Ch. 1 – Tools of Geography Geoterms: 1. ______________________ _____________________ The exact place on a map. (Where a parallel of latitude & meridian of longitude meet). 2. ___________________ ___________________ Where a place is located compared to another place. 3. __________________ ______________________ Way of showing the round Earth on a flat surface. 4. ______________________ A change in shape, size, or position of a place when it is shown on a map. Map Components: 1. __________________ or __________________ Identifies symbols on a map & explains their meaning. Ex: Star = Capital, tree = park, Blue lines = rivers, airplane = airport etc. 2. ____________________ Tells what a map shows - Identifies main topic of map. 3. Measures distances on a map ____________________ ___________________ (Ex. 1 inch = 10 miles) 4. ______________________ Shows direction on a map. Mapping Terms The Cardinal Directions are: ________________ _______________ _________________ ________________ The Intermediate directions are: ______________________ ______________________ ______________________ _____________________ A Map Grid is lines that divide a map; used to find exact locations on a map. The Global Grid is a system of ____________________________ and __________________________ Ch 1 Unit 1 pg. 1 Ch. 1 – Tools of Geography Lines on a map that run from the North Pole to the South Pole __________________________________ (also called Meridians) 0⁰ Longitude is called the ______________________ ______________________ (most important longitude, runs through Greenwich, England). 180° Longitude ________________________ ______________________ (Exactly ½ way around the world from Prime Meridian) Lines on a map that run East & West (go all the way around the globe) _____________________________ (also called Parallels) 0⁰ Latitude _________________________________ (Circles Earth exactly ½ way between North & South poles) _____________________________ A set of numbers that describe the exact location of something on a map. (43°N, 89°W are the coordinates of Mt. Horeb) Tropic of _______________________: 23 ½ ° north latitude (north of equator) (northern limit of tropical zone) Tropic of ____________________________________: 23 ½ ° south latitude (south of equator) (southern limit of tropical zone) ___________________________________ Means half a world ___________________________________ largest areas of land on the planet. The 7 continents are:________________________ _______________________ _______________________ ______________________ _______________________ _____________________ ____________________ ____________________________________ Earth’s trip/orbit around the sun - Takes 1 year ____________________________________ The spinning of the earth on its axis - Takes 1 day Ch 1 Unit 1 pg. 2
