  the connection between Geography and History and
  our past and present?

3

• Understanding geography is one of the best ways
  to help us understand how cultures throughout the
  world have developed into the cultures they are

  similar physical features and common culture
  traits.

7

• Region

• Lines that run east and west around the globe and
  they measure distances north and south of the
  equator.

13

• Lines of Latitude

14

• Every area on Earth has its own special qualities
  that make it different from other places.
• Differences might be defined in terms of climate,
  physical features, or by the people who live
  there as well as by their traditions (human

• This is an example of which Theme?

15

• Place

16

• Landforms, bodies of water, climate, soil, plant
  and animal life, and other natural resources.

17

18

• What is exact or absolute location?

19

  degrees is in the _________ hemisphere.

21

• Eastern

22

• This Theme of Geography deals with Exact and
  Relative Location.

23

• Location

24
This is an example of which map projection? How
is it accurate? How is it distorted?
25

• This map demonstrates an accurate size and shape
  of continents, but distorted sizes of oceans

26
What hemisphere is this?
27

• Western Hemisphere

28
These lines also known as meridians, run from the
North Pole to the South Pole.
These lines measure distance east and west of the

29

  the __________ location of a place or where it is
  located in relation to some other place

31

• Relative

32

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of both
  maps and globes?

33
Advantages
Disadvantages
34
This is an example of which map projection? How
is it accurate? How is it distorted?
35

• Robinson Projection
• Has minor distortions
• Continents and oceans are close to their sizes
  and shapes, but the North and South poles appear
  flattened.

36

• Study of people, their environments and their
  resources.

37

• Geography

38

• Line of Latitude that lies at 0 degrees

39

• The Equator

40

• A map which shows the landforms, mountains,
  oceans, and deserts of the world is called a
  _______________ map.

41

• Physical

42

• TRUE!

50

• Body of water that is part of a sea or ocean and
  is partly enclosed by land.

51

• Bay

52
This is an example of which map projection? How
is it accurate? How is it distorted?
53

• Mercator Projection
• Shows the true shapes of landmasses and true
  directions, but it distorts their correct sizes.

54

• Point of land that extends into the water.

55

• Cape

56

• Buildings, bridges, farms, roads, and the people
  and their traditions.

57

• Human features

58

• Deep, narrow valley with steep sides

59

61

• Distribution Map

62

• How has Geography influenced how and where people
  lived?

63

• Individuals must learn to utilize and adapt to
  the environment and resources (soil, climate,
  minerals and land surface) around them in order
  to survive!
• Understanding Geography and the choices people
  have made helps us understand how cultures
  throughout the world have developed into the
  cultures they are today.
