GLOBAL STUDIES UNIT 1: GEOGRAPHY

*There are 5 themes that provide an organizational framework for geography. THEME #1 = What do you think location means?

Defined 2 ways: 1. Absolute location: the exact spot on Earth where something is found Can you think of an example?example? 2. Relative location: the position of a place in relation to other places Can you think of an example? Review the difference between absolute and relative location

Mapping the Earth for absolute location... Globe: scale model of the earth Earth’s land surface: organized into 7 continents –What are the 7? Earth’s water surface: organized into 4 oceans –What are the 4? Where are they!?

Why do you think there are lines on globes and maps?

The grid grid = lines of latitude & longitude Which ones are latitude lines? Which ones are longitude lines? (draw your answers in the boxes)

Latitude lines: drawn in an east-west direction and measure the distance north and south of the equator (0-90°) Longitude lines: drawn in a north-south direction and measure the distance east and west of the prime meridian (0-180°)

Equator: imaginary line that circles the globe ½ way between the North & South Pole (0°)  therefore, the equator divides the globe into 2: Northern & Southern hemisphere

Prime meridian: imaginary line that runs through Greenwich, England from the North Pole to the South Pole (0°)  therefore, the prime meridian divides the globe into 2: Western and Eastern hemispheres

Which 2 hemispheres is the United States located in?

Let’s plan a trip using absolute location! Pg. 8 worksheet by writing the name of the city closest to the intersection.
