2 Continents and Oceans SOL USI. 2a Essential Understanding: Continents are large land masses surrounded by water. List the seven continents: List the five oceans: *Europe is considered a continent even though it is not entirely surrounded by water. The land mass is frequently called Eurasia. 2 G e o g r a p h y

4 Geographic Features of the United States To better understand the geographical regions of North America, it is important to be able to recognize key geographic features when they appear on maps, diagrams, and in pictures and photographs. Both land and water features influenced the course of events in United States history. There are two categories of geographic features: water related and land related. Water Related Features Lakes bodies of water which are completely surrounded by land Rivers large streams of water that flow along a certain path Tributaries rivers or streams that flow into larger bodies of water Gulfs and bays areas of ocean or sea that are partially surrounded by land Land Related Features Mountains large masses of land that rise above the surrounding land Hills area of land, usually rounded in shape, that is higher than the surrounding land but not as high as a mountain Plains large flat areas of land with very few trees Plateaus areas of flat land rising above the surrounding land Islands bodies of land which are completely surrounded by water Peninsulas pieces of land that are mostly surrounded by water or that extend into a body of water These land and water features shaped and influenced the history of the United States in different ways. Trade routes were established along rivers and other waterways because that was the easiest way to transport products. Cities and towns quickly sprang up along these trade routes. As the westward movement progressed in the 1800s, settlers also followed waterways as they made their way across the frontier. Agricultural regions were developed as people found the land suitable for farming. Major fishing industries were made possible by the rivers and oceans located on both the eastern and western coasts. 4 G e o g r a p h y

10 Latitude Notes Equator imaginary line that divides the earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The distance north or south of the equator is called latitude. Lines of latitude are also called parallels (because they never meet) The equator is marked 0 There are 90 between the equator and the North Pole (Marked with an N for North) and 90 between the equator and the South Pole (Marked with an S for South) 10 G e o g r a p h y
11 Longitude Notes Prime Meridian- the imaginary line that divides the earth into the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. Distance east and west is called longitude. The lines of longitude are also called meridians of longitude, because the lines are not parallel; they will eventually meet at the poles. The prime meridian is marked at 0 of longitude. Going east the meridians are marked from 1 to 180 and going west the meridians are marked from 1 to 180. A degree of longitude west of the prime meridian has a W after it. A degree of longitude east of the prime meridian has an E after it. 11 G e o g r a p h y
