Geographical Dimensions

 The Physical Dimension

This is all about the land and natural features of a place. It includes things like mountains, rivers, oceans, forests, and climate. For example, if you live near a mountain range or by the coast, that’s part of the physical dimension. It’s about the geography of a place—how it looks and how its environment affects the people living there

 The Economic Dimension

This part is all about money, trade, and work. It looks at how a place makes a living, like what resources are available (oil, agriculture, technology), what industries are important (like tourism, manufacturing, or farming), and how people earn money. 

If there are a lot of jobs available in a certain part of the country, it's probably more densely populated

Population density

The Social-Cultural Dimension:

This dimension focuses on the people and their lifestyles. It looks at things like language, religion, customs, traditions, and even the way people dress or celebrate

 The Political Dimension

This is about governments and how countries or regions are run. It includes the laws, rules, and political systems that affect people’s lives. Some countries have democracies where people vote for leaders, while others might have monarchies or dictatorships.
