Geography is the study of the earth's atmosphere and physical features. This includes natural features like mountains, rivers, beaches, valleys, and cliffs, as well as the way human activity has affected the earth. ... Let's talk about the three major fields of physical geography: cartography, hydrology, and meteorology.In the context of spatial analysis, geographic information systems, and geographic information science, the term field has been adopted from physics, in which it denotes a quantity that can be theoretically assigned to any point of space, such as temperature or density. This use of field is synonymous with the spatially dependent variable that forms the foundation of geostatistics and crossbreeding between these disciplines is common. Both scalar and vector fields are found in geographic applications, although the former is more common. The simplest formal model for a field is the function, which yields a single value given a point in space (i.e., t = f(x, y, z) )


Even though the basic concept of a field came from physics, geographers have developed independent theories, data models, and analytical methods. One reason for this apparent disconnect is that "geographic fields" tend to have a different fundamental nature than physical fields; that is, they have patterns similar to gravity and magnetism, but are in reality very different. Common types of geographic fields include:


Natural fields, properties of matter that are formed at scales below that of human perception, such as temperature or soil moisture.

Artificial or aggregate fields, statistically constructed properties of aggregate groups of individuals, such as population density.

Fields of potential, which measure conceptual, non-material quantities (and are thus most closely related to the fields of physics), such as the probability that a person at any given location will prefer to use a particular facility (e.g. a grocery store).


Geographic fields can exist over a temporal domain as well as space. For example, temperature varies over time as well as location in space. In fact, many of the methods used in time geography and similar spatiotemporal models treat the location of an individual as a function or field over time

1.) Coastal environments, deserts, mountain environments, savanna grasslands, and forests.

2.) Each ecosystem has a different climate and people and animals who have adapted to these climates differently than the other environments. Each environment has its own resources there that the other might not have for them to survive.
