Landforms and Maps

8. Name 2 kinds of imaginary lines that intersect to show location. 9. Name 2 kinds of large, flat land forms and where they can be found. 10. What explains symbols on a map? What helps tell distance?

Landforms Many land features make up the landscape: – Plains – Large, flat areas with fertile soils. – Coastal plains (AKA Lowlands) – Interior Plains (central part of continent)

Landforms Many land features make up the landscape: – Plateaus – Flat, raised areas of land

Landforms Many land features make up the landscape: – Mountains – tower above land – Folded Mountains – squeezed from opposite sides

Landforms Many land features make up the landscape: – Mountains – tower above land – Upwarped Mountains – forces push crust up

Landforms Many land features make up the landscape: – Mountains – tower above land – Fault-block Mountains – tilted blocks are separated

Latitude and Longitude Latitude and Longitude help identify locations – Imaginary grid system (Lat, Lon)

Latitude and Longitude Latitude and Longitude help identify locations – Latitude – parallel with Equator, in degrees N and S 0 is Equator

Latitude and Longitude Latitude and Longitude help identify locations – Longitude – lines from North Pole to South Pole, in degrees W and E 0 is Prime Meridian (through London, UK)

Time Zones Earth is divided into 24 time zones – Each is about 15 o of longitude wide and 1 hour different.

Maps Map projections are made when points and lines on a globe’s surface are transferred onto paper. – All projections (types of maps) distort the shapes of landmasses.

Maps While many types of map projections exist, we will focus on topographic maps. – Topographic maps – models the change in Earth’s surface elevations. Contour lines are used to connect points of equal elevation. Contour interval: elevation difference between contour lines EX 10m

Maps Other parts of maps: – Map Scale – shows the relationship between distance on a map and actual distance on the Earth.

Maps Other parts of maps: – Map legend – explains symbols used on a map.
