MOTIVATION! WE ALL NEED IT
FAST FIVErecord answers in your notes
O What’s the name of the song playing?
O What is the name of the musical group?
O How do you describe where things are?
O What tools do you use to describe where things are?
O What do GIS and GPS stand for?
WHAT IS HUMAN GEOGRAPHY?
O Vocabulary important – weekly quizzesO Geography: study of location of people & activities
across earth & the reasons for their distribution; the study of the logical arrangement of human activities in space
O Human Geography: study where & why human activities are located where they are; i.e. religions, cities, businesses, schools, malls, military bases etc.
O 2 themes constantly present that are in opposition with each other - globalization & localism
O Most want globalizations benefits as well as preservation of local uniqueness
WHEN DO WE USE GEOGRAPHY?
O WRITE DOWN 3 EXAMPLES OF HOW YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED OR DO EXPERIENCE THESE 2 TENSIONS IN YOUR DAILY LIFE?
O WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU USED GEOGRAPHY?
O WHO WAS ERATOSTHENES?
THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF
GEOGRAPHY & REALLY COOL MAPS
OBJ: TO THINK GEOGRAPHICALLY BY LEARNING & IDENTIFYING EARLY GEOGRAPHERS AND
THEIR METHODS
WHERE IN THE WORLD?
THE WORLD FROM SPACE
VOCABULARY
PLACE: SPECIFIC LOCATIONREGION: AREA OF EARTH
DISTINGUISHED BY COMBINATION OF CULTURAL & PHYSICAL FEATURESSCALE: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
PORTION OF EARTH BEING STUDIED & EARTH AS A WHOLE
UHS – PLACE, REGION, SCALE
TYPES OF SCALESMALL SCALE SHOWS A LARGER AREA ON THE EARTH’S SURFACE W/LESS DETAIL
LARGE SCALE SMALLER AREA BUT W/MORE DETAIL
RATIO OR FRACTION 1/1,000
WRITTEN: 1 INCH = 1 MILE
GRAPHIC: BAR LINE
IN THE BEGINNING…O BABYLONIANS: 2300BCE 1ST MAPSO MEDITERRANEAN SAILORS: MAPS
OF ROCKS, SEA, CURRENTS EARLY 800’S BCE
O GREEKS: THALES USED GEOMETRY, ANAXIMANDER WORLD MAP, HECATEUS 1ST GEOGRAPHY BOOK 500BCE, ARISTOTLE 384-322BCE 1ST TO DEMONSTRATE EARTH WAS SPHERICAL, ERATOSTHENES 276?-194?BCE 1ST TO USE WORD GEOGRAPHY, CALCULATED EARTH’S CIRCUMFERENCE, 1 OF EARLIEST KNOWN WORLD MAPS, DIVIDED EARTH INTO 5 CLIMATE REGIONS
O PTOLEMY 100-170?CE 8 VOLUME GUIDE TO GEOGRAPHY
O INQUIRY IN CHINA, MUSLIMSO REVIVAL OF CARTOGRAPHY AGE OF
EXPLORATION & DISCOVERY 165H - 17TH CENT. COLUMBUS, MAGELLAN, HENRY THE NAVIGATOR
O MORE ACCURATE MAPS & TEXTS AS RESULT
O MERCATOR 1512-1594 & ORTELIUS 1527-1650
MAPS! WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR?O CARTOGRAPHY –
SCIENCE OF MAPMAKING. TODAY THIS IS DONE WITH THE AID OF COMPUTERS & SATELLITE IMAGERY
O PURPOSES? – DIRECTIONS, STORE REFERENCE MATERIAL, COMMUNICATE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION, FIND LOCATION, DISTRIBUTION OF PHYSICAL FEATURES & HUMAN ACTIVITIES
O SCALE, PROJECTION, TELLING TIME
O MAPS LIE
MAP OF COUNTRIES THAT HAVE McDONALD’SWHAT KIND OF MAP IS THIS?
