9 What is… The equator!!

10 All of these definitions are CORRECT in terms of the use of this word - the system used by geographers to transfer location from a globe to a map (1:24,000, 1mi-1in) - the extent of spread of a phenomenon over a given area - the difference in elevation between two points - the relationship between the length of an object on a map and the feature that it represents on the landscape All of these definitions are CORRECT in terms of the use of this word

11 What is… Scale

12 What is the projection of this type of this map

13 What is… Mercator

14 Take out a piece of paper: for each of the following types of scale, draw or write an example: - representative fraction (RF) - graphic scale - written scale DAILY DOUBLE

15 What is… -representative fraction (RF) -1:24,000 -graphic scale -written scale -1 in. = 1,000 mi.

16 A system for transferring and converting locations from the round globe to a flat map is known as projection. Name the 4 most common distortions caused by projection.

17 What are… Area Shape Direction Proximity

18 A map like this shows what type of region?

19 What is… Vernacular Region

20 Name these special points: C D A B

21 What are… A- equator B- latitude C- Prime Meridian D- Longitude

22 The spread of Islam depicted below is an example of

23 What is… Contagious Diffusion

24 Baptists being located in Nevada and North Dakota are examples of

25 What is… Relocation diffusion

26 Below is the chart of the innovation diffusion cycle. INNOVATORS are most likely near the ______ of an idea or product.

27 Where is… The hearth / origin

28 According to this, as distance increases, contact with a point of origin, a core, or a hearth will gradually decrease
