Application scenario

A good example would be a topic on volcanoes in which information about eruptions which have happened at different times in the past provides additional information to enrich a study about volcanic processes and their impact on people, plants and creatures. In this instance, geography dominates and history has an additional role.

A topic on the Romans, for instance, would have a history focus but is enriched by mapwork and an understanding of Roman roads and cities
