GEOGRAPHY?

Study of the world around us. The world is

changing and geographers describe and

explain these changes to help us manage our

environment. Geographers try to find out the

process of how new landscapes are created.

They use GEOSPATIAL SKILLS: to understand,

describe and enquire about the world.

VERTICAL AERIAL PHOTO / PLAN

VIEWS

The camera is directly above the landscape

We can see the extent of the features and

patterns.

Used to make MAPS because the scale is the

same in the image.

=Similar objects look the same size!

16/110

OBLIQUE AERIAL PHOTO

Camera is above the landscape but angled

towards the scene being photographed.

We see the foreground and background,

height and width of objects.

We can judge how STEEP something is.


17/110

WHAT is our landscape like?


18/110

GROUND LEVEL PHOTO

Camera is held by someone at the same level

as the landscape being photographed.

We see the height and detail in vertical

surfaces.

WHAT IS GEOGRAPHY?

Study of the world around us.

Geographers describe and explain the

changes happening in the world to help us

manage our environment.

Geographers try to find out the process of

WHAT SKILLS DO GEORGRAPHERS

USE????

They use GEOSPATIAL SKILLS: to understand,

describe and enquire about the world.

FOR EXAMPLE?

Reading MAPS and understanding their features

NAVIGATION

Organising and representing fieldwork data

Collecting and recording data

Making observations of physical features

WHAT are the ADVANTAGES and

DISADVANTAGES of using aVERTICAL AERIAL PHOTO?

Th ADV t f ti l i l


44/110

The ADVantages of vertical aerial

photos are:

1. The scale is constant = all buildings that are

the same size look the same!

2. Measurements of directions are easier to get

3. Directions can be measured more accurately

4. Can be used as a map5. Easier to interpret.

Th DIS d t f ti l i l


45/110

The DISadvantages of vertical aerial

photos are:

1. Doesnt look at the ELEVATION of land features

= height of a hill.

2. Objects that are under trees or under other tall

objects may not be visible.3. Some objects, such as ridges, cliffs, caves, maynot show on a vertical photograph if they aredirectly beneath the camera.

4. If an area is covered by cloud layer, it is hard totake vertical photographs.

SCALE:

WHY DO WE USE SCALE?

It would be impossible to draw parts of the Earth to their actual size. Maps =

drawn to a smaller scale.

The map scale shows the relationship between measurements on a mapand the actual measurements on the ground.

Observational Scale the size of


65/110

Observational Scale = the size ofan area being studied

Local scale: Involves the smallest area and is immediate to wherever thestudy is taking place.

E.g Fieldwork is conducted at the local scale.

Regional scale: Covers a larger area than the local scale.E.g The study of the MurrayDarling Basin.

National scale: A nation.E.g The Australian government's response to a global phenomenon.

International scale: Two or more nations.E.g Two or more Asian nations.

Global scale: Considers a significant proportion of the Earth.E.g the distribution of rainforests across the Earth.


66/110

Scale can be shown in three ways:

1. Linear form - for example

2. Ratio - for example, 1:100 000

3. Statement - for example, 'one centimetre represents one kilometre.

A large scale map covers a small area with detail; a small scale map will cover alarger area with less detail.
