Changing Attributes of Place - This concept applies to human geography in a lot of ways. Human geography is the study of where and why human activities are located where they are. That being said, humans modify the environment so that they can continue to live, use, or continually modify a place. Cultural Landscape - The cultural landscape is derived through multiple means. In human geography, geographers study why humans and activities are where they are. The cultural landscape is derived through human features and physical features. The differing cultures in human geography can all be grouped together and take up a massive place in the field of human geography.

-Geographers ask "where" things are and "why" they are there. -Thinking Geographically is one of the oldest human activities. -Geography is divided into physical and human geography. -Human Geographers are especially concerned with the uneven impact of destruction. -Two main features of human behavior: culture and economy -Geography is immediately distinguished from other disciplines by it's reliance on mas to display and analyze information. -Three basic concepts: scale, space, and connections help geographers explain why these similarities do not result in coincidence. -Geography's most important tool for thinking spatially about the distribution of features is a map. -The first decision a cartographer faces is how much of Earth's surface to depict the map.
