Utah Geography Tools Notes

Class Objective Students will familiarize themselves with Geographic tools.

Maps To further help us explore Utah we have many different types of maps, and uses for maps. The two main types are political and physical.

Political maps show borders and boundaries assigned by humans. Physical maps show physical features of an area.

More Maps Besides physical and political there are many more: Precipitation: Shows rainfall averages Population: Shows population distribution Climate: Shows the climate of the area Elevation: Shows elevation changes Topographic or contour maps show elevation changes in more detail.

Map Tools Legend/Key- a tool that identifies the symbols on a map and what they represent. Scale- helps determine real distances between points on a map.

Cardinal Directions Cardinal Directions are a huge part of using a map. What are Cardinal Directions? North, South, East, and West. Whenever you are looking at a map make sure North is going away from you. A compass rose will show you what the directions on a map are.

Latitude Lines of latitude are drawn in an east-west direction. Measure north to south. Longitude Lines of longitude are drawn in a north-south direction. Measure east to west.

The intersecting lines help us find the location of places. Equator- Is an imaginary line that circles the globe halfway between the North and South poles.

Prime Meridian- An imaginary line drawn from the North Pole through Greenwich England to the South pole. Using latitude and longitude we can measure distances using degrees. Degrees are further divided into minutes. There are 60 minutes in a degree.
