You may sketch two scenes to illustrate your explanation. Which would be a better location for establishing a settlement? A desert or by a river? Justify your reasoning.

27. In our study of geography, SWBAT describe geographic features and determine the impact the geography has on settlements by examining maps and atlases to gather details for drawing conclusions in a chart and by creating a foldable. NCSCOS 6G

29. Vocab: The term topography comes from the Greek words topos which means "place" and graphō which means "write". After viewing the video, explain the relevance of topography's Greek root words. Topography is a broad term used to describe the detailed study of the earth's surface. This includes changes in the surface such as mountains and valleys as well as features such as rivers and plains.

30. Vocab: Based on the definition, the map and the video, explain why those two Greeks roots were joined to create the term topography. Th e term topography comes from the Greek words topos which means "place" and graphō which means "write". Th e Greek words topos and grapho were used to make the word topography because it means to examine _____________________ and ________________________ about it.

31. GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES T heme of Place Essential Questions: What are geographic features? How are civilizations impacted by geographic features?

33. Geographic Feature: Cape A pointed piece of land that stretches out into the water. Definition: Picture/illustration Impact: Settlements on a cape experience high winds and rocky soil. Lighthouses are built on capes to prevent ships from crashing into them. Example: Cape Horn, South America

Definition, 2. Picture, 3. Example (not in the US) and IMPACT (place, movement, HEI) on a settlement or civilization!

35. Rank your geographic features from 1-10. Your #1 feature would be the most conducive/best place for locating a settlement and your #10 would be the least conducive/worse place for locating a settlement. Justify your reasoning for your #1 and #10 choices. Be very specific in your reasoning.
