13. Section 1–5 One of the major goals of ancient geographers was to measure the size and shape of Earth. The appearance of Earth’s shadow on the eclipsing moon proved to most people that Earth was spherical. In the 200s B.C. Greek geographer Eratosthenes used angles of the sun over a specific distance to calculate the circumference of Earth. His estimate was off by only a few hundred miles.

14. Section 1–6 The Elements of Geography Geographers are specialists who describe Earth’s physical and human features and the interactions of people, places, and environments. (pages 19–20)

15. Section 1–7 List some of the tools geographers might use to describe the features of Earth and the relationships between them. Geographers might use maps, atlases, charts, measuring devices, thermometers, and barometers to describe the features of Earth and the relationships between them.

The World in Spatial Terms Spatial relations means “relations in space”: how places, people, and features of the earth are connected because of their locations.  Relative location Relative location describes a place’s location in relation to another place. (pages 20–21)

17. Section 1–9 When is it useful to know the absolute location of a place? When is it useful to know its relative location?
