Geography Study of the Earth’s surface and the process
that shapes it, the connection between places, and the complex relationship between people
and their environments.

2 ways to show the Earth in a smaller Scale
Globes – Most accurate because the Earth is a Sphere and so is a Globe.
![Page 9: Geography Study of the Earth’s surface and the process that shapes it, the connection between places, and the complex relationship between people and](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d945503460f94a7c0e8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2nd way to show the Earth in a smaller scale is………
Maps – are flat and to put the round earth on a flat surface distortion occurs. This means some parts of a Map needs to be shrunk and stretched to fit.

Cartographer
One who Creates and Makes maps

4 Essential parts of a Map
1. Title – Name, Date, and description of the Map
![Page 14: Geography Study of the Earth’s surface and the process that shapes it, the connection between places, and the complex relationship between people and](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d945503460f94a7c0e8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
4 Essential parts of the Map 2. Key or Legend – Shows and explains
what symbols mean on a Map.

4 Essential parts of a Map 3. Scale – Compares the distance on the
Map to the actual distance of the Earth.

The Earth is broken into HEMISPHERES
![Page 18: Geography Study of the Earth’s surface and the process that shapes it, the connection between places, and the complex relationship between people and](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d945503460f94a7c0e8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Equator – an imaginary line that separates the Earth into Northern and
Southern Hemispheres.
![Page 19: Geography Study of the Earth’s surface and the process that shapes it, the connection between places, and the complex relationship between people and](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d945503460f94a7c0e8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Prime Meridian – is an imaginary line that separates the Earth into Western
and Eastern Hemispheres.
![Page 20: Geography Study of the Earth’s surface and the process that shapes it, the connection between places, and the complex relationship between people and](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d945503460f94a7c0e8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The other Half of the Prime meridian is the 180th Meridian
International Date Line rest mainly on the 180th Meridian

Other important points on the Earths North and South Poles

The Grid System A systematic way of locating a place.
![Page 23: Geography Study of the Earth’s surface and the process that shapes it, the connection between places, and the complex relationship between people and](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d945503460f94a7c0e8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Grid System is made up of Latitude and Longitude Lines.
![Page 24: Geography Study of the Earth’s surface and the process that shapes it, the connection between places, and the complex relationship between people and](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d945503460f94a7c0e8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Lines of Latitude are imaginary lines that circle the Earth, measure North and South
but run East and West.
Latitude Lines are also called Parallels because they never cross or intersect.
![Page 25: Geography Study of the Earth’s surface and the process that shapes it, the connection between places, and the complex relationship between people and](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d945503460f94a7c0e8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Longitude Lines are imaginary lines that circle earth. They start from North Pole and meet again at the South Pole. Lines measure East and West
but run North and South
Longitude lines are also called Meridians
![Page 26: Geography Study of the Earth’s surface and the process that shapes it, the connection between places, and the complex relationship between people and](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d945503460f94a7c0e8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Together they set up a graph so one can Chart and Locate Places.
