Key Learning Points
Geography is not just about countries, rivers, or mountains. It's about the relationship between humans and everything on Earth.
Systems thinking starts from understanding natural movements, like how the Sun moves.
Geo-informatics is a tool to analyze spatial data, but Geography covers a wider scope.
Real-life problems, like accidents from drunk driving, can be linked to locations and human behavior.
Survival skills and problem-solving are important—How would you handle the situation if you got lost in a place you’ve never been before?
