	What is geography?
		Geography is best defined as the discipline that describes and analyses the variable character, from place to place, of the Earth as the home of human society.
		As such, geography is an integrating discipline, studying many aspects of the physical and cultural environment that are significant to understanding the character of areas or the spatial organziation of the world.
		Human geography is concerned with the spatial aspects of human existence--how people and their activity are distributed in space, how they use and perceive space, and how they create and sustain the places that make up the earth's suface.

	Geography of Puget Sound (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Sound and its essential salt marsh wetlands are fed from a watershed that covers approximately 16,000 square miles.
		Although the Pacific Coast is not known for its coastal wetlands because of its steep coastlines, Puget Sound is veritable a hotbed for salt marshes in the Pacific Northwest.
		Unfortunately, salt marshes in Puget Sound are not as common as they used to be because of development, farming practices, and increased sedimentation rates from invasive species such as spartina alterniflora.

		Pamlico Sound is a similar lagoon that lies between North Carolina and its barrier beaches, the Outer Banks, in a similar situation.
