What is the Meaning & Definition of Geosistema


The concept of geosistema has two uses in our language.

Geographic space consisting of physical, geographical and natural phenomena

On the one hand, it's one of the parts of the geography that is characterized by systems geographically formed in which the human being has not had participation. Therefore, the geosistema differs from the spaces artificially created by humans and is characterized by a natural space composed of a myriad of physical, geographical and natural phenomena. In scientific terms, can be divided then the geography in natural geography (the one composed of ecosystems) and in human geography.
Geographical science sets out to gain a better understanding of planet Earth, it is appropriate to divide its surface and its total space in different geosistemas. These geosistemas are complex assemblies that differ in terms of some qualifying features and, to be analyzed, allow us to understand better what comprises our planet, such as the different surfaces, different atmospheres, and also the various systems of flora and fauna.
The geosistema will then include a host of phenomena that are of great diversity and complexity and that must be understood together. All the elements that form a geosistema, such as temperature, moisture, the types of flora, fauna, hydrology, soil, among others, are interdependent of one another in a particular way and consequently not can be never isolated more than to be studied individually but not as a part of a greater whole. The geosistema is similar to the ecosystem, but more related to the planetary geography.
The geosistema is composed of three main elements in each of which an infinite pile of phenomena and circumstances are grouped. These three elements are the abiotic system (the one which are not live as air, Earth, water elements), the biotic system or ecosystem (that made up all living beings of this geosistema in particular) and the system that assumes the relationships and links between those two previous systems.

System that includes hardware, software, and information to access, manipulate and analyze data associated with the planet

And other application of the concept designates that orderly system that is composite different elements such as hardware, software, and data that allow to obtain, store, analyze, and manipulate information linked to the planet to solve precisely and plan in some sense the geographic management.
The information is handled according to references, such is the case of the terrestrial coordinates that allow a better location and study. The system is known in our language as a system of geographic information (GIS).
The GIS allows users access to tools that will solve queries that made in maps or interactive maps, get information space and to provide new relevant data on the subject.

Economic and everyday use that allows you to locate streets, routes, places of recreation

This system also has an unprecedented economic relevance because it allows them to employers who plan to install an industrial plant in particular territory access online to the same and to know a priori features of soil, its climate, among others, and to elucidate if the suitable place or not for the proposed purposes.
But let's use that no doubt all Internet users ever have consulted the famous system of the search engine Google, Google Maps maps and more family of the geosistema. An interactive mapping system that allows us to see at the moment is where particular geographical place in our country, in others, among so many alternatives.
We know how to get by car, bus, walking, bicycling, what is the best route to do so.
The information that can be seen in these maps is fantastic and in recent times has grown tremendous and can identify in addition to homes, features of relief, among other, more everyday issues such as banks, monuments, cinemas, theatres, restaurants, clubs, places of recreation to outdoors, among many others.
The GPS also used the geosistema to its procedure of search of locations and allow us to reach a destination to another.
