The basic questions that guide geographers in their work are “where are things located” and “why are they there”? The first question takes you to the answers of where. Are there pots that have been fossilized? Or are there bracelets under the dirt, from a civilization that has long since passed away? These questions allow geographers to understand what is going on in a specific area.

The first question guides a geographer to think about the location the item is found. It could help to establish a pattern, therefore giving a good idea of what previous civilizations used in that area. The second question gives the geographers a logic puzzle. Figuring out why something is located in a specific area is a crucial part of the work of a geographer.
