Today's Notes

October 3rd, 2018

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
All in all I am pretty happy with my seat and today's class was pretty interesting.
