  1. Label Continents and Oceanson world map

  2. Social Scientists • What is the job.. • Sociologist: to study customs and values of a culture • economists: to study how people, societies, and nations choose and supply the things they want • political scientists: to study how people are governed

  4. Geography Notes

  5. Longitude and Latitude

  6. Lines of Longitude or Meridians • Runs north-south and meet at the poles (up & down) • Measured east/west of the Prime Meridian (00 degrees longitude) • The direction in which the degrees increase is the direction from the Prime Meridian (east/west)

  7. Lines of Latitude or parallels: • Run east-west (across) • Measured by degrees north/south of the equator (00 degrees latitude) • The direction in which the degrees increase is the direction from the equator (north/south)

  8. What is Geography? • The study of all the physical features of the Earth’s surface, including people, their environments, and their resources

  9. Themes of Geography • Location: • Absolute: specific location – Long&Lat/address • Relative: Relative location describes a place with respect to its connection to other places. • Place: Physical and human Characteristics • Interaction between people and the environment • humans adapt to and modify the environment • Humans shape the landscape through their interaction with the land • both positive and negative effects on the environment.

  10. Themes of Geography • Movement: • migration • trade • ideas • Diffusion: movement of customs or ideas from one place to another; spread of cultural features • Interdependence: mutual dependence of countries on goods, resources, and knowledge from other parts of the world • Region: • unifying characteristics – cultural or geographical characteristics – manageable units

  11. Climate vs. Weather • Climate: the pattern of changes in weather over a number of years • Weather: the condition of air at any one time

  12. Latitude and Climate • Tropics (low latitudes) • Between Tropic of Cancer (23.50 N. Latitude) & Tropic of Capricorn (23.50 S. Latitude) • Polar Regions (high latitudes) • arctic circle: 66.50 North • Antarctic Circle: 66.50 South Latitude • Temperate Zone (middle latitudes) • climate varies

  13. arctic circle: 66.50 North Polar Regions Temperate Zone Tropics (low latitudes) Temperate Zone Polar Regions Antarctic Circle: 66.50 South Latitude
