In this course you have been introduced to many types of landscapes, both natural and built, and the interactions between humans and those landscapes. As you have
learned, the relationship is such that each impacts and shapes the other. Click here for more on this paper……. Click here to have a similar A+ quality paper done for you by one of our writers within the set deadline at a discounted
This writing assignment will challenge you to use the knowledge you have about learned about
those interactions and interpret a human landscape as a geographer would – sometimes called “reading the landscape.”
Though you will be given some information to work with, you must also think critically about this landscape. You will consider what is happening on the landscape and
why? How are people using their environment and, in turn, how are their actions shaped by it? What global forces are at play?
Getting started
You will need the latest version (at least version 5) of Google Earth installed on your computer. Click here for more on this paper……. Click here to have a similar A+ quality paper done for you by one of our writers within the set deadline at a discounted
A side note:If you have difficulty installing Google Earth on your computer and you have access to a campus computer (at State’s main campus), all computers in the Geography Lab
(Room 201) and all general-use campus computers (for example, in the library or union) have Google Earth already installed on them.
Once installed, launch Google Earth and in the “Layers” menu, open the “Global Awareness” layer (that is, click on the + next to “Global Awareness”). You will notice
a list of international organizations whose aim is to promote public awareness about global issues. For this assignment, you will be using the Click here for more on this paper…….

“The Earth from Above

Layers panel.
The Layers panel in Google Earth.
Google Earth will fly you to North Africa, where you should see many icons (an aerial photograph of crops in the shape of a heart, see image below) across the map.
Each icon represents the location of a photograph taken by Yann Arthus-Bertrand for his project “Earth from Above,” which encompasses over 500,000 Click here for more on this paper…….

aerial photos of the
human landscape from 100 countries. Click on an “Earth from Above” icon in Google Earth to view the photograph and read about the photo subject and location (in the
caption beneath the photo). Double-click on the icon to zoom into the satellite image on the Google Earth map to explore the photograph’s surroundings. You can add
other layers to learn more about the area.

The assignment
For this assignment you are asked to choose one of the “Earth from Above” photographs, so that you can interpret and discuss it as a geographer would and think
critically about the information provided by the Google Earth layer about the photo location.
First, you will need to choose one of “The Earth from Above with GoodPlanet” photographs from either the continent of Asia or South America. This photo can be located
in any country of Asia or South America, in any location there is a photograph. You are strongly encouraged to look at many images – consider photographs from Click here for more on this paper……. Click here to have a similar A+ quality paper done for you by one of our writers within the set deadline at a discounted
countries such as Colombia, Paraguay, India, Bangladesh, and so on- before deciding on one.
Include the following in your response:
1. The photograph’s title. Be sure to state the photo’s location (that is, town, country) if the title does not include this information.
2. The latitude and longitude coordinates and elevation of the photograph’s location.
3. A summary of both the natural and human landscapes shown in the photograph. In other words, Click here for more on this paper……. Click here to have a similar A+ quality paper done for you by one of our writers within the set deadline at a discounted
describe with an adequate amount of detail what the photograph is
showing or capturing.
4. A discussion of the human-environment interaction(s) captured in the photograph.
How are people using the land?Why are they using the land in this way?Are there environmental limiting-factors, social/cultural factors, economic factors, et cetera, influencing the use of land at this location?

Refer to concepts you have learned about in this course to explain your answers. Also, be sure to use not only your perspective as a global citizen (that is, someone
not from that country or region), but also a local perspective. In that same regard, you should include why the two perspectives might differ from one another.
5. Lastly, consider the information you are given about the photo. There is a subject and location in the caption provided below the photo and also a comment (often
linked with an associated website) Click here for more on this paper……. Click here to have a similar A+ quality paper done for you by one of our writers within the set deadline at a discounted
above the photo. Briefly state whether or not you used this information when writing your paper and why. Then, address the possible
motivations of the photo author, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, and the GoodPlanet Foundation (chaired by Arthus-Bertrand) to provide the information that they do.
Tips:It may be obvious at this point, but not all of the “Earth from Above” photographs will work for this assignment. Some photographs will work far better than others.

Choose a photograph that allows you to address all of the questions in #4 above. Take your time in selecting a photo; there are plenty to choose from.Also, you may want to do a little outside research on the location of your photograph. Remember to cite any sources you use in the construction of your response.
Technicalities:Crafting a short, concise response is often harder than a long response! Responses should be kept between 600-800 words. At the very beginning of your
response, please type your word count in parentheses, for example: (Word count: 699). Click here for more on this paper……. Click here to have a similar A+ quality paper done for you by one of our writers within the set deadline at a discounted
