- - - - Part of the Earths surface identified and given meaning to by people.
      - Can be very large like whole continents or small.
      - Can be natural, shaped by the environment and unchanged by humans, or built by humans.
    - - The way that things are arranged on the earths surface.
      - The ways people use and change the spaces in which they live in.
    - - The living and non-living components that make up and area.

      - Natural or Physical
    - - all environments, every living and non-living thing is connected
      - a small change in one area can make a large change in another area.
      - used to better understand how everything is linked.
      - there are local/global connections
      - links can affect the way people live.
      - natural processes link places and people.
    - - Relates to the ongoing capacity of the earth to maintain all life.
      - Developing ways to ensure the Earths resources can be used and managed responsibly for future generations and meets the needs of the current generation.
    - - The Earth is constantly changing.
        
        can occur rapidly or slowly.
      - Helps us understand what is happening around us.
        
        Changes in both time and space.
      - Develop, transform, disappear.
    - - Guides geographical inquires
      - From small areas to very large areas.
- - - - Die
    - - Cut down trees
      - Drive cars
      - use single-use plastic
      - throw rubbish in the ocean/large water ways
      - overfishing, over farming and over hunting
    - - To provide for the growing population.
  - - - Sheilds inhabitants from the suns UV light.
      - Keeps the suns heat in.
      - Controls global climate and temperature
      - Helps us live and stuff (Oxygen)
    - - Increased rates of asthma, lung and heart disease.
      - 3.5 million people die every year from outdoor air pollution
      - 4.3 million people die every year from indoor air pollution
      - more demand for cheap energy=,ore fossil fuels.
      - Health care costs = economic burden.
    - - factories
      - Transport
      - Traffic exhaust
      - Power Plant Emmisions
      - Coal
      - Dried animal wastes
      - Burning Coal
      - Fossil Fuels
      - Farming
      - Nitrogen
      - Methane
      - Industrial accidents.
  - - - Building Dams
        
        Building dams stops the flow of the waterways and changes the environment within.
      - Irrigating Crops
      - Fertalisering
        
        Creates blue green algae which can choke other plants and animals living in the water and can poison food sources around the edges of the waterway.
      - increasing population
        
        an in crease in population wil mean more people need to drink the water, and also more people will be dumping their wastes into the water ways.
      - Climate change
        
        increases global temperatures which then increase the evaporation rates
      - Extremely high rates of evaporation
        
        Means that the water is evaporated faster and the waterway will disappear faster.
      - Increase in desertification in river catchment areas.
    - - water degradation can change water levels in water ways
      - water gets all gross and unusable.
- - - - natural products that can be used or converted by humans for use.
      - Deep sea fish > we can eat
    - - things done by the environment that are done for us but don't produce consumable services
      - Bees > pollinate our flowers
    - - personal relationships humans have with the environment
      - Surfers > Personal connection with the ocean.
    - - Processes in natural environment that absorb our waste
      - Trees > absorbs Carbon Dioxide
- - - - across the globe
      - Equator
      - Imaginary lines splitting the world into north and south hemispheres
    - - Up and Down the globe
      - Prime Merridian
      - Imaginary lines splitting the world into east and west
- - - - Habitat change like deforestation
      - Over exploitation of resources such as fresh water
      - pollution of the land, water and air
      - spread of invasion species
      - climate change bought about by human activities.
    - - Puts animals up for extinction
      - Threats our Ecosystem services
- - - - on nature
        
        causes a salinity rise in the soil
        
        increased erosion
        
        More Carbon Dioxide in the air
        
        Habitat destruction
      - on humans
        
        more carbon dioxide in the air.
    - - human causes
        
        Cutting down trees for development
        
        tree farms
