CGC1D Unit 1: Mapping and Earth Systems Topic 1 : Defining Geography and Map Essentials

Map Essentials Title: indicates what the map represents Legend: indicates the meaning of symbols used to represent real-world features (e.g. cities, boundaries, rivers, train tracks,etc) Scale: indicates the difference between distances on the map and distances in the real world.

Map Essentials Direction: (compass rose or north arrow) Orientation on a map is very important. The cardinal points (North, South, East, West) are used to indicate direction to the map reader. Border: sets the limits of the map. Color: used to represent certain features (esp. water is always BLUE)

Map Essentials Horizontal Labels: to make the map easy- to-read. Name of Cartographer: that’s you! (take credit when its due.) Date: (of Publication)

Defining Geography The academic discipline that examines variations on the Earth’s surface. Geographers attempt to explain the diverse characteristics of the Earth’s landscape; exploring topics such as population distribution, earth processes (e.g. earthquakes), the atmosphere and oceans, and international issues. Geography is divided into two main categories: Physical Geography and Human Geography

Physical Geography The study of non-human processes relating to the earth.

Human Geography The study of the distribution and organization of humans, and the human use of resources.

Physical Geography Examples: e.g. Glaciation (glaciers), Tectonism (movement of the earth’s continents), Vegetation patterns, Volcanism (volcanoes), etc. Human Geography Examples: e.g. demography, political geography, urbanization, immigration, economic geography
