Welcome to Mr. Tredinnick's World Geography Class

Picture
Geography is the science of space and place on Earth’s surface. It is 
an integrative discipline that brings together the physical and human dimensions of our world. Geography’s subject matter is the spatial arrangement of the physical and human phenomena that make up the world’s environments and gives character to places, large and small. Geography describes the changing patterns of places in words, maps, numbers and graphics, explains how these patterns come to be, and unravels their meaning.