WORLD MAP OF NATIONAL IQ SCORES
EQUAL AREA MAP/GOODE
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF MAP PROJECTIONSO DISTORTION: SHAPE, DISTANCE, RELATIVE SIZE OF AREAS, DIRECTION
O EQUAL AREA/GOODE: TEXT USES THESE MAPS - RELATIVE SIZES OF LANDMASSES SAME AS IN REALITY; SHAPE OF LANDMASS DISTORTION MINIMIZED BUT EASTERN & WESTERN HEMISPHERES SEPARATED – THIS IS CALLED INTERRUPTION
O MERIDIANS DON’T CONVERGE NORTH & SOUTH, LAT & LONG DON’T FORM RIGHT ANGLES
O ROBINSON: DISPLAYS INFO ACROSS OCEANS WELL BUT LAND AREAS SMALLER THAN AN EQUAL AREA/HOMOLOSINE MAP AS A RESULT
O MERCATOR: MINIMAL SHAPE DISTORTION, DIRECTION CONSISTENT, MAP RECTANGULAR BUT RELATIVE SIZE GROSSLY DISTORTED TOWARD THE POLES
O CONIC: FOCUS OF MAP IS AREA WHERE CONE TOUCHES THE GLOBE; THERE’S LESS DISTORTION. THE FURTHER AWAY THE AREA ON YOUR MAP IS FROM THE LINE OF INTERSECTION THE MORE DISTORTIONADVANTAGES: GOOD FOR POLAR REGIONS, STANDARD MAP OF CANADA & AERONAUTICAL MAPS BECAUSE IT SHOWS LATITUDE IN THE FORM OF A CIRCLE
DISADVANTAGES: NOT GOOD FOR DISPLAYING LARGE AREAS BECAUSE THE DISTORTION BECOMES GREATER THE FURTHER YOU MOVE FROM THE LINE WHERE THE CONE INTERSECTS THE GLOBE.
LOCATING POINTS ON EARTHO GEOGRAPHIC GRIDO MERIDIAN, LONGITUDEO M. IS AN ARC DRAWN
B/W N&S POLESO L. IS NUMBERING
SYSTEM THAT IDENTIFIES LOCATION OF EACH MERIDIAN ON EARTH’S SURFACE
O PARALLEL IS A CIRCLE DRAWN AROUNG THE GLOBE PARALLEL TO EQUATOR
O LATITUDE IS NUMBERING SYSTEM USED TO INDICATE LOCATION OF A PARALLEL
GEOGRAPHIC GRID & TELLING TIMEO EARTH DIVIDED INTO 360°
OF LONGITUDE & AS EARTH TURNS ALL LINES OF LONG. PASS UNDER THE SUN
O ONE TIME ZONE = 15° L. AND DIVIDE 360°/15° WE GET 24 TIME ZONES; 1 FOR EACH HOUR OF THE DAY
O GREENWICH MEAN TIME (UT) IS MASTER REFERENCE TIME FOR ALL POINTS ON EARTH AT 0 LONGITUDE AKA PRIME MERIDIAN
O INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE 180° LONGITUDE FOR THE MOST PART.
O CLOCK MOVES BACK 24 HOURS OR 1 DAY IF HEADING WEST TOWARD AMERICA
O MOVE 1 DAY FORWARD IF HEADING EAST TOWARD ASIA (FROM DATE LINE)
USING THE MAP BELOW COMPLETE THE WORKSHEET
FAST FIVEO NAME 2 TYPES OF MAP PROJECTIONO LIST 1 DISADVANTAGE & 1
ADVANTAGE OF EACH OF THE 2O WHAT IS THE INTERNATIONAL DATE
LINEO HOW MANY TIME ZONES ARE THERE
IN THE WORLD?O WHAT ARE 3 WAYS TO WRITE SCALE?
