|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | the study of the Earth's physical and cultural features such as mountains, rivers, people, cities, and countries. There are 2 types, physical geography (study Earth's landforms) and human geography (study humans in a particular location).
🗑

| Five Themes of Geography | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | an area that has one or more "unifying characteristics" or features that make it different from surrounding areas. EX: The Jersey Shore, the East Coast, the Great Lakes region.
🗑
|
||||
| show | generally smaller than a region, a place has a "unique characteristic" that makes it different than its neighbors. Weather, plants and animals, history, and the people that live there can make a place unique.
🗑

| (HEI) Human Environment Interaction | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| Movement | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | shows Earth's physical, or natural features such as bodies of water, rivers, mountains, valleys, forests etc. Anything "mother nature" created.
🗑
|
||||
| Political Map | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | shows the location or distribution of human or physical features on Earth. Ex: If I were going to show who won each state in a presidential election I would use this type of map. If I wanted to study the Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat, I would use this map.
🗑
|
||||
| show | aka elevation or height above sea level. Generally, the higher in elevation you go, the colder it gets. One of the factors that affects climate
🗑
|
||||
| show | Imaginary lines on a map that run horizontally East and West (flat) but are a measurement of distance North or South from the Equator. One of the factors that affects climate. When writing an absolute location, it is written first.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Imaginary lines on a map that run vertically North and South but are a measurement of distance East or West of the Prime Meridian. When writing an absolute location, it is written second.
🗑
|
||||
| Polar Climate | show 🗑
|
||||
| Temperate Climate | show 🗑
|
||||
| Tropical Climate | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | similar to rivers flowing through the ocean, carrying warm water from the equator towards the poles, and cold water from the poles towards the equator. That water changes the air temp & keeps temperatures from getting too hot or too cold.
🗑
|
||||
| Environment | show 🗑
|
||||
| Natural Resources | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a pure and naturally occurring substance that people collect from the Earth. Can be metals or salts Example: Gold, silver, copper, iron
🗑
|
||||
| show | Date, Orientation, Grid, Scale, Title, Author, Index, and Legend
🗑
|
||||
| show | 1. Latitude, or distance from the equator
2. Altitude, or height above sea level
3. Currents, or river-like movements of water in the world's oceans.
🗑
|
||||
| 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 🗑
|
||||
| How do latitude and altitude affect a region's climate? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | They help to circulate both warm and cold water around the world. This water either warms or cools the air directly above it, helping to make many regions more temperate.
🗑
|
||||
| Why do people settle in a specific area? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Renewable-Resources that can be replaced as fast or faster than they are used i.e. solar energy, farmed animals and plants
Non-renewable-Resources that once used up, will not be replenished within a reasonable amount of time, if at all i.e. fossil fuels
🗑
