Physical and non-physical geography is an importance in our life because it relates to our life.
Geography is the study of the earth’s features. Geography is important
to our lives because it helps us know more about how the humans, us interact
with the environment and its physical features. We interact with the
environment by getting its resources for our own needs to build furniture,
tools, weapons and houses and make food and get water to drink and eat. We also
effect the physical features because we cut down the trees of the place or
build settlements there. When there is a settlement, there will be a
population. Geographers are studying the three types of geography to know what
humans are doing to the environment, how much is the population, and its
physical features.
Does
geography matter? Well geography helps you keep track of place to know. It also
makes you understand the normal system of everyday life. It also lets you know
physical features of the earth and environment. It also helps you know the
connection from one place to another. There for geography is important because
it helps you know about the world around us.
There are three types of
settlements. There is dispersed, nucleated and linear. These settlement are
related because they change due to weather or resources. When there is a
settlement, population of people will grow and grow increasing the population and
the settlements expand and become larger than the people migrate to other
places and make settlements and then grow more people or people migrate their
increasing the population of humans living there and they would expand their
settlements and then make the settlements grow bigger. When population and
settlements grow, meaning there will be more energy consumption because every
human being needs energy and there will be many waste produced by humans by
trash and chemical and pollutant wastes from the factories in the settlements.
Then the people will migrate to other places making the cycle of human
settlements all over and over again.
There are many economic activities in settlements. Its economic activities
are mining, fisherman, farming and forestry working. The ones which we are
going to talk about is farming. Farming needs the type of ground and place to
use. There are three types of farming. Pastoral farming, arable farming and
mixed farming. One type of postural farming is hill sheep farming. A good place
for a hill sheep farm is an upland with slopes and soils that have thin, rocky
and full of grass. The settlement needs to have three zones, the fell, which
needs to be on top of hills on 300m altitude. The sheep goes there on summer. There
also needs to be an intake of lower slopes. It is divided by putting a metal
wall so the sheep don’t jump out and fall to its deaths. There must also be an
inbye. And inbye is a small area of land which is near to the farmer’s building
which is used to grow crops for food for the sheep. It is also used for
lambing. Arable farming needs a place to farm. A settlement for arable farms
need fertilized soils so the crops can grow. It also needs to be near to a
place which has rain and sun. The two are connected because in a hill sheep
farm, they have a little space for the hill sheep farmer to grow crops for the
sheep. Arable farms also create food for the farm animals.

Economic activities can affect the environment. Some
economic activities like forestry and others could affect the environment because
forestry cuts down forests meaning it could make deforestation. The foresters
are not careful when cutting down trees of valued species. Hunting is another
economic activity which involves hunting animals for their meat or fur. This
could affect the environment because it reduces the amount of animal species
there is resulting of their extinction. Miners could affect the environment by
using hydraulic machines. They blast strong bursts of water making craters
which could damage trees and wildlife. Forestry and mining are related because
they both damage trees and they are part of primary industries. There are many
primary industries in the world. Primary industries cause pollution which can
harm the environment. There are three types, air, land and water. These are the
cities which are effected by pollution.

Geography is very important to our lives. If we study geography, we would know the physical and nonphysical features of a place and environment. It helps us get to know one another easily. You would know about a features of a dispersed settlement if you see one and you will know why it is dispersed or whatsoever. Geography is and importance to our life because it helps us to know more about the features among us. It helps us to explore and know more about our surroundings and we would know more about places and economic activities. You would know places more about how life itself work. Geography is an importance to our life because it emphasizes about the places we go to.
