  3. Using your senses is called: • Observation

  4. An assumption made on observations is called an • Inference

  5. Grouping according to common characteristics is called • Classification

  6. Navigation – determining your position on Earth

  7. Coordinate Systems use two points to show location.

  8. These are lines of…?

  9. These are lines of…?

  10. Isolines connect points of equal value.

  11. Isotherms – connect points of equal temperature

  12. Isobars connect points of equal air pressure.

  13. Contour lines connect points of equal elevation.
