Transcript
Study Guide 1. To learn more about the Earth, geographers organize information according to five themes: Location, place, region, movement and human/environment interaction. 2. Geographers learn how people and the environment affect each other by studying the theme of human-environment interaction? 3. Latitude and longitude lines help geographers identify absolute location. 4. The pattern of weather over a long period of time is called climate. 5. Geographers are most likely to study landforms and their locations. 6. Geographers study regions so that they can make comparison. 7. A globe is more accurate than a map because a globe can show the true shape of the continents and oceans. 8. Imaginary lines that measure distances east or west of the Prime Meridian are called lines of longitude. 9. Imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator are called lines of latitude. 10. Relative location of a place tells you where a place is compared to another place. 11. The tilt of earth’s axis causes the changing of seasons throughout the year 12. Halfway between the North and South poles, the equator circles the globe. 13. The unit of measure used to determine an absolute location on a map or globe is called a(n) degree. 14. The Prime Meridian is located at 0° longitude. 15. A map feature that shows the four cardinal directions is the compass rose. 16. The section of a map that explains symbols for the map features is the key or legend. 17. The scale portion of the map compares the distance on the map with the distance on Earth’s surface. 18. The temperate zone lies between the polar zones and the tropical zone. 19. The polar zones are located north of the Artic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle. 20. The tropical zone is located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. 21. The theme of place answers the question, “what is it like” by using physical and human characteristics. 22. New technology has made the movement of people, goods, and ideas faster and more efficient. 23. Immigrants are people who relocate to another country. 24. When people migrate, they bring with them the customs and traditions of their culture. 25. Migration can affect the culture, economy and politics of the country where people relocate. Explain the factors that may cause people to migrate to a new country. Include examples of both push and pull factors.
