| show | a place's environment influences how people live. People in cold climates wear warmer clothes and to drink more hot soup and hot chocolate. People also impact their environment as they harvest resources like cutting down forests for wood to build homes
🗑

| show | 1. Absolute _______ - the exact location on Earth. Coordinates made of the intersection between lines of latitude and longitude. 2. Relative ______ - location in relation to other places. Direction and distance are described.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the world is constantly changing, and places are affected by the movement of people, goods, ideas, and physical forces. People and other animals migrate, money and goods are traded between countries, rivers change course.

| What affects a region's climate? (There are 3 factors) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Climate is the weather patterns for a location OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, while weather can be for very short periods.
When describing climate OR weather, you describe the same 2 characteristics: Temperature & precipitation.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the difference between altitude and latitude? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Latitude: The further you go from the Equator the colder the climate will get. Altitude: The further up you go in elevation or height above sea level the colder the climate will get.
