He invented a globe and argued that the representation of the world as a flat, two-dimensional object was not accurate. 4. He developed the science of geography, although he was better known for his contributions to mathematics. 5. The Greek-derived word "geography" means to describe the Earth. 6. China's greatest contribution to geography was. 7. The earliest world map ever found was carved on a Babylonian clay tablet that showed Earth as a flat, circular disk. 8. Ptolemy incorporated topography into his maps, which means that the mountain and valley surfaces would appear on the map. 9.

The first person to calculate the circumference of the Earth and coined the word "geography" was Eratosthenes. The man who successfully applied his scientific research to create an illustration of the first world map was Anaximander. The person who invented the globe and argued that the representation of the world as a flat, two-dimensional object was not accurate was Ptolemy. He developed the science of geography, although he was better known for his contributions to mathematics was Eratosthenes. The Greek-derived word "geography" means to describe the Earth is correct. China's greatest contribution to geography was the compass. This allowed you to find out which direction you were going extremely easy. The earliest world map ever found was carved on a Babylonian clay tablet that showed Earth as a flat, circular disk, this is correct. It was believed to be created in 6th century BCE. Ptolemy incorporated topography into his maps, which means that the mountain and valley surfaces would appear on the map. This is correct and is the birth or starting of the topological maps! This early group, the Greeks, were the first to use rational thought or logic while investigating the physical world. It is believed that the science of geography originated with each of the following groups except the British. The British are believed to have no contributions to the science of Geography.
Predicting earthquakes is a very complex task as compared to that of the volcanic eruptions that take place as a consequence of these quakes. Not even the USGS can accurately predict these earthquakes as an earthquake occurs from deep within the layers of the earth and thus it is quite difficult to predict how shallow these depths are.
<u>Monitoring and predicting the behavior</u> of an active or extinct or dominant type of volcano is much easier as they can be studied based on magma and lava, for example, the swelling inside a volcano can predict that magma has accumulated near the surface.
Movement of magma and gases through the hydrothermal vents can be done through the thermal monitoring system also a volcano can bee seen on the surface and a earthquake in the seismic wave form underneath the surface is not.
