    Study Notes

    Biogeography

    • Study of the geographic distribution of living organisms and their interactions with the environment
    • Examines the patterns and processes that shape the distribution of species and ecosystems across the Earth's surface
    • Key concepts:
      • Species richness: the number of species present in a given area
      • Endemism: the unique occurrence of a species in a specific geographic area
      • Biome: a large region characterized by a specific climate and vegetation type
    • Types of biogeography:
      • Island biogeography: the study of species distribution on islands
      • Continental biogeography: the study of species distribution on continents

    Geomorphology

    • Study of the shape and formation of the Earth's surface
    • Examines the processes that shape the landscape, including:
      • Tectonic forces: the movement of the Earth's crust
      • Volcanic activity: the formation of landforms through volcanic eruptions
      • Weathering and erosion: the breakdown and removal of rocks and soil
    • Key concepts:
      • Landform: a natural feature of the Earth's surface, such as a mountain or valley
      • Landscape: a larger geographic area characterized by a specific combination of landforms
      • Drainage basin: an area drained by a single river system
    • Types of geomorphology:
      • Fluvial geomorphology: the study of landforms shaped by rivers and streams
      • Glacial geomorphology: the study of landforms shaped by glaciers
