These features include vegetation, climate, the local water cycle, and land formations. Geography doesn’t just determine whether humans can live in a certain area or not, it also determines people’s lifestyles, as they adapt to the available food and climate patterns.
Q. How did geography influence the development of the eastern hemisphere?
The geographic diversity of the Eastern Hemisphere has significantly influenced physical mobility and the course of human development. 6.1. a Physical maps reflect the varied climate zones, landforms, bodies of water, and natural resources of the Eastern Hemisphere.

Q. What is the physical geography of the eastern hemisphere?
The Eastern Hemisphere refers to the area of the Earth east of the prime meridian and west of the International Date Line. This includes much of Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the islands of Oceania. A map centered on the Eastern Hemisphere will have the Indian Ocean basin at the center.
Q. Why is understanding the sun important?
The Sun is the key to understanding other stars. We know the Sun’s age, radius, mass, and luminosity (brightness) and we have also learned detailed information about its interior and atmosphere. This information is crucial for our understanding of other stars and how they evolve.
Q. What are the importance of the sun to the planets?
The sun has extremely important influences on our planet: It drives weather, ocean currents, seasons, and climate, and makes plant life possible through photosynthesis. Without the sun’s heat and light, life on Earth would not exist.
Q. What is the importance of the moon?
The brightest and largest object in our night sky, the Moon makes Earth a more livable planet by moderating our home planet’s wobble on its axis, leading to a relatively stable climate. It also causes tides, creating a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years.
Q. How many earth do we need?
World Footprint Today humanity uses the equivalent of 1.6 Earths to provide the resources we use and absorb our waste. This means it now takes the Earth one year and eight months to regenerate what we use in a year.
Q. How does Earth Overshoot day affect us?
Impacts of ecological overspending are apparent already in soil erosion, desertification, reduced cropland productivity, overgrazing, deforestation, rapid species extinction, fisheries collapse and increased carbon concentration in the atmosphere.
Q. How many Earths do I need to sustain my lifestyle?
According to the Global Footprint Network, which estimates Earth Overshoot Day each year, we now need 1.5 Earths to satisfy our current demands and desires.
