11. THE FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY There are five ways to look at the earth When geographers work, they are guided by two basic questions: 1)Where are things located? 2)Why are they there? To find these answers, geographers use five themes to organize information

12. THEME 1: LOCATION Where is It? Why is It There? Two Types of Location Absolute Relative

13. ABSOLUTE LOCATION A specific place on the Earth’s surface Uses a grid system Latitude and longitude A global address

14. RELATIVE LOCATION Where a place is in relation to another place Uses directional words to describe Cardinal and intermediate directions

25. THE GEOGRAPHER’S TOOLS MR. AARON BBS

26. MAPS AND GLOBES A geographer’s tools include maps, globes, and data that can be displayed in a variety of ways. Globe: Three-dimensional representation of earth. It provides a way to view the earth as it travels through space.

27. MAPS AND GLOBES Maps: Two-dimension graphic representations of selected parts of the earth’s surface.

28. MAPS AND GLOBES Map Projection: A manner to draw the earth’s surface that reduces distortion caused by presenting a round earth on flat paper. Cartographer: A mapmaker

29. TYPES OF MAPS There are three types of maps General Reference Maps (Topographic Map): A representation of natural and man-made features on earth. Thematic Maps: Emphasize specific kinds of information, such as climate or population density. Navigational Maps (Charts): Assist users to plot a course through water or air.

30. TECHNOLOGY Technology helps cartographer’s create maps by using surveying methods, such as satellites, geographic information systems (GIS), and global positioning system (GPS).

Solstice happens in the Summer and the Equinox comes in the winter The Earth is divided into three parts The Core, The Tectonic plates, and The Crust. Cold areas as cold because they get indirect rays from the Sun Three things that control the Earth are the Rotation, The Revolution, and The Tilt

68. CHAPTER THREE: WIND, CLIMATE, AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS Wind and Ocean Currents Earth’s Climate and Vegetation Natural Environments Soils can lose their fertility through erosion and leaching. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere in a short period of time Climate is the condition of the atmosphere in a long period of time Earth is separated into different pressure zones depending on the latitude Humus is a natural component for soil and is necessary for agriculture. Elevation plays a major roll in determining climate. People raised in a climate can adapt faster than people who migrate to certain climate. There are five types of climates : low latitude, dry, middle latitude, high latitude, high lands.

69. CHAPTER FOUR: EARTH’S RESOURCES Soil and Forests Water and Air Minerals Energy Resources The energy we use comes from three main fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural resources. First fertilizers that were used: manures Soil is a renewable resource Solar power has been recently used for energy From pressure and heat, these plants and animals changed to fossil fuels which are nonrenewable resources Minerals are broken down into 2 parts: metallic and nonmetallic Air pollution is a main cause of global warming Natural gas comes from earth’s crust through natural openings

85. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY GEOGRAPHY BBS 2014-2015

86. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: CULTURE Culture: A learned system of shared beliefs and ways of doing things that guides a person’s daily behavior. There are seven elements of culture Social Organization: Family patterns, structures, social classes Customs/Traditions: Rules of behavior Religion: Meaning/purpose of life Language: Spoken/written Arts/Literature: Products of human imagination to pass on culture’s beliefs Forms of Government: Provide order and needs Economic Systems: Production of what, how, and for whom

87. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: CULTURE

88. Ethnic Groups/Race Ethnic Groups are cultural groups of people who share learned beliefs and practices Race is a group of people who share inherited physical or biological traits. However, many argue that race is a social construct. Cultural Change Cultures change over time through diffusion and acculturation. Acculturation is the practice of borrowing aspects of another culture as a result of long-term contact. Cultural Differences Symbols are often times used to differentiate between cultures. Symbols can be a word, shape, color, or even a flag.

89. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: CULTURE Development of Culture Culture is developed based on a region’s history, physical environment, landscape, city planning, and agriculture. Marrakech, Morocco

90. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: POPULATION Population The branch of geography that studies human populations is called demography. Geographers who study it are called demographers. Demographers look at population size, density, and age trends. Growth Issues Generally, high population growth rates will hinder a country’s economic development. High rates can lead to scarcity of resources and jobs.

91. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: ECONOMY Types of Economic Activities Primary Industries: Directly involve natural resources or raw materials. Examples include farming, mining, and logging. Secondary Industries: Change the raw materials created by primary activities into finished products. Examples include a sawmill that turns a tree into lumber. Tertiary Industries: Handle goods that are ready to be sold to consumers. Examples include stores, banks, and government agencies. Quaternary Industries: People with specialized skills not dealing with goods. Examples include people working with information such as researchers, managers, and administrators.

92. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: ECONOMY Economic Indicators Gross National Product (GNP) The value of all goods and services that a country produces in one year. This includes goods and services made by factories owned by that country’s citizens but located in foreign countries. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Includes only those goods and services produced within a country. Most geographers tend to use this to study a country opposed to GNP. These are common means for an country to measure its economy. Development Developed Countries: Highly industrialized countries Developing Countries: Countries moving toward industrialization. 2/3 of the world lives in developing nations. Systems Free Enterprise Economy People, not the government, decide what to make, sell, or buy Command Economy The government owns most of the industries and makes most of the economic decisions.

93. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: ECONOMY McDonald’s Restaurant

94. HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: GOVERNMENTS Unlimited Government Total control over all aspects of citizens lives. There are no legal controls placed on their actions. Limited Government Limited control over aspects of citizens lives through constitutions and electoral processes. These limitations help protect citizens and societies from abuses of power.
