Today we learned that Geography is the study of where things are found on Earths surface and the reasons for the locations. We also learned that geographers ask themseleves 2 simple questions, "When are people and activities found on earth?", and "Why are they found here?". We also learned Cartography is the science of map making. Maps serve 2 purposes, as a reference tool to identify an objects absolute and relative location, and as a communication tool to convey the distribution of human activities or physical features. The most interesting fact of today was the first world map was prepared by Eratosthenes in 276-194 B.C.
