NORTH AMERICA NOTES UNIT 4

FORMAL REGION = BOUNDARIES/BORDERS (PHYSICAL OR HUMAN) FUNCTIONAL REGION = COMMON SYSTEM (LANGUAGE, RELIGION, TRANSPORTATION ROUTES…) PERCEPTUAL REGION = STEREOTYPES OR OPINIONS PLAYGROUND POLITICS - CANADA

Factors that affect climate of North America: LEMPOS!

L: LATITUDE

E: ELEVATION U.S. HAS MORE VARIED VEGETATION ZONES THAN CANADA THE HIGHER YOU GET, THE COLDER IT GETS BECAUSE BOTH AIR PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE DECREASE

M: MOUNTAIN BARRIERS

P: PROXIMITY TO WATER

O: OCEAN CURRENTS CORIOLIS EFFECT: AFFECTS THE DIRECTION OF PREVAILING WINDS

S: STORMS

SO HOW DO THESE FACTORS AFFECT NORTH AMERICA?

ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES HIGH LATITUDES MID LATITUDES LOW/TROPI CAL LATITUDES Trade and trees Agriculture and variety

SETTLEMENT PATTERNS PROXIMITY TO WATER AND TRANSPORTATION ROUTES AVAILABLE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES AND ACCESS TO NATURAL RESOURCES GROWTH OF URBAN AREAS = AIR CONDITIONING!!
