Which two essential elements of geography are missing from the image above?
A.
“Human systems” and “Physical systems”
B.
“Human geography” and “Human systems”
C.
“Physical geography” and “Movement”
D.
“Human systems” and “Location”

Answer 1

To determine which two essential elements of geography are missing from the image, we need to consider the key elements of geography. The main elements typically include:

1. Location - where things are found on the earth.
2. Place - characteristics that make a location unique.
3. Human Systems - how people interact with their environment, including cultures, economies, and urban systems.
4. Physical Systems - natural processes and features of the earth.
5. Movement - how and why people and goods move.
6. Region - areas that have common features.

Now, let's analyze the options provided to find the two missing elements:

A. “Human systems” and “Physical systems” - This option suggests that both important aspects that involve human interaction and natural features are missing.

B. “Human geography” and “Human systems” - This combines a broader area of study with human interaction, but it is somewhat redundant as "human geography" relates directly to "human systems."

C. “Physical geography” and “Movement” - This highlights the physical aspects and the dynamics of movement but does not touch upon human interaction.

D. “Human systems” and “Location” - This indicates a missing element about human interactions and the concept of location.

Based on these analyses:

• If the image lacks "Human systems," the interaction of people and their environment is not depicted.
• If it also lacks "Location," the positioning of features on Earth is not represented.

Therefore, the correct answer concerning the two essential elements of geography that are missing would be:

D. “Human systems” and “Location.”
