Name_____________________________ Unit One Study Guide Draw a compass rose with cardinal and intermediate directions. What are the 7 continents? What are the 5 oceans? What country is north of the United States? What country is south of the United States? What are the 5 Great Lakes? What imaginary line divides the Earth into eastern and western hemispheres? The seven continents are: North America Europe Asia Africa South America Australia Antarctica (Be able to identify and label on a map.) The five oceans are: Pacific Ocean Atlantic Ocean Indian Ocean Arctic Ocean Southern Ocean (Be able to identify and label on a map.) Canada is north of the United States. Mexico is south of the United States. The five Great Lakes are: Lake Superior Lake Michigan Lake Huron Lake Erie Lake Ontario (Be able to locate the Great Lakes on a labeled map.) The imaginary line that divides the Earth into eastern and western hemispheres is the prime meridian. (Be able to identify and label on a map.) What imaginary line divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres? What are the five regions of the United States? The imaginary line that divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres is the equator. (Be able to identify and label on a map.) The five U.S. regions are the : Northeast Southeast Midwest Southwest West (Be able to identify and label on a map.) What landforms are found in the Northeast? The landforms that are found in the Northeast are the: Appalachian Mountains Coast Atlantic Ocean What resources are found in the Northeast? What landforms are found in the Southeast? What resources are found in the Southeast? What landforms are found in the Midwest? What resources are found in the Midwest? What landforms are found in the Southwest? What resources are found in the Southwest? The resources that are found in the Northeast are: Coal Lobsters/fish Cranberries Maple syrup The landforms that are found in the Southeast are the: Atlantic Coastal Plain Plains- (farmland) Mississippi River Gulf of Mexico Wetlands (swamps, marshes, bayous) The resources that are found in the Southeast are: Oranges Potatoes Peanuts Cotton Tobacco seafood The landforms that are found in the Midwest are the: Great Plains Forests Rolling Hills 4 of the 5 Great Lakes (Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Superior) The resources that are found in the Midwest are: Cattle wheat Corn Dairy The landforms that are found in the Southwest are the: Grand Canyon Rocky Mountains Canyons Deserts Plateaus Plains The resources that are found in the Southwest are: Oil Natural gas Silver Copper Cattle What landforms are found in the West? What resources are found in the West? What is erosion? What effect does erosion have on Louisiana’s coastline? What causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions? Where do earthquakes occur in the United States? What land feature was made by volcanoes? What land feature was created by glaciers? Why are towns located along streams and rivers? What land feature was created by erosion? The landforms that are found in the West are the: Coastline Mountains Deserts Death Valley Mt. St. Helens Island State (Hawaii) The resources that are found in the West are: Livestock Apples Potatoes Pineapples fish Erosion is the carrying away of rocks by wind and water. Erosion is causing Louisiana to lose its wetlands. They are caused by slow movements of rock under the Earth’s crust. They occur in the western portion of the United States along faults. The Hawaiian Islands were created by volcanoes. The Great Lakes were created by glaciers. Towns are located near streams and rivers for transportation and a source of water. The Grand Canyon was created by erosion You must be able to: read and interpret maps find locations using latitude and longitude find distances on a map using the map scale identify and label at least two states within each region locate and label the north and south poles identify continents in each hemisphere when given a map
