Question

1 multiple answer 4 points those who study geography use the essential elements of geography the effects of ecosystem on the earth’s surface. where places are located. how taxes are collected the effects matter, and energy on the earth’s surface. the shape of the infrastructure. regions with similar physical or human characteristics the effects of natural phenomena on the earth’s surface. create permanent features

Explanation:

• "the effects of ecosystem on the earth’s surface": Ecosystems and their impact on Earth's surface are studied in physical geography (ecosystems are part of biophysical systems).
• "where places are located": Location is a fundamental element of geography (absolute, relative location).
• "how taxes are collected": This is related to economics/taxation, not geography.
• "the effects matter, and energy on the earth’s surface": Matter and energy interactions (e.g., geomorphic processes, climate systems) are geographic (physical geography studies energy and matter flows).
• "the shape of the infrastructure": Infrastructure shape is more about engineering/urban planning, not core geography.
• "regions with similar physical or human characteristics": Regions (formal, functional, vernacular) with shared traits are a key geographic concept (regional geography).
• "the effects of natural phenomena on the earth’s surface": Natural phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, erosion) and their surface impacts are studied in physical geography.
• "create permanent features": Creating permanent features is more about human construction/geology (but less a core geographic element vs others here).

So the correct options are those related to geographic elements: location, ecosystem effects, matter/energy effects, regions, natural phenomena effects.

Answer:

• the effects of ecosystem on the earth’s surface.
• where places are located.
• the effects matter, and energy on the earth’s surface.
• regions with similar physical or human characteristics
• the effects of natural phenomena on the earth’s surface.
