 The study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere  The study of human activity as it affects and is affected by the distribution of populations and resources, land use, and industries.

 Where it is?  Why is it there?  What are the consequences of it being there?

 Location  Place  Human- Environment Interactions  Movement  Religions

 Position on the earth  Absolute – where it is exactly?  Relative – where is it located in relationship to other places?

 What is it like there?  Physical and Human Characteristics  Physical- landforms, climate, natural vegetation, animal life  Human- population, language, religion, political system

 What is the relationship between humans and the environment?  Humans depend on the environment to meet their basic needs  Humans modify the environment by farming it, building dams, mining resources  Humans adapt to the environment; using air conditioning in the south, and heating units in the north

 How and why are places connected with one another?  Are world is in constant motion, constantly changing people, ideas, goods,

 An area that has unifying characteristics  Some regions are distinguished by physical characteristics- landforms, climate, vegetation  Some by human characteristics- culture, economics, political

 The world in spatial terms – knowing the location of places  Places and Regions - also describe physical characteristics like landforms or climate and human characteristics like language or religion  Physical Systems – analyze how the earth is shaped

 Human Systems – analyze how humans shape the world; reasons why people move  Environment and Society – how people use the environment and the effect  The uses of Geography – helps understanding the relationship among people, places and environments over time

They measure distance N-S  Lines of longitude (Meridians)circle the earth from pole to pole. They measure distance E-W

 Equator - 0 degrees latitude  Prime Meridian- 0 degrees longitude  Tropic of Cancer 23.5 N latitude  Tropic of Capricorn  23.5 S latitude

 Map Key explains lines colors and symbols used on a map  Bar Scale or measuring line helps you figure distance on the map  Compass Rose is a symbol that tell you cardinal direction on a map

.General purpose maps show a wide range of general information about an area  Physical maps call out landforms and water features  Political maps show names and boundaries of countries, location of cities, and other man-made features of a place.
