The physical geography of the earth may encompass the tradition of geography that can be called the tradition of science. Physical geography may include the surface structures of the landscape, climatic conditions, and the scientific process on the surface of the earth. Apart from that, every activity may take place in the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere of the planet. However, the physical geography of the earth can be considered as the sub-branch of natural technology and science that deals with patterns and processes within the atmosphere. The technology may include the aspects of harbor life and living beings in the atmosphere.
Weather and climatic condition of the earth
The weather and climate of earth can be considered as the atmospheric condition that is subjected to a limited period of time. However, climate can be described as the behavioral procedure of earth for a long span. Therefore the result may imply that the weather may even change on an hourly or daily basis but the climatic condition may stay stable for a long time. Simultaneously, weather can be described as the way the atmosphere is behaving subjected to the temperature, cloudiness, humidity, pressure in the atmosphere, precipitation, and many more aspects. On the other hand, the climate is totally dependent on the orbits and revolutions of the earth and revolutions may bring changes in the climatic conditions. For example, summer, winters, rainy and many more.
Shape and size of the earth
The shape of the earth can be considered as an ellipsoid having an irregular shape, however, the view of earth from the vantage space point can be considered as a spherical shape. Accordingly, it can be said that the main reason can be considered as the gravitational forces and celestial bodies that may contract the shape of the planet to a spherical in nature. Moreover, the wide reason can be due to the pulling force that pulls mass objects closer to the gravitational center hence the centrifugal force distorts the sphere. The surface area of the earth can be 510.1 million kilometers square with a total of 148.9 million kilometers square area of land.
Characteristics of earth
- The presence of plate tectonics helps to maintain a stable atmosphere on the earth.
- Earth mostly contains silicon, iron, and oxygen (15.1 % silicon, 32.1% iron, and 30.1% oxygen)
- Water occupies 70% of the surface area of the earth.
- Molten iron core helps to create a heave magnetic field around the earth.
- Earth takes 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds to complete one rotation around its determined axis.
- A single moon and two co-orbital satellites are present on the earth.
- Till now earth is the only planet that may have the presence of living bodies.
Formation and physical geography of the earth
The formation of the earth started as an initial part of gaseous molecules and parts of cloud dust. However, it can be said that about more than 4.5 billion years ago, the solar system was settled into the current layout and the earth also became the third from the sun. Simultaneously, the formation of the central core, crust and rocky solid mantle began like the terrestrial planets. The physical geography of the earth may encompass the tradition of geography that can be called the tradition of science. Physical geography may include the surface structures of the landscape, climatic conditions, the scientific process on the surface of the earth. Apart from that, every activity may take place in the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere of the planet.
Conclusion
To conclude the discussion, physical geography along with the weather and climate of the earth are considered as the main aspects to illustrate various aspects within the earth. Apart from that, the atmospheric condition, physical geography of the earth may persist in the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere of the planet.
