While it might seem that the continents are stuck in place, in truth, these massive land bodies are in a constant state of motion. Continental drift is the idea that the continents do, in fact, move, albeit too slowly for anyone to notice. Research this topic for your paper. Use your findings to clearly define and explain this phenomenon as well as to explain the impact that this drift could ultimately have on the Earth's landscape.
Focus your study on the amazing geographic features that cover the planet. Select prominent natural features to study, such as the Grand Canyon or the Sahara desert. Research each of these natural wonders, looking specifically for information on how or why that wonder formed. Compose a report in which you explain this information, state how the features impacted development in the country in question and discuss changes that the area is undergoing. Include pictures to make your report more engaging.
The lands that cover the planet are not homogeneous, but instead differ in many ways. In your paper, discuss the different uses that humans have developed for lands. Explain why some areas become urban centers, mentioning factors such as proximity to waterways. Also discuss what factors make some areas fertile and, as a result, used as agricultural zones.
In many geography classes, students don't study only the lands but also the cultures of people who inhabit them. Make culture the focus of your paper. Select a region on the globe, and explain how culture developed in that area, highlighting important factors such as the movement of people. Also explain how these cultural developments were impacted by geographical factors, such as mountain walls and fertile zones.
The location of a continent or country on the globe is the determining factor in the land's climate. Gather information on the geographical factors that impact climate, such as proximity to the equator. In your paper, explain these factors and discuss how the characteristics of the Earth lead to this complex climate situation.
