Day 2: Ch. 1: Geography & Location Utah Studies Day 2: Ch. 1: Geography & Location

Main Ideas: Location Latitude Longitude Geography Natural Resources Renewable vs. Non-renewable

Geography What is Geography? It is the study of the earth and its mountains, lakes, plateaus, valleys, deserts, oceans, rivers, etc. These are all different types of landforms.

Mountains: Mt. Timpanogos

Mt. Nebo

Lakes: Lake Mary

Lake Powell

Green River

Salt Flats

Favorite? What is your favorite place in Utah? Why?

Location! Location! Location! So what is location? Is it an address? A GPS Coordinate? A Spot on the Map? …Yes! It’s all of these!

So Where is Utah?

Longitude vs. Latitude Latitude measures how far north or south we are from the equator. Longitude measures how far east or west we are from the Prime Meridian. For example, Salt Lake City is about 41 Degrees North latitude, 112 Degrees West longitude. Check it out! https://goo.gl/L4m4fy Geocache Activity

Physical Features Another name for landforms is physical features. We can see physical features all around us; the mountains, creeks, etc. Another important thing that we get from these things are called natural resources. Natural resources are things that we can use, like plants, animals, minerals, water and fresh air, etc. Without natural resources, we couldn’t live here. Think Pair Share: What are 3 natural resources that we use here in Utah today? What are they used for?

Examples: Glen Canyon Dam

Kennecott Copper Mine

Renewable vs. Non-Renewable We certainly have many natural resources here in Utah. Some are renewable , which means they are easily replaced and come back. Can you think of any examples of renewable resources? Other resources don’t easily come back. They will be gone for a very long time, or forever. These are known as non-renewable resources. Can you think of any such resources?

Homework: Complete 1 of the following activities: Natural Resources Worksheet and Reflection Geocache Location Activity Both of these will be found on the class website
