• What is scale ?

  the detail at which geographers study something.
• What is a map scale?

• What is a time scale?

  a period of time which smth happens
• The four geographical scales are: local, regional, national, and global.
• What is a resource ?

  a material identified by people to be useful
• What is a natural resource?

  useful materials found on earth
• what Is a natured centred view?

  The physical environment with natural resources is valuable.thus the physical environment should be preserved

• What is a human centred view?

  in the human centred view, the physical environment is valuable bc humabs can obtain materials from it for their use and benefit. Such extraction of natural resources and negatively impact the physical environment.
