1 Global Cultures Unit 1 Chapter 1 Thinking Geographically * Basics of Geography
2 1.1 Geography in Greek means writing about the Earth study the Earth Geography Geographer asks: WHERE things are found on Earth & WHY they are there Geographers can occupy many jobs - Teachers - Government - Environment - Field - Census data
3 2 Main Questions Geographers Ask: Where? Why?
4 Geographers Explain WHERE & WHY PLACE Specific point on Earth with particular characteristics How would you describe Florida? REGION Area of Earth distinguished by cultural & physical features What region do we live in the U.S.? SCALE Relationship between the portion of Earth being studied & Earth as a whole
5 TYPES OF GEOGRAPHY Physical Geography Earth s natural processes and their outcomes. Human Geography Where and why human activities are located where they are?
6 1.3 Foundations of Geography Cartography the science of mapmaking Map - representation, usually on a flat surface (2D)
7 Geographers Use Maps as a Reference tool- find shortest route, avoid getting lost, learn where something is found (usually in atlas or road map) Communications tool- depicting the distribution of human activities or physical features, as well as for thinking about reasons underlying a distribution
8 1.3 To make a map must decide: Map scale Map projection
9 Map Scale Scale Relationship between the portion of Earth being studied & Earth as a whole Ratio between distance on a map & actual distance on the earth Fraction or Ratio numerical ratio between distances on the map & Earth s surface EX. 1/24,000 and 1:24,000 Written statement describes map & Earth distances in words EX. 1 inch equals 1 mile Graphic Bar Bar line shows distance
10 Scale
11
12
13 1.3 To make a map must decide: Map scale Map projection
14 Map Projections Map Projection scientific method of transferring locations on Earth s surface to a flat map No perfect map projection 4 Types of Distortion Shape Distance Relative size Direction
15
16 Geography Review Questions Geographers Ask? Place Region Scale What is the difference between physical & human geography? Cartography Map 2 ways geographers use maps? Map projection
17 1.4 Latitude and Longitude The earth is divided into lots of lines called latitude and longitude. Grid pattern latitude & longitude lines measured in degrees. Latitude Longitude
18 Latitude and Longitude Latitude also called parallels Lines that begin at 0º (Equator) and run north and south to 90º (north/south poles) Longitude also called meridians Lines that begin at 0º (Prime Meridian) and run east and west go 180º (International Date Line)
19 Latitude and Longitude
20 PRIME MERIDIAN = Greenwich Mean Time 0 longitude
21 Grid Pattern Helps You Find... Latitude & longitude lines are measured in degrees. To plot a location, you must determine: 1.Latitude lines 2. Longitude lines Which kind of lines are used to determine time zones?
22 TIME ZONE TELLING TIME Longitude plays an important role in calculating time Telling time using longitude 360 divided by 24 = east/west will enter a new time zone moving east turn clock ahead - moving west turn clock backward Greenwich Mean Time = Prime Meridian at 0º International Date Line - 180º longitude
23
24 1.5 Geographical Technologies Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Computer system that captures, stores, analyzes, and displays geographic data Multiple THEMATIC LAYERS of spatial information
25
26 Geographical Technologies Global Positioning Systems (GPS) System that determines the precise position on Earth Global Navigation Satellite systems use satellites, tracking stations, cell phones, & cell phone towers to pinpoint location Latitude / longitude coordinates for navigation Cell phone tower How is it done? Triangulation use of geometry Time it takes to get a signal from a known location X known rate of signal of speed = Distance Away from the known location that the signal
27 Review Latitude lines are (AKA ) 0 latitude is Longitude lines are (AKA ) 0 longitude is (AKA ) 180 longitude is the How do you plot a location? Which lines are used for time zones? Every degrees is a new time zone Go west you time; go east you time GIS = which is.... GPS = which is... How do geographers use GIS & GPS?
28 1.6 LOCATION Location a particular place Distinctiveness of a particular spot How can location be described? Think of places you want to go Think of your favorite place as a child? Sense of Place Location can be described: Toponym Site Situation
29 LOCATION Toponym name given to a place on Earth Person, religion, ancient history, original settlers, or landscape Place names change over time Lake Zurich Cedar Lake The meanings of regions are often contested. In Montgomery, Alabama, streets named after Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Civil Rights leader Rosa Parks intersect.
30 Place: a unique location Site unique physical characteristics of a place Characteristics include: climate, water sources, topography, soil, vegetation, latitude, and elevation Lower Manhattan Island
31 Cultural Landscape built environment means unique locations
32 Place: a unique location Situation location of a place relative to other places/objects Helps us find an unfamiliar place & understanding its importance
33 1.7 Region - divide into different units Region An area that contains one or more characteristics Unifying & unique cultural or physical characteristics
34 3 Types of Regions: FORMAL REGION Region shares the same characteristic Phenomena's: religion, economic activity, language, government, or cultural trait EXAMPLES: Illinois + IL counties Corn Belt
35 3 types of regions: FUNCTIONAL region Area around a node or focal point importance diminishes outward Examples -
36 Functional & formal Regions Fig. 1-11: The state of Iowa is an example of a formal region; the areas of influence of various television stations are examples of functional regions.
37 3 types of regions: Vernacular region (Perceptual) Area people believe exists Based on individual s perception or feelings Examples - What is the bad side of town? The South has different boundaries
38 What Type of Region is this Map?
39 What Type of Region is this Map?
40 What Type of Region is this Map? Links between large banks & smaller banks in the 1970 s
41 Location Review Can be described 3 ways.... Toponymn Site Situation Region 3 types of regions are.... Formal region Functional region Vernacular region
42 1.8 Scale is a powerful concept because: We can look at places on a local, regional, national, or global scale GLOBAL SCALE look at something affecting the world LOCAL SCALE look at a neighborhood within a city & its unique features Different scales influence one another

64 Pattern Arrangement of objects in space Geometric or Regular pattern: Linear, circular, linear Irregular pattern: Random Did you ever wonder why Midwest cities follow a grid pattern?
65 1.10 Connections between places Connection relationship among people & objects across space More rapid connections reduced the distance between places Hearth (Node) place of origin Question: What are the HEARTHS of civilization? Diffusion process which a characteristic spreads from one place to another Movement of any characteristic
66 EARTH * The source area of any innovation. The source area from which an idea, crop, artifact, or good is diffused to other areas.
67 Diffusion Two Types of Diffusion Relocation Diffusion spread through physical movement from one place to another Expansion Diffusion spread from node / hearth through various means Hierarchical Diffusion spread from persons of authority / power to other persons Contagious Diffusion rapid, widespread diffusion throughout the population Stimulus Diffusion spread of an underlying principle / changed idea
68 Relocation Diffusion Relocation Diffusion spread by physical movement People migrate for political, economic, and environmental reasons * List two of your own examples of relocation diffusion
69 Expansion Diffusion Contagious Hierarchical Stimulus * List one example of contagious diffusion * List one example of hierarchical diffusion * List one example of stimulus diffusion
70 Because Hindus believe cows are holy, cows often roam the streets in villages and towns. The McDonalds restaurants in India feature veggie burgers. Stimulus Diffusion
