1.  5 Themes of Geography include: 1. Place 2. Location 3. Region 4. Movement 5. Human-Environment Interaction  Understanding the 5 themes helps geographers determine why societies developed the way that they did and act the way that they do.

2.  Regardless of their type, most all maps include similar features: 1. Scale - the relationship (or ratio) between distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground 2. Key/legend - a table on a map or chart listing and explaining the symbols used. 3. Compass Rose - a circle showing the principal directions printed on a map or chart

3. 4. Longitude and Latitude:  Longitude - the angular distance of a place east or west of the Prime Meridian ▪ i.e. 60 Degrees West  Prime Meridian - the earth's zero of longitude, which passes through Greenwich, England.  Latitude - the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator  Equator - an imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles; parallel of latitude 0°  Lines are expressed in degrees because the earth is a sphere 1.Latitude is listed first, followed by longitude 2.What country would be 30 Degrees South, 135 Degrees East?

4.  Line of Longitude and Latitude are used by geographers to divide the world in to hemispheres  Hemi – half  Sphere – circle  Equator divides the world in to Northern and Southern Hemispheres  Prime Meridian divides the world in to Eastern and Western Hemispheres  Combined, the earth is divided into 4 parts  Northwest  Northeast  Southwest  Southeast

5.  Today we are going to apply our skills, and gain some new vocabulary, by completing a physical map of the world  For each portion of the handout you must: 1. Define the key term ▪ (Do this on a separate sheet of paper) ▪ Title: Landform Vocabulary 2. Map it 3. Make an inference based on the question  Partner Work  Materials: ▪ Textbook ▪ Writing Utensil ▪ Colored Pencils ▪ Maps handout

6.  6. Ocean A very large expanse of water encompassing more than one sea.  7. Sea - a roughly definable area of the ocean  8. Bay - a broad inlet of the sea where the land curves inward.  9. Gulf - a deep inlet of the sea almost surrounded by land, with a narrow mouth  10. River Mouth - A river mouth or stream mouth is a part of a river where it flows into a sea, river, lake, reservoir or ocean.  11. Highland - an area of high or mountainous land.  13. Plain - a large area of flat land with few trees  14. Cape - is a headland or promontory of large size extending into a body of water, usually the sea.
