GEO8G: Geography

This course examines the relationship between physical features, settlement patterns, and economic development in Canada and around the world. You will investigate how landforms, climate, and natural resources influence where people settle, how communities grow, and why some regions develop differently than others. Topics include global settlement patterns, the impact of human activity on the physical environment, economic systems and trade, and geographic perspectives on global inequalities. Through interactive animated lessons, you will develop skills in geographic inquiry, map analysis, and critical thinking that prepare you for high school social studies.
