Geography's relevance to science and society arises from a distinctive and integrating set of perspectives through which geographers view the world around them. This chapter conveys a sense of what is meant by a geographic perspective, whether it be applied in research, teaching, or practice. Due to space limitations, it does not attempt to cite the many excellent examples of research illustrating geography's perspectives; the citations refer mainly to broad-ranging summaries of geographic research that are intended as resources for further reading.
Taking time to understand geography's perspectives is important because geography can be difficult to place within the family of academic disciplines. Just as all phenomena exist in time and thus have a history, they also exist in space and have a geography. Geography and history are therefore central to understanding our world and have been identified as core subjects in American education. Clearly, this kind of focus tends to cut across the boundaries of other natural and social science disciplines. Consequently, geography is sometimes viewed by those unfamiliar with the discipline as a collection of disparate specialties with no central core or coherence.
I would take the advancement of the refrigeration as a crucial part in the increasing of the production.
The refrigeration has been extremely important in the agriculture and the amount of production in it, because with it the agricultural products can be kept fresh for much longer periods. Because the products can be kept fresh for much longer time, that means that they can be delivered to pretty much every part of the world and not be spoiled. So the refrigeration opened up the doors for the farmers in the sense that instead producing only for the region or the country they live in, they can now produce much more for exporting, as the products will not spoil and remain fresh. That has also brought in much bigger profit for the farmers, and the production is constantly increasing because the whole market in the world is open with this technological advancement.
The North Star appeared to move higher in the sky.
Answer: Option 3
<u>Explanation:</u>
North star is a special star found in the sky which is said to be fixed in the sky and does not move from it's place and the reason for this is that this star is very near to the axis of the planet Earth and is the only star that does not change it's position in relation to the rotation of earth. So since Albany is to the north of the New York city, the star will appear to move higher towards the north in the sky.
I'm pretty sure it's the Eichhornia crassipes. It is a water hyacinth, and it was overgrown in the Lake Victoria area.
