Geography: The study of the human and nonhuman features of Earth.
Cardinal Directions: north, east, south, and west. Latitude: the distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured in degrees.
![Page 9: What is Geography? of Geography.pdfI can describe the position of “longitude” and “latitude” on maps. ... I can compare and contrast strengths and weaknesses of different maps](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040521/5e7c208963124615a62359ae/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Degrees: the units that measure angles.
Hemisphere: One half of the Earth. (Western, Eastern, Northern, Southern)
Longitude: The distance east or west of the Prime meridian. It is measured in degrees.

Today’s Goals
Today I want to teach you that geographers use directions to help locate points on Earth’s surface. They have drawn imaginary lines around Earth, dividing it into parts to help pinpoint locations.
![Page 11: What is Geography? of Geography.pdfI can describe the position of “longitude” and “latitude” on maps. ... I can compare and contrast strengths and weaknesses of different maps](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040521/5e7c208963124615a62359ae/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

5 Themes of Geography Vocabulary ● Absolute location: Describes a place’s exact position on Earth in terms of
latitude and longitude● Relative location: The location of a place relative to another place ● Place: the mix of human and nonhuman features at a given location. ● Region: an area with at least one unifying physical or human feature such as
climate, landforms, population, or history. ● Movement: explores how people, goods, and ideas get from one place to
another. ● Human-environment interaction: how people affect their environment, or
their natural surroundings, and how their environment affects them.

Your Learning Targets
● I can identify ways that geographers show and view Earth’s surface.
● I can compare and contrast strengths and weaknesses of different maps.
![Page 38: What is Geography? of Geography.pdfI can describe the position of “longitude” and “latitude” on maps. ... I can compare and contrast strengths and weaknesses of different maps](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040521/5e7c208963124615a62359ae/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Ways to Show Earth’s Surface Vocabulary ● Scale: the area a given space on the map corresponds to in the real world. ● Aerial photographs: photographic images of Earth’s surface taken from the
air. ● Satellite images: pictures of Earth’s surface taken from a satellite in orbit. ● Geographic information systems: computer-based systems that store and
use information linked to geographers and mapmakers but also to government agencies and businesses.
● Distortion: loss of accuracy in the size or position of objects on a map● Projections: a flat map of Earth’s round surface.
![Page 39: What is Geography? of Geography.pdfI can describe the position of “longitude” and “latitude” on maps. ... I can compare and contrast strengths and weaknesses of different maps](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040521/5e7c208963124615a62359ae/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Key Ideas
● Globes, photographs, computer images, and maps are all ways to show and view Earth’s surface.
● Each way of showing Earth’s surface has advantages and disadvantages.
![Page 40: What is Geography? of Geography.pdfI can describe the position of “longitude” and “latitude” on maps. ... I can compare and contrast strengths and weaknesses of different maps](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040521/5e7c208963124615a62359ae/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Globes
● Round in shape, just like Earth● Globes allow us to see the continents and oceans of
Earth as they really are. The only difference is the scale, or the area a given space on the map corresponds to in the real world. ○ For example, one inch on a globe might correspond to
600 miles on Earth’s surface.
![Page 41: What is Geography? of Geography.pdfI can describe the position of “longitude” and “latitude” on maps. ... I can compare and contrast strengths and weaknesses of different maps](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040521/5e7c208963124615a62359ae/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Photographs
● Aerial photographs are photographic images of Earth’s surface taken from the air
● Satellite images are pictures of Earth’s surface taken from a satellite in orbit. ○ Advantage: Show the Earth in great detail ○ Disadvantage: It can be hard to find specific features,
such as roads, on a photograph. For this reason, maps are still the main way to show information.

Geographic Information Systems
● These are computer-based systems that store and use information linked to geographic locations.
● They are useful to mapmakers as well as government agencies and businesses.
![Page 43: What is Geography? of Geography.pdfI can describe the position of “longitude” and “latitude” on maps. ... I can compare and contrast strengths and weaknesses of different maps](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040521/5e7c208963124615a62359ae/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Map Projections
● Showing Earth on a flat surface always brings some distortion, or loss of accuracy in the size or position of objects on a map. (too large, too small, out of place)
![Page 44: What is Geography? of Geography.pdfI can describe the position of “longitude” and “latitude” on maps. ... I can compare and contrast strengths and weaknesses of different maps](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040521/5e7c208963124615a62359ae/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
How To Show Our Round Earth on a Flat Map
1. Which projections are best for seeing the shape of landmasses? Mercator and Robinson show true shape.
2. Which projects are best for seeing the size and landmasses? Equal-area maps and Robinson show true size.

● Compass rose: a diagram of a compass showing direction.
● Scale bar: shows how much space on the map represents a given distance on the land.

Lesson 1.4: Understanding Maps Key Ideas● Maps have parts that help you read them. ● Though different maps show different things about a place, you can use
the same tools to help understand them.
➔ A map’s key explains the symbols and shading on the map. ➔ A map’s compass rose is a diagram of a compass showing direction. ➔ A map’s scale bar shows how much space on a map represents a
given distance on the land.

Reading a Map Reading a Map ● You can read most maps using the key, scale bar, and
other map tools you have learned about.
How can information from a physical map help you understand the drive you will take using a road map?➔ The physical map shows features such as mountains
that could affect driving conditions and time.

Types of Maps Key Ideas
● Maps can show many different kinds of information● Political, physical, and special purpose maps are the main types of maps.
Map projections can be used to show different things about the area they cover. For example, they might represent:
● Physical landscape ● Political boundaries● Ecosystem zones
