Geography
Understanding the Earth and its resources has always been essential to human survival. As humans, we need to know where to find water, places to grow food, and materials needed for shelter. Geography is the study of the physical and human environments; and how they affect each other. Knowing geography helps us understand the land we live on and how to make better use of it.
Maps give us info about land. This may include the way the land is shaped, location, direction, and distance. Also, the lands climate, resources, and population. Learning to read maps is crucial when traveling to not get lost. To find what is in a map, look at the title and symbols (legend). The Compass Rose displays the directions (north, south, east, and west).
Not every paragraph will have a visible conclusion. When writers make a conclusion, it is fitted to the argument presented in their opening statement. After the opening statement, the rest of the paragraph should contain evidence to support the writer’s ideas and statements. The reader must either remember the details or look at the paragraph to see is the ideas presented truly support the opening statement.
