3 Section 1 CHAPTER 1 Notes - study of the distribution & interaction of physical /human features on earth. (p. 5) MR. LIP M : How do people, ideas, and products move from one location to another? Geographers look at how people compete or cooperate to change or control aspects of the earth to meet their needs. (p. 9) Three types: 1. Linear Distance (how far a person, idea or product travels) 2. Time Distance 3. Psychological Distance (the way people view distance) Examples: public transportation, commuting, internet, jobs, exports/imports R. Region: How are areas similar or different? A earth s region would have more than one characteristic that unifies them. (p. 7-8) Three types: 1. Formal Region - a limited number of related characteristics. Examples - Sahara,(a desert with a specific climate, vegetation, land use) Africa, Asia, Latin America, etc. 2. Region - organized around a set of interactions and connections between places like a hub or central place. Examples - cities and their suburb like Houston, Katy, Sugarland, school zones 3. Perceptual Region - region in which people perceive, or see the characteristics of the egion in the same way. L : Where is it? (p. 6) Examples - American Midwest, Dixie, Breadbasket, New England, South, Rust Belt Two types: 1. Location - the exact place on earth where a geographic feature found using latitude and longitude or a grid system. 2. Location - how a place is related to its surrounding environment Examples - Katy is west of Houston, Minuet Maid is in downtown Houston I : How do people relate to the physical world? (p. 8) People use environment to meet their needs, alter environment & live with what they can t control like climate. Examples: - technology, water / land use, pollution, homes, environmental hazards P : What is it like? Includes the physical features (landforms, climate and vegetation) and cultural / human characteristics (religion, languages, government, economic activities) of a location. (p. 7)

4 Vocabulary: geography, equator, prime meridian, latitude/parallels, hemisphere, longitude/meridians Section 2 Geographer s tools include maps, globes, and data. The oldest known map is a Babylonian clay tablet created about 2,500 years ago. : is a three-dimensional representation of the earth. Map: a two-dimensional graphic representation of parts of the earth s surface. (p. 10) Maps show the natural landforms and bodies of water in a specific area. (p. 20) Maps show features on the earth s surface that humans created like cities, countries, states, territories or provinces. (p. 20) Topographic Map - representation of natural and man-made features on earth (p. 10) Vocabulary: cartographer, map projection Satellites are used by geographers to provide data. Best known are - Landsat and GOES. (p. 12) is a series of satellites that orbit more than 100 miles above the earth and within 16 days can scan the entire earth. (Geostationary Operation Environment Satellite) that flies in an orbit at the same speed as the earth s rotation which is useful in forecasting the weather. or Global Positioning System was first developed by the military / a series of 24 satellites called Navstars which beam information to the earth. (absolute location) or Geographic Information System - stores information about the world in a digital database and the user can visualize the use of earth in different ways. Used to determine best location for businesses, airports, and etc. latitude W E N S Geography Skills Handbook: (p ) longitude Map elements: TODALSIGS Title, Orientation, Date, Author, Legend/, Scale, Index, Grid (latitude/longitude), Source, and colors is a way of showing the curved surface of the earth on a flat map.

5 LOCATION "Where are we?" is the question that the theme Location answers. Location may be absolute or it may be relative. These locations, whether relative or absolute, may be of people or places. Absolute location is a latitude and longitude (a global location) or a street address (local location). Paris, France is 48 o 51' North latitude and 2.20' East longitude Relative locations are described by landmarks, time, direction or distance from one place to another and may associate a particular place with another. Katy is near Houston. PLACE What kind of place is it? What do you think of when you imagine China? Japan? Russia? Saudi Arabia? Places have both human and physical characteristics. Physical characteristics include mountains, rivers, soil, beaches, wildlife, soil and etc. Human characteristics religion, languages, government, economic activities, clothing/homes, and etc. HUMAN ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTION (HEI) How do humans and the environment affect each other? We change the environment and then sometime Mother Nature changes it back like floods in the mid-west, Hurricanes, earthquakes and mudslides. There are 3 key concepts to human/environmental interaction: Humans depend to the environment. Humans modify the environment. Humans adapt to the environment. People depend on the Tennessee River for our water and transportation. People modify our environment by heating and coolings buildings for comfort. People adapt to the environment by wearing clothing that is suitable for summer and winter; rain and shine. In the Sudan even though everything is seemingly barren, the land sustains farmers and nomadic herders. People and animals have adapted to a hot, dry climate. MOVEMENT The movement of people, the import and export of goods, and mass communication have all played major roles in shaping our world. People everywhere interact. They travel from place to place and they communicate. We live in a global village and global economy. People interact with each other through movement. We interact with each other through travel, trade, information flows ( ) and political events. Not only do humans move but also ideas move; fashions move; fads move. REGION A region is the basic unit of study in geography. A region is an area that displays a coherent unity in terms of the government, language, or possibly the landform or situation. Regions are human constructs that can be mapped and analyzed. There are three basic types of regions: Formal regions are those that are designated by official boundaries, such as cities, states, counties, and countries. For the most part, they are clearly indicated and publicly known. Formal regions can be separated by either culture or landscape. Formal regions also include climate regions (Mediterranean climate); landform regions(appalachian); or economic regions (wheat belt of Kansas) Functional regions are defined by their connections. For example, the circulation area for a major city area is the functional region of that paper. Function includes trade, highways, river systems, etc. Perceptual regions are perceived regions as evidenced by the widespread acceptance and use of a special regional name such as Bible Belt, "The South," "The Midwest," Dixie, "Middle East." they have no formal boundaries but are understood in our mental maps of the world.

6 GIS - Geographic Information System or Geospatial Information System Examples of GIS use: A children's clothing company might want to find ZIP Codes with many young families with relatively high income. Public health officials might want to map the numbers of physicians per 1,000 people in each census tract to identify which areas are adequately served, and which are not. A district attorney would monitor drug-related arrests to find out if an arrest is within 1,000 feet of a school--if so, stiffer penalties apply. A meteorologist might study the paths of hurricanes to predict where and when they might occur in the future. Using GIS technology, it is possible to combine agricultural records with hydrography data to determine which streams will carry certain levels of fertilizer runoff. Use GIS to prove that developing a certain area for new homes might destroy valuable wildlife habitat or interfere with animal migrations. The developer might use GIS to determine what areas are best for development, using such factors as ease of commuting to business areas, proximity to beaches or parks, or safety from such disasters as flooding and wildfires. Another use for GIS technology is to search for oil, gas, and mineral deposits, while architects and engineers use it to make decisions about designing roadways and bridges.
