    Study Notes

    Physical Geography

    • Definition: The study of natural features and processes of the Earth’s surface.

    • Key Components:

      • Landforms:
        • Mountains, hills, plateaus, plains.
        • Formation processes: tectonic activity, erosion, weathering.
      • Water Bodies:
        • Oceans, rivers, lakes, aquifers.
        • Hydrological cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation.
      • Climate and Weather:
        • Climate zones: tropical, temperate, polar.
        • Weather patterns: precipitation types, temperature variations.
      • Soils:
        • Types: sandy, clayey, loamy.
        • Soil formation processes: weathering, organic matter decomposition.
    • Natural Processes:

      • Tectonics:
        • Plate movements causing earthquakes, volcanic activity.
      • Erosion:
        • Processes by wind, water, and ice that shape landscapes.
      • Weathering:
        • Chemical, physical, and biological breakdown of rocks.
    • Biogeography:

      • Study of the distribution of ecosystems and species.
      • Influenced by climate, soil types, and landforms.
    • Vegetation Zones:

      • Deserts, grasslands, forests, tundras.
      • Each zone has distinct characteristics and biodiversity.
    • Key Concepts:

      • Fluvial Processes: River dynamics, sediment transport, delta formation.
      • Glaciation: Formation of glaciers, ice ages, and their impact on landscapes.
      • Natural Hazards: Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides, and their geographical implications.
    • Human Interaction:

      • Influence of human activities on natural landscapes (urbanization, agriculture).
      • Importance of conservation in maintaining physical geography.

    Fisiese Geografie

    • Die studie van die natuurlike kenmerke en prosesse van die Aarde se oppervlak.

    Landvorme

    • Berge, heuwels, plato's, vlaktes.
    • Vormingsprosesse: tektoniese aktiwiteit, erosie, verwering.

    Waterliggame

    • Oseane, riviere, mere, grondwaterbekkens.
    • Hidrologiese siklus: verdamping, kondensasie, neerslag.

    Klimaat en Weer

    • Klimaatsones: tropies, gematig, pool.
    • Weerpatrone: neerslagtipes, temperatuurvariasies.

    Grond

    • Soorte: sanderig, kleiagtig, lemig.
    • Grondvormingsprosesse: verwering, ontbinding van organiese materiaal.

    Natuurlike Prosesse

    Tektoniek

    • Platebewegings wat aardbewings en vulkaniese aktiwiteit veroorsaak.

    Erosie

    • Prosesse deur wind, water en ys wat landskappe vorm.

    Verwering

    • Chemiese, fisiese en biologiese afbraak van rotse.

    Biogeografie

    • Studie van die verspreiding van ekosisteme en spesies.
    • Beïnvloed deur klimaat, grondtipes en landvorme.

    Vegetasie-sones

    • Woestyne, grasvelde, woude, toendra's.
    • Elke sone het unieke kenmerke en biodiversiteit.

    Belangrike Konsepte

    Fluviale Prosesse

    • Rivierdinamika, sedimentvervoer, deltavorming.

    Vergletsering

    • Vorming van gletsers, ystydperke en hul impak op landskappe.

    Natuurrampe

    • Aardbewings, tsoenami's, vloede, grondstortings en hul geografiese implikasies.

    Menslike Interaksie

    • Invloed van menslike aktiwiteite op natuurlike landskappe (verstedeliking, landbou).
    • Belangrikheid van bewaring in die handhawing van fisiese geografie.
