16. ABSOLUTE LOCATION The exact spot on earth where a place can be found Uses LONGITUDE and LATITUDE or other very specific/detailed directions to explain where it is located.

17. Remember: A HALF Circle consists of a total of 90  Latitude AKA P ARALLELS Run parallel to the equator (they NEVER touch) Run East to West MEASURE degrees North and South from the Equator 80  N 60  N 40  N 20  N 20  S 40  S 60  S 80  S 90  N 90  S There are twenty degrees  between each of these particular drawn lines.

18. Remember: A Circle consists of a total of 180  Longitude AKA M ERIDIANS Run from pole to pole (they ALWAYS touch at Poles) Run North to South MEASURE degrees East and West from the Prime Meridian There are twenty degrees  between each of these particular drawn lines. 20  W 40  W 60  W 80  W 20  E40  E60  E80  E90  E 90  W

19. Remember: A Circle consists of a total of 180  Longitude AKA M ERIDIANS Unlike Latitude Lines, which only get as high as 90 , Longitude Lines get as high as 180  There are twenty degrees  between each of these particular drawn lines. 160  W 140  W 120  W 100  W 160  E 140  E 120  E 100  E 90  E 90  W

23.

24. What physical processes can cause places to change over time? Volcanic Eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes, and glacial movement cause change

25. How do push and pull factors cause migration? Difficult Conditions PUSH people to leave a place The promise of better conditions PULLS people to a new place

26. What are some ways people have adapted to their environment? Building new homes from local material (igloo, log cabin) Learning new work skills (learning to fish near lakes, rivers, or oceans) Eating locally grown food (peaches)
