GEOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS

Every place has unique features distinguishing it from other places. Geographical features are categorized into two categories: physical features and human characteristics.

Physical characteristics represent the natural environment of the place. • Physical features - Topography and water bodies. • Weather and climate

Weather - how hot or cold it is, how dry a place is wet. Climate - many years of weather in one place

• Soil - the top layer of the Earth where plants can grow. Sand, silt and clay are the basic types of soil. The type of soil varies with location

• Vegetation - the life of plants. The type of vegetation varies depending on places, such as forests, grasslands, tundra, and deserts. Climate affects vegetation in one place

Human characteristics represent people in a certain place (past and present), their languages, religion, economic activities, political systems, population distribution, and changes to the environment. • Artificial function - people's land transformation

• Language - A way of communicating with words, symbols, symbols, or gestures that groups of people use and understands.

• Religion - faith in God and in God, and ways in which people express this faith and worship.

• Political regime - a way people develop and change power, authority, government structure

• Economic activity - show people how to make a living in one place. • Population Distribution - patterns of people living in the population

It's a place. For example, cities live in more people than rural residents. There are more people living near water than in very dry places

Regional geographers use a different approach to specialization to focus attention on the general geographical characteristics of the region. Regional geographers may focus on observation and documentation of African studies, people, countries, rivers, mountains, deserts, weather, trade and other attributes of the African continent. Zones can be defined in various ways. You can see climate zones, cultural areas or political zones. Regional geographers usually have physical or human geographical majors and regional majors.

A zone is a group of geographic information. A region is a geographic region defined by one or more different features. A region can be based on physical characteristics (such as watersheds), political boundaries (county, country or continent), culture or religion, or other categorized geographical areas. This field is formal, functional or emotional. Formal areas are also called homogeneous or uniform areas. Entities within a formal area share one or more common characteristics, such as country residents. The functional area is the area fixed by focus. For example, the customer service area of ​​the restaurant's delivery service, or the school district of the elementary school. Autonomous areas (also called popular areas or perceived areas) are geographical areas that exist as part of cultural or ethnic identity and therefore do not meet political or formal region boundaries.

Geospatial data is information that refers to places as a set of geographical coordinates. It determines the geographic location and characteristics of the natural and structural features and boundaries of the earth. It is a computer system for capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographic information systems (GIS), geospatial data, often in combination with non-static data. As the availability of geospatial data explosively increases, the use of GIS is rapidly increasing in various environments
