after Earth. It is a rocky planet that has been the subject of scientific exploration and research.

Dry climax is a stage in habitat succession where plant species dominate an area but do not reach their full potential due to limiting factors such as soil nutrients, water availability, or disturbances. This leads to a relatively stable community that remains in a certain state without further significant changes.

There were many factors that went in to determining the shape of South Dakota.

The original Dakota Territory, formed in 1861, was formed by the area that was leftover when Minnesota became a state. The 1861 Dakota Territory also included most of present-day Montana and Wyoming.

As new territories were formed, land was split off and added to the Dakota Territory so that, in 1868, the final Dakota Territory was formed.

In 1889, the Dakota Territory was again split and formed two states, North Dakota and South Dakota. In an attempt to make the states a similar size, the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas were all created by the US Congress to have approximately 3 degrees of latitude (about 207 miles in height). The Enabling Act of February 22, 1889 stated that the Dakota Territory "be divided on the line of the seventh standard parallel produced due west to the western boundary of said Territory" (45°50′N).

Landforms were also a factor in forming South Dakota's border. The Missouri River forms a portion of the southeast corner of South Dakota. Lake Traverse, the Bois de Sioux River, and Big Stone Lake form a portion of South Dakota's eastern border with Minnesota.

The states that touch the 155th meridian of west longitude are California, Nevada, Idaho, and Montana.
