"A landform in the earth sciences comprises a geomorphological unit, and is largely defined by its surface form and location in the landscape. As part of the terrain a landform is an element of topography. Landform elements also include land such as hills, mountains, plateaus,canyons,valleys, seascape and oceanic waterbody interface features such as bays, peninsulas, seas and so forth, including sub-aqueous terrain features such as mid-ocean ridges, volcanoes,and the great ocean basins." [Landform. Wikipedia]
This landscape illustration example is included in the Nature solution from the Illustration area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Geography" contains 14 clipart images of natural landscapes and water features for drawing illustrations.
"A natural landscape is a landscape that is unaffected by human activity. A natural landscape is intact when all living and nonliving elements are free to move and change. The nonliving elements distinguish a natural landscape from a wilderness. A wilderness includes areas within which natural processes operate without human interference, but a wilderness must contain life. As implied, a natural landscape may contain either the living or nonliving or both." [Natural landscape. Wikipedia]

"Population geography is a division of human geography. It is the study of the ways in which spatial variations in the distribution, composition, migration, and growth of populations are related to the nature of places. Population geography involves demography in a geographical perspective. It focuses on the characteristics of population distributions that change in a spatial context." [Population geography.

"The Andean States are a group of nations in South America that are defined by sharing a common geography (Andes mountain range) or culture such as the Quechua language and Andean cuisine which was primarily spread during the times of the Inca Empire, but also before and after it.
Politically speaking, Argentina and Chile are usually not considered part of the Andean States as they lack a strong native Andean heritage and are culturally more oriented towards Europe and they are not a members of the Andean Community of Nations (which Venezuela is in the process of leaving).
The Andes occupy the western part of South America, stretching through the following countries: Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina (not considered to be -geopolitically- an Andean State), Chile (not considered to be -geopolitically- an Andean State)." [Andean states. Wikipedia]
"Southern Cone (Spanish: Cono Sur, Portuguese: Cone Sul) is a geographic region composed of the southernmost areas of South America, south of and around the Tropic of Capricorn. Traditionally, it covers Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, and south to the junction between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, which is the closest continental area of Antarctica (1000 km). In terms of social and political geography, the Southern Cone comprises Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Southern Brazil and the Brazilian state of São Paulo.
High life expectancy, the highest Human Development Index of Latin America, high standard of living, significant participation in the global markets and the emerging economy of its members make the Southern Cone the most prosperous macro-region in South America." [Southern Cone. Wikipedia]
Eastern South America (Brazil). "Brazil Listeni/ brəˈzɪl/ (Portuguese: Brasil, IPA: [bɾaˈziw]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, About this sound listen (help·info)), is the largest country in both South America and the Latin American region. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population. It is the largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world, and the only one in the Americas. Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi). It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas region of French Guiana; on the northwest by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the southwest by Argentina and Paraguay and on the south by Uruguay. Numerous archipelagos form part of Brazilian territory, such as Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Saint Peter and Paul Rocks, and Trindade and Martim Vaz. It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and occupies 47 percent of the continent of South America." [Brazil. Wikipedia]
"The Guianas, sometimes called by the Spanish loan-word Guayanas (Las Guayanas) refers to a region in north-eastern South America which includes the following three territories:
(1) French Guiana, an overseas department of France,
(2) Guyana, known as British Guiana from 1831 until 1966, after the colonies of Berbice, Essequibo, and Demerara, taken from the Netherlands in 1814, were merged into a single colony,
(3) Suriname, until 1814 a part of Dutch Guiana, together with Berbice, Essequibo and Demerara." [The Guianas. Wikipedia]

This spatial infographics was created on the bese of the conference centre location map from the website. [cf.ac.uk/ share/ research/ centres/ clarc/ newsandevents/ isns-conference-2013-booking-information.html]
"The terms location and place in geography are used to identify a point or an area on the Earth's surface or elsewhere. The term location generally implies a higher degree of certainty than place, which often indicates an entity with an ambiguous boundary, relying more on human/ social attributes of place identity and sense of place than on geometry.
Types of location/ place.
(1) A relative location is described as a displacement from another site...
(2) A locality is likely to have a well-defined name but a boundary which is less well defined and which varies by context." [Location (geography). Wikipedia]

This Water cycle diagram example was drawn using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector graphics software extended with the clipart libraries Geography and Weather.
"The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle or the H2O cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass water on Earth remains fairly constant over time but the partitioning of the water into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and subsurface flow. In so doing, the water goes through different phases: liquid, solid (ice), and gas (vapor)." [Water cycle. Wikipedia]

"A thematic map is a type of map or chart especially designed to show a particular theme connected with a specific geographic area. ...
A thematic map is a map that focuses on a specific theme or subject area, whereas in a general map the variety of phenomena - geological, geographical, political - regularly appear together. ...
Thematic maps emphasize spatial variation of one or a small number of geographic distributions. These distributions may be physical phenomena such as climate or human characteristics such as population density and health issues. ...
Thematic map are sometimes referred to as graphic essays that portray spatial variations and interrelationships of geographical distributions. Location, of course, is important to provide a reference base of where selected phenomena are occurring. ...
Thematic maps serve three primary purposes.
First, they provide specific information about particular locations.
Second, they provide general information about spatial patterns.
Third, they can be used to compare patterns on two or more maps." [Thematic map. Wikipedia]
The vector stencils library "Thematic maps" contains 7 continent map contours for creating the thematic maps of geographic regions displaying the metric values by countries, states and territories marked by different colors.
