Place is a description of what the land is made of and the different characteristics, for example mountains, temperature and différant natural resources. It also include human characteristics, how and where people live and their culture

here are two ways to use location as a Geographer, absolute and relative. Absolute location is a street address or coordinates. Relative location is used more often for example my relative location is near deep cove

Humans interact with nature in one of three ways, we adapt to it, modify it or we depend it. For example if we get to a place with a colder climate we would eventually adapt to handle the cold, or we could modify it and make houses with heating and wear really warm clothes. People modify the land to make it better for their housing and stores,

Regions can be formal functional and vernacular. If a regions is formal it is described by borders and boundaries by the government, a functional region is a region that is attached to a function like pizza delivery zones

Food and grocery delivery is a from of movement.

It is a popular way for people that dont have easy transportation or aren’t capable of making it to the store

Transportation is an important part of this world. We need to get to places and we need different ways to do that. Some people dont have cars or prefer to use busses to get to school and the busses in Vancouver are quite reliable. Without easy transportation, getting to school and other places would be quite different
