Title: Geography Guided Notes
| |
| |Introduction to Geography |
| | |
| |Geography literally means “earth writing” |
| |geo means “earth” and graph means “writing” |
| |Study of how we organize the space on the earth and understand the things inside that space. |
| | |
| |Maps |
| | |
| |Geographers use maps to help organize information about the earth: |
| |physical maps – maps that show the land and water features of the earth’s surface. |
| |political maps – maps that show the names and borders of countries, cities and other human-made features. |
| |special purpose maps – show specific kinds of information, such as climate, population, natural resources, historical information etc. |
| | |
| |Different tools help us read maps accurately |
| |key/legend – chart that explains lines, colors and symbols on a map. |
| |scale – measuring line that tells the distances represented on the map |
| |compass rose – symbol that tells you the position of the cardinal directions (North, South, East and West). |

| |Element 1: Location |
| |location defines where something is |
| |absolute location – using latitude and longitude to find your position on the planet |
| |latitude (parallels) – lines that run west/east, but measures north south of the Equator (0° latitude) |
| |Equator divides earth into Northern and Southern hemispheres (“half spheres”) |
| |longitude (meridians) – lines that run north/south, but measures east west of Prime Meridian (0° longitude) |
| |Prime Meridian divides earth into Eastern and Western hemispheres |
| |A pair of latitude and longitude lines are called coordinates (ex. 23˚N, 45˚W) |
| |relative location – finding your location in relation to another object (ex. “I’m at Bobby’s house!”) |
| | |
| |Element 2: Places and Regions |
| | |
| |place (specific space on earth) are defined by their characteristics |
| | |
| |Physical Characteristics include natural features of a place |
| |landform (natural feature of the earth’s surface), climate (pattern of weather), plant and animal life, etc. |
| |Human Characteristics include human features of a place |
| |Ex. |
| |regions are areas united by one or more common characteristics |
| | |
| |Element 3: Physical Systems |
| | |
| |physical systems are forces of nature that shape the earths’ surface |
| |Some are destructive and cause natural disasters |
| |Ex. (hurricanes, volcanoes, tornados, earthquakes etc.) |
| | |
| |Some are less noticeable, yet still have a big impact |
| |Ex. (erosion, food chain, air cycle, water cycle etc.) |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| |Element 4: Human Systems |
| | |
| |Human Systems describes how people have organized the world and shape the world with their activities |
| | |
| |physical boundaries – walls, fences or other man-made barriers that organize the space on the earth |
| |political boundaries – borders of countries, states and other human territories |
| |movement of people, goods and ideas around the earth |
| |Ex. |
| | |
| |Element 5: Humans and the Environment |
| |Humans and the Environment deals with how people use the environment and how their actions affect the environment |
| | |
| |The Problems: |
| | |
| |scarcity - problem that the Earth's resources are limited. For example, there is only so much gold, oil, wood in the world. |
| |deforestation – removal of trees and forests to create land for other use. |
| |pollution – substances that make the land, air and water of the Earth unsafe to use. |
| |global warming – theory that the Earth’s climate is changing due to human activity. |
