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
