- - - - Natural Processes, such as the water cycle and the food-chain.
        Human Activities, such as the movement of people, the production and trade of goods and the flow of investment and money within and between different countries.
        
        This picture shows a slum in Bangladesh, the most densely populated country in the world. Bangladesh is home to 150 million people. Its coastal zone has a very low elevation above sea level, making it vulnerable to climate change.
  - - - Geographers need to take a look at different types of changes, why they have occurred, over what time they have occurred and what further changes may take place as a result.
  - - - Local – such as an inquiry into the daily visitors to a neighbourhood skate park, and whether its facilities meet the needs of visitors
        
        Regional – such as an inquiry into the types of visitors staying at campsites and tourist parks in Western Australia
        
        National – such as an inquiry into the yearly tourist numbers visiting national parks in Australia (such as Nambung National Park), including the impact these visitors have on our national parks and the way in which these parks are managed.
        
        International – such as an inquiry into animal poaching in national parks and wild game reserves in different countries across Africa
        
        Global – such as an inquiry into the use of all marine parks around the world and how well they protect endangered species.
  - - - we can protect our resources though, through three levels-
        Local- recycling of paper by individuals, schools and households.
        National- sustainable use of energy such as solar pannels, wind farms and hydroelectric power.
        International- efforts to protect endangered species around the world.

- - - - Physical Maps
        
        Physical maps show the locations and names of natural features of the Earth. These may include deserts, mountains, rivers, plains, oceans, reefs, volcanoes and lakes.
      - Politcal Maps
        
        Political maps show the locations and names of built features of the Earth. These may include country borders, state and territory borders, cities and towns.
      - Dot Distribution Maps
        
        Dot distribution maps use dots (or shapes) to represent (and sometimes compare) a range of different features. The dots show the location of the chosen feature. The size and colour of the dots on the map can show different characteristics of that feature.Dot distribution maps use dots (or shapes) to represent (and sometimes compare) a range of different features.

      - Flow Maps
        
        Flow maps show movement from one place to another. Arrows of different thicknesses or colours are used to show where different things such as people or goods are moving to and from, and to compare the numbers involved in the movement.
      - Choropleth Maps
        
        Choropleth Maps use different shades of the same colour to give a quick impression of the pattern formed by the data being shown. Darker shades show the highest values of the greatest amounts, or lighter shade show the lowest values of the least amounts.
      - Overlay Maps
        
        Overlay Maps show how features on the Earth's surface may be related to each other. To create an overlay map you first need to produce a base map showing one feature and then push a piece of tracing paper or plastic sheet over this base map showing the other feature you are investigating.
- - - - Tsunamis occur on costal areas, the most common area for tsunamis to be created is in the "Ring of Fire"
      - Factors that contribute to a possible disaster are underwater earthquakes, volcanoes, geysers, underwater landslides, and depth of the ocean
      - Factors that might prevent a possible disaster are making a barrier, having an Early Warning System, not making facilities near the shoreline, and having easier access to higher ground
        
        If a tsunami ever occurs, it is recommended that you get to higher ground an away from tall or weak buildings
- - - - Coastal landscapes are shaped by the natural forces of the wind and waves, the wind and the waves construct or erode the coastal landsccape, making its apearance cnstantly change
    - - Human landscapes are man made landscapes that can consist of roads, buildings and other structures
    - - Riverene landscapes are things like rivers, creeks, ponds and other small bodys of water, these bodys of water host ecosystems of small organisms, such as fish, frogs, and sigle cellular organisms
    - - Mountian landscape are formed by tectonic plates on the earth's surface
    - - Karst landscapes are underground caverns and caves, these ladscapes consist of stalegtites, stalegmites, caves.
    - - Desert landscapes are dry and inhabitable places,
        you can have cold deserts and hot deserts
