Today in class we were surprised by getting new seats which to be honest my seat is ok. I liked where I was sitting before better but I am not complaining about my seat now because I could be worse.
We also took some notes today which are down below.
- location can be identified in three ways
- A Toponym is the name given to a place on earth
- Names derived from people of prominence, religious affiliation, physical features, or origins of it's settlers
- Site is the physical character of a place
- Characteristics include climate, water sources, topography, soil, vegetation, latitude, and elevation
- Situation is the location of a place relative to other places
- Region is a unique area
- An area of earth defined by one or more distinctive characteristics is a region
- Most ofter applied at two scales
- 1) spanning political states
- 2) Constrained within one political state
- A region derives it's unified character through the cultural landscape- a combination of cultural, religious and physical features
