The
definitions of terms that have been included are most of the
major subject specific words that students will come across
when studying Geography from the school years in the age
range 12-18. First year undergraduates may also find it a
useful reference point for topic areas that they did not
cover at secondary/senior/high school. All terms in
this dictionary are cross referenced and linked for
ease of use.
The
resource has been developed in response to my own
frustration at there not being any comprehensive Geography
dictionaries or glossaries on the web that are free
open-access. I believe that restricted/subscription access
to dictionary web pages is wrong. The terms defined do not
belong to anyone. The definitions compiled here have been
rewritten from a huge variety of academic sources and are
based on my own educational experiences and my experience of
teaching Geography in Hong Kong since 1997.
That said,
I have spent a huge amount of time writing it and in the
interests of maintaining my own ethical position, I do
assert my rights as the copyright holder of this dictionary.
You may
print definitions for your own use as a student or teacher
without my permission but I do ask that these print-outs
give the URL as the source.
You may
not copy any of these pages on to your own web-site, or
any form of electronically accessible media.
Please
email ITS
if you would like to add a term to this dictionary /
glossary. Either send us your definition or request
that we define the term for you.
This resource was created to
help students and others everywhere. ITS would like
to freely encourage other internet sites to link to this
dictionary.
Please just paste the following
link text into your html source code:
It will look like this:
Geography Dictionary / Glossary for Students
All terms in this dictionary are
bookmarked and it is possible to place a link to any term
that will then open the definition in a new page from your
own site by using the following text. All that is needed is
to change the b.htm to the correct dictionary letter
page ie d.htm and the tem ie Barrier_beach to
the term you wish to show the definition to i.e Debris
It will look like this:
barrier beach
