WARM- UP 1. WHAT IS A REASON A GEOGRAPHER MIGHT NEED TO GO INTO THE FIELD. 2. WHAT IS A WAY THAT TECHNOLOGY IMPACTS THE WAY A GEOGRAPHER DOES THEIR JOB?

PLANET EARTH

PLANETS: NEIGHBORS IN SPACE SUN, CENTER OF SOLAR SYSTEM, 109X’S WIDER THEN EARTH, OBJECTS REVOLVE AROUND IT ALL PLANETS ORBIT AROUND THE SUN ALL EXCEPT MERCURY & VENUS HAVE MOONS TWO TYPES OF PLANETS: TERRESTRIAL- SOLID ROCKY CRUST GAS GIANTS- MORE GASEOUS, LESS DENSE

ASTROIDS, COMETS, METEROIDS ASTEROIDS SMALL, IRREGULARLY SHAPED PLANET LIKE OBJECTS MOSTLY FOUND IN ASTEROID BELT COMETS- ICY DUST PARTICLES, FROZEN GASES MAY APPROACH FROM ANY DIRECTION METEOROIDS- SPACE DEBRIS (ROCK/IRON) MOST BURN UP UPON ENTERING EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE

WATER, LAND AND AIR EARTH WIDER AT CENTER THEN TOP/BOTTOM WATER 70% OF PLANETS SURFACE OCEANS, LAKES, RIVERS = HYDROSPHERE LAND, OCEAN BASINS = LITHOSPHERE LAYER OF GASES ABOVE SURFACE= ATMOSPHERE LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM = BIOSPHERE

LANDFORMS NATURAL FEATURES OF THE EARTH’S SURFACE FOUR MAJOR- MOUNTAINS, HILLS, PLATEAUS, PLAINS UNDERWATER LANDFORMS EXIST EARTH’S MOST VISIBLE LANDFORMS ARE CONTINENTS CONTINENTAL SHELVES SLOPE OUT AS MUCH AS 800 MILES FROM LAND

MOUNTAIN AND HILL MOUNT SHASTA HILL IN NAPA, CALIFORNIA

VALLEY’S AND PLATEAUS CENTRAL VALLEY CALIFORNIAPLATEAU

EARTH’S HEIGHTS AND DEPTHS HIGHEST POINT ON EARTH- MT. EVEREST LOWEST DRY LAND- SHORE OF THE DEAD SEA

EARTH’S DEEPEST POINT- MARINA TRENCH

THE SPHERES AND ME FOR ALL FOUR SPHERES OF EARTH: DRAW A PICTURE OF YOU “INTERACTING” WITH THAT SPHERE WRITE A CAPTION THAT EXPLAIN YOUR INTERACTION NOTEBOOK ASSIGNMENT
