Maps A globe is a three-dimensional representation of the earth. It provides a way to view the earth as it travels through space. But since the earth is round, we can see only one- half of it at any time. As a result, for some tasks, globes are not very practical because they are not portable.

Maps People prefer to use maps, which are two-dimensional graphic representations of selected parts of the earth’s surface. The advantage of maps is that they are portable. The disadvantage of maps is that distortions occur in flattening the earth’s surface to create the map.

Maps Reading a Map Most maps have the following elements, which are necessary to read and understand them. Map Title: The title explains the subject of the map and gives you an idea of what information the map conveys.

Maps Compass Rose: The compass rose shows you the north (N), south (S), east (E), and west (W) directions on the map. (It may also show intermediate directions such as NW, NE, SW, and SE.) Map Labels: Labels are words or phrases that explain features on the map. Examples include names of countries, oceans, seas, rivers, etc.

Maps Legend: A legend or key lists and explains symbols and use of color on the map. Latitude Lines: These are imaginary lines that measure distance north or south of the equator. Longitude Lines: These are imaginary lines that measure distance east or west of the prime meridian.

Maps Scale: A scale shows the ratio between a unit of length on the map and a unit of distance on the earth. Symbols: Symbols represent such items as capital cities, economic activities, or natural resources.

Maps Colors: Colors represent a variety of information on a map. The map legend indicates what the different colors mean. 10. Grid: Grids are sometime provided to help you find a place on the earth’s surface.

Thematic maps: Emphasizes specific information, such as climate, types of vegetation (plant life) or population density.

Maps Summary Maps represent all or part of the earth’s surface. Maps show information through lines, colors, shapes and other symbols. Maps help us locate places, measure distances, and plan trips.

Maps Summary cont. 4. Maps main advantage is that they are portable. 5. Maps main disadvantage is that by placing the round earth’s surface on a flat map causes distortions. 6. Three types of maps that we will use this year are Topographic, Political & Thematic maps.

FIRST FIVE Agenda Message for Friday August 24, 2017: Vocabulary Quiz is TODAY! This week’s E.Q.’s & Warm- ups are due Monday, August 27th. Answers are on the website.

Warm-Up: Describe the difference between linear and time distance.

ANSWERS E.Q. Answer for Friday August 24th: Human-Environmental Interaction is defined as the ways in which people use, change, or live with their environment. Warm-Up Answer: Linear distance is always described in terms of miles or kilometers while time distance is described in an element of time (days, hours, minutes, seconds, etc.)

Movement “How people, goods and ideas move from one location to another” refers to movement. Think about the clothing you wear, the music you listen to, or the place you go to for entertainment. All of these things involve movement from one place to another.

Movement Geographers analyze movement by looking at three types of distance: Linear distance (expressed in miles or kilometers) Time distance, (expressed in hours and/or minutes, seconds) Psychological distance

Movement Linear Distance & Time Distance Linear distance simply means how far across the earth a person, an idea, or a product travels. (Usually expressed in miles.) Physical geography can affect linear distance by forcing a shift in a route to avoid impassable land or water.

Movement Time distance is the amount of time it takes for a person, an idea, or a product to travel. Modern inventions have shortened time distances. Can you think of some examples?

Movement Psychological Distance Psychological Distance refers to the way people view distance. (For instance, when you were younger, some locations seemed very far away. As you have grown older, the distance to these locations probably seemed to shrink.)

Movement Summary Vocabulary Words Movement Movement describes how people, ideas, and products move from one location to another. They are measured by geographers by looking at three types of distances: linear, time, and psychological distances. Vocabulary Words Movement

Human-Environmental Interaction Human-Environmental Interaction is defined as the ways in which people use, change, or live with their environment.

Human-Environment Interaction These interactions can be positive - making places safer or more livable or they can be negative – polluting, and destroying natural beauty. As you study geography, you will learn about many ways humans interact with their environment.

Human-Environment Interaction Human Environmental Interaction, Movement & Location Where people live is effected by the environment, In turn people interact with the environment for their needs (water, food, energy, etc.) Finally ideas, goods, and people move from one location to another.