5 THEMES OF GEO.O PLACE: NAME,
SITE, SITUATION, O LOCATION:
ABSOLUTE & RELATIVE
O REGION: FORMAL, NODAL (FUNCTIONAL), VERNACULAR
O MOVEMENT: PEOPLE, IDEAS, DISEASE, GOODS ETC.
O HUMAN ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION
TOPONYM, SITE & SITUATIONO PERSON, RELIGION, ORIGIN OF
SETTLERS ETC. – NAME/TOPONYM
O SITE: PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
O SITUATION: LOCATION OF A PLACE RELATIVE TO OTHER PLACES. FINDING AN UNFAMILIAR PLACE & UNDERSTANDING ITS IMPORTANCE
O SHANGHAI – ALONG S. SIDE OF YANGTZE RIVER, SITUATION CRITICAL BECAUSE AT MOUTH OF YANGTZE WHICH FLOWS INTO E. CHINA SEA, LARGEST WORLD PORT
TYPES OF REGIONSO AN AREA OF EARTH DEFINED BY 1
OR MORE DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
O DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER DERIVED THROUGH CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OR REGIONAL STUDIES APPROACH
O BEGAN IN FRANCE 19TH C. & ADOPTED BY AMERICANS, SAUER & PLATT.
O GEOGRAPHERS SEEK TO IDENTIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG COMBO OF CHARACTERISTICS THAT DEFINE REGION
O FORMAL OR UNIFORM: SHARE IN 1 OR MORE COMMONALITIES SUCH AS LANGUAGE, CROP, CLIMATE.
O MUST RECOGNIZE DIVERSITY WHEN MAKING GENERALIZATIONS
O EXAMPLES: MONTANA, RED STATES, WHEAT BELT ETC.
VERNACULAR & FUNCTIONAL (NODAL)O PERCEPTUAL REGION AREA
THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE EXISTS AS A PART OF THEIR CULTURAL ID; LITTLE ITALY, THE SOUTH ETC.
O ECO, CULTURAL & ENVIRON-MENTAL FEATURES DISTINCT IN S. U.S
O FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZED AROUND A NODE OR FOCAL POINT SO THE CHARACTERISTIC (AIRLINE HUB) THAT DEFINES A FUNCTIONAL REGION DOMINATES AT A CENTRAL FOCUS & DECLINES IN IMPORTANCE OUTWARD.
O TRANSPORTATION, COMMUNI-CATION, ECONOMIC LOCUS, CELL SERVICE
REGIONS OF CULTURE
O CULTURE: “BODY OF CUSTOMARY BELIEFS, MATERIAL TRAITS & SOCIAL FORMS THAT TOGETHER CONSTITUTE THE DISTINCT TRADITON OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE” – IT’S COMPLEX!
O TO CARE ABOUT – ADORE, WORSHIP
O TAKE CARE OF – NURSE, LOOK AFTER
O ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT CULTURAL TRAITS COME FROM: LANGUAGE, RELIGION & ETHNICITY
O THESE 3 ARE SUPERB WAYS OF IDENTIFYING LOCATION OF A CULTURE & MEANS BY WHICH THE VALUES OF THAT CULTURE ARE DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT WORLD
Holi is a festival celebrated by Hindus around the world. Holi marks the beginning of spring, and is usually celebrated at the end of February or early March. Participants in a Holi festival often throw brightly colored powder and scented water at each other.
SPATIAL ASSOCIATION – CRANBERRY PRODUCTION IN THE US
CHECK INO LOCATION IDENTIFIED THROUGH ?O 3 TYPES OF REGIONS?O CULTURE ENCOMPASSES WHAT
PEOPLE CARE ABOUT & WHAT THEY TAKE CARE OF
O SPATIAL ASSOCIATION: ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS: CLIMATE, SOIL, WATER, AVAILABLE LAND. GREEN AREAS CONSIDERED THE CRANBERRY REGION
