What does the topography of an area include?

What are the main types of landforms?

PLAINS coastal plain. Plains along the seacoast is called a coastal plain. Coastal plains have both low elevation and low relief. Interior plains Plains that lie away from the coast are called Interior plains. Interior plains have low relief, but their elevation may vary.

MOUNTAINS mountain range Mountains usually occur as part of a mountain range Mountain range is a group of mountains that are closely related in shape, structure, and age. Example:The Cascade Range is a mountain range that runs from Washington State through Oregon to northern Califonrnia

MOUNTAINS (CONTINUED) Mountain System Different mountain ranges in a region make up a Mountain System. example: In CA, the Santa Lucia Mountains south of Monterey Bay are one mountain range in the mountain system known as the Coastal Ranges

MOUNTAINS (CONTINUED) Mountain Belt Mountain ranges and Mountain Systems in a long, connected chain form a larger unit called a Mountain Belt Example: The Rocky Mountains are part of a great mountain belt that stretches down the western side of North America and South America

How do maps represent Earth’s surface and help find locations?

1 unit on the map = 25,000 units on the ground 1 centimeter on a map = 0.25 kilometers 1cm to 25,000km

MAPS Mapmakers use shapes and pictures called symbols to stand for features on Earth’s surface. A symbol can represent a physical feature, such as a river, lake, mountain, or plain. A symbol can also stand for human-made features, such as a highway, city or airport. A map’s key,or legend, is a list of all the symbols and what they mean. A Compass Rose or North arrow is also included.

degrees are used to measure the distance around a circle. A degree is 1/360 of the distance around a circle.

EQUATOR The Equator is halfway between the North and South Poles. The Equator is an imaginary line that separates the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere

The Prime Meridian is another imaginary line that passes through Greenwich, England. The Prime Meridian separates the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. PRIME MERIDIAN
