Germany Essay
Physical Geography
Germany's central and southern regions are surrounded by the valleys of the Danube,
Main, and Rhine rivers. Germany's terrain tears down in the north, shaping a vast plain that runs
from Canada to the North Sea. Germany enjoys a mild climate to the north and west due to its
northern latitude and isolation from the North Atlantic Current. The majority of Germany's soils
are brown, ranging from light to dark brown. Relief, hydrologic conditions, vegetation, and
human activities all play a role in the development of new canyons. The majority of the land is
arable, with soil types ranging from exceptionally fertile brown to black. Germany geologically
is heavily affected by sedimentation in shelf seas and numerous phases of orogeny in the
Paleozoic and the Cenozoic (Beck et al., 2018).

Economic Geography
Wheat, barley, corn, and sugar beets are the principal crops in areas with high natural
fertility. The North German Plain and Central German Uplands' weaker soils have historically
been utilized to grow rye, oats, potatoes, and fodder beets. In comparison to other European
countries, Germany's manufacturing sector considerably contributes to GDP, accounting for
approximately 24% of gross value added. Germany's exports and GDP growth have benefited
significantly from globalization's acceleration during the previous few decades. Eastern
Germany's expansion in commerce, banking, and finance has significantly boosted the sector's
prominence. Previously one of the most manufacturing-intensive economies in the world,
Germany's economy is now dominated by services. Concluding by the vital foreign trade,
Germany has the most open economy amidst the G7 nations (Kohn and Wewel, 2018).
Cultural Geography
Germany was formerly at the forefront of European ideas, politics, and art, owing to its
long and illustrious past. For millennia, humans have lived in a largely Christian civilization that
also values beer (and sausages) and the written word. As evidenced by the widespread
observation that German trains are frequently on time, Germans place a premium on punctuality.
