Polar, Temperate, Arid, Tropical, Mediterranean, Mountains
Tropical
• Around the Equator we have tropical climates which are hot and humid, this is where you’ll find the world’s rainforests.
-
Mediterranean
•Next is Mediterranean with hot dry summers, and cooler wetter winters.
Temperate
•Then there are temperate climates. That’s what we have in the UK, where summers are mild and winters aren’t too cold.
Continental
•In areas that are a very long way from the sea, the climate is continental with long, cold winters and short, hot summers.
Polar
• Finally, there’s polar climates which experience long periods of extreme cold.
Geographical Concepts
Place- place is apart of the earths surface that is identified and given meaning by the people. Places can be naturally shaped by the environment and largely unchanged by the humans, or built constructed by humans,
Space- Space is a way that things are arranged on the earths surface. Geographers look for patterns in the way features and structures are arranged:
Location- where things are located on the earths surface.
Organisation- how and why things are arranged and managed on the earths surface by the people.
Spatial Distribution- the shapes and patterns in which things are arranged on the earths surface
Environment: the living and non living components and elements that make up an area and the ways things are organised in a system.
Geographers are interested in investigating and describing the relationships between people and the environment
Interconnection geographers use this concept to better understand the links between places and people, and how these interconnection affect the environment and they way we live
Sustainability the ongoing capacity of the earth to maintain all life. Developing ways to ensure the earths resources being used and managed responsibly so they can maintain for future generations.
Oil, Coal and natural gas (non-renewable) (will run out one day).
Wind, Forest, Solar, Water (renewable) (can be replaced naturally)
Change- helps us understand what is happening around us and to see he world as a dynamic place. Change in both time and space allows geographers to examine how environments develop, transforms or disappears.
this could be Positive or Negative
Scale- used to guide geographical inquiries. Large or Small. For example, something that affects a whole country. Such as a serve drought, would involve a study at the nation scale.

Biomes
-Scientists have developed the term Biome to describe areas on the Earth with similar climate, plants, and animals. The plants and animals that live in a specific biome are physically well adapted for that area.
they all include, location, description, plants and anaimals.
Biomes- Desert, Grassland, Tropical Rainforest, Boreal forest, Tundra, Aquatic

The digital divide During your lifetime, the Internet and other digital technologies have become the most powerful tools of connection the world has ever known . In some places there are more computers and mobile phones than there are people, while in other places these devices are still uncommon. These differences are known as the digital divide.
