Class 9/21, Unique Points on the Earth

We started off class today by watching a video made by the students here on the recent fire drill we had. I don't really understand why we had to watch that video. I also didn't understand what it was trying to explain. But we took notes on how each point on the Earth is unique.

• Place: unique location of a feature 
• Region: areas of unique characteristics 
• Spatial association 

Each place on Earth in some respects unique and in other ways similar to other places. The interplay between the uniqueness of each place and the similarities among places lies at the heart of geographic questioning about why things are found where they are. Two basic concepts help geographers to explain why every point on Earth is unique- place and region. The difference between the two concepts is party a matter of scale: a place is a point, whereas a region is an area.
