Question

I greatly feel Openstudy needs a geograpgy group we have a group in major school subjects and I feel geography is also important and is a vague subject which can lead to confusion please tell your opnion so we can quickly get this group get up

Anyone know the biggest plate that is a part of our earths crust, most likely no and many of us are intersted so I really hope this group gets greated

Answer 1

Basic geography will be very helpful!!!

Answer 2

yes!you are right...great idea my friend!

Answer 3

Agreed! I think there is a need for a geography group :)

Answer 4

Iam not from geography background , so no idea about the subject. But I completely support your viewpoint , as these groups not just help the people who study that subject , but others as well. Its great to know about where we live ! :-)

Answer 5

You want to have a discussion with @cshalvey about that, I believe. As I recall, this kind of falls under his realm in Community Management. :)

Answer 6

What kind of questions would be asked in the geography group?

Answer 7

@cshalvey What do you think about a geography group
@Dyiliq we can ask questions like what is latitide what lattide is what basic gepgrahy will be really helpful

Answer 8

Hmm, well when it comes to adding new groups, it's really all about demand, and moderation. However, since @TranceNova has graciously volunteered to assist :P, I'll definitely take it under consideration.

Let me know here how many people would be interested (feel free to ask them to reply here so we can see), cheers everyone!

Answer 9

Guys we really need a geography please tell your views so we can go further when it comes to moderating I an available to moderate the geography group, i have been on open study for quite a while now

Answer 10

I think there should be a geography group. Even though I do not have this class, it can still be very helpful to other students and other questions we may not understand. I think there should be a geography group for sure. (:

Answer 11

Cool Story, You got my Vote for the group

Answer 12

@cshalvey heeeey I'm usually watching the little groups!

Anyway juding from the large volume of geography questions that usually end up on the biology group I'd say there is a reasonable need.

Answer 13

@cshalvey and @EVERYONE
we have gotten the geography group
YAAAAAY

Answer 14

@cshalvey
If you need any help in making the group i will help
thank you

Answer 15

Oh ohoh! Can I have a link? I can't seem to find it..

Answer 16

@waheguru, please post the link! I also am interested in the geography group!

Though sadly it's not the Earth / Climate Science group we need to get all the Earth / Climate Science questions out of biology... :/

Answer 17

Earth / Climate Science can be covered under geography right? I was hoping to get people to ask those questions in the geography group :P

Answer 18

Nope, don't think so...

Answer 19

I've always thought geography is more what rivers and mountain ranges are where...

Answer 20

Of course we can always tell people they're covered under geography.

Answer 21

I loved geography during grade school, I support!

Answer 22

Hmm, it my year 12 geography I covered those subjects, but it may not standardly covered under geography.

Answer 23

Interesting, just googled it "The study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere, and of human activity as it affects and is affected by these."

Answer 24

Right on the line then. Now we can create confusion by telling everyone in bio to post 'em in geography and every one in geography to post 'em in bio.

Answer 25

Hahaha! Maybe it should be called something like: "Geography, Geology and Earth Sciences Group" - I think they group together nicely and it would reduce confusion :D

Answer 26

@cshalvey I vite

Answer 27

@cshalvey do you think this is enough people to make the gepgraphy group ...

Answer 28

I was always very bad at geography but fully support the idea of creating one for those with an interest in it.

That's because a final decision has not yet been made. It's been a busy week so we just haven't had time to nail it down yet.

Answer 50

Which is on me btw - we'll be sure to touch base with you ASAP. We've got some new stuff cooking right now that I think you'll enjoy from wherever you access OpenStudy (hint hint), so hopefully you'll understand why this has been delayed.

I'll be sure to let you all know soon! Thank you!
