It links all these disciplines to determine why things happen in a particular location or according to particular spatial patterns . 

            Physical geography incorporates geology , climatology , biology , ecology , hydrogeology and other natural sciences. Human geography includes cultural anthropology , economics , political science , history , demography and other social science . Cartography , which is the art and science of map making , provides graphic representations of Geographic settings . 

                Geographers also use ather tools in their data gathering , analysis and representations - tools including statistics , photographs , remotely captured images ( such as satellite photos ) , and computer - generated graphics.

What is an Armillary sphere ? An Armillary sphere is globe made of moveable , concentric rings that depict such things as horizon , meridian , Equator ,tropics and polar circles. The earliest known complete Armillary ks attributed to the Greeks in the early second century AD . Ptolemy created one to promote his geocentric vision of the cosmos . In 1543 , German mathematician Casper Vogel constructed an Armillary sphere that supported Ptolemy's theory . In the same year , Copernicus published his revolutionary treaties placing the sun at the centre of the solar system.   Afterward , Ptolemaic and Copernican sphere were exhibited together to display the difference between the two versions of the cosmos.      Vogels 1543 Armillary placed Earth in the centre of many planetary orbits .

WHAT IS GEOMAGNETISM ? Scientists believe that Earth's magnetism aries from electric currents generated by the movement of hot liquid iron in it's core .The currents create a magnetic field with invisible lines of force flowing between Earth Geomagnetic poles . These are not the same as the North and South Poles and , more significant , they are not stationary . The Geomagnetic poles mark the ends of the axis of Earth's magnetic field.  In 1971 a group of scientists investigating a 30,000 year old aboriginal campsite in Australia discovered that the fire's heat had allowed iron particles in the stone to realign with Earth's magnetic field at the time . What's more , the iron particles pointed south, indicating that magnetic north at that time must have been somewhere in the Antractic . The discovery confirmed other recent reversal of the Earth's magnetic field. It is now understood that major reverals in Earth's magnetic field occ
