Webquest for Mr. Rogers Geography Class: Religion
Introduction:
This webquest aims to help students to gain a better understanding of
the following: relationships between religion and geography; how
religions shape the geographical landscape; and how geography affects
religion. Distributions of Religion, Diffusions of Religion, Religious
Spaces, and Religious Conflict.

have specific questions to answer. The questions will be given to you at
