Back Cat 1 - 200 23.5 degrees north latitude. What is the Tropic of Cancer? Back Cat 1 - 300 66.5 degrees south latitude What is the Antarctic Circle? Back Cat 1 - 400 Parallels What is the synonym for latitude? Back Cat 1 - 500 East to west and north to south Which direction do latitude lines run, and which direction do they measure distance? Back Cat 2 - 100 0 degrees longitude. What is the Prime Meridian? Back Cat 2 - 200 180 degrees. How far can you measure east or west of the Prime Meridian? Back Cat 2 - 300 Meridians. What is the synonym for longitude? Back Cat 2 - 400 Two How many fixed points of reference does longitude have? Back Cat 2 - 500 North to south and east to west Which direction do longitude lines run, and which direction do they measure distance? Back Cat 3 - 100 Lines that run north to south but measure east to west. What are longitude lines? Back Cat 3 - 200 This shows the four cardinal directions. What is a compass rose? Back Cat 3 - 300 These are the 3 fixed points of reference for latitude in the northern hemisphere. What are the North Pole, Arctic Circle and Tropic of Cancer? Back Cat 3 - 400 The Prime Meridian and the International Dateline What are the two fixed points of reference for longitude? Back Cat 3 - 500 These separate the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere and the eastern and western hemisphere. What are the Equator and Prime Meridian? Back Cat 4 - 100 Political, physical and special purpose/ thematic. What are the three types of maps? Back Cat 4 - 200 This map shows cities, states, and countries What is a political map? Back Cat 4 - 300 This explains what the symbols and colors on a map mean. What is a legend or key? Back Cat 4 - 400 To study changes in population you would use this type of map. What is a special purpose map? Back Cat 4 - 500 This represents the distance on the map to the relative distance on the ground. What is scale? Back Cat 5 - 100 Mercator/Cylindrical, Conic, FlatPlane/Lambert Equal area. What are the three types of map projections? Back Cat 5 - 200 This is what all maps show. What is distortion? Back Cat 5 - 300 This type of projection is used for nautical navigation. What is the Mercator or cylindrical projection? Back Cat 5 - 400 This projection is best for large landmasses that run east to west. What is the conic projection? Back Cat 5 - 500 This map is good for showing the polar regions and small places of roughly equal area. What is a flat-plane or Lambert Equal Area projection? Back Cat 6 - 100 This is number of themes we have discussed in class. What is 5? Back Cat 6 - 200 These are the themes of Geography What are location, place, movement, region, and interaction? Back Cat 6 - 300 “315 E. Eleventh Street” is an example of this theme. What is absolute location or site? Back Cat 6 - 400 A person arriving from Austria to Switzerland is an example of this theme.
