How do geographers use latitude and longitude?

They create a global grid to help pinpoint locations

How does plate movement create mountains?

When plates push against each other, pressure makes them bend to make mts

What causes the seasons?

Earth’s tilt relative to its orbit around the sun

How do oceans affect global temperatures?

Currents move warm water from the tropics to areas with higher latitude

How does weathering shape mountains?

Over time, material is broken down from mountains, changing their shapes.

What is the difference between cardinal directions and intermediate directions?

Intermediate directions are in between the cardinal directions

What is the difference between an equinox and a solstice?

Equinox is when day & night are equal, & solstice is when days are longest

How does altitude affect temperatures at different latitudes?

High altitudes create cool temperatures even at low latitudes

4
How do geographers use latitude and longitude?
They create a global grid to help pinpoint locations
They help keep a map organized into hemispheres
They are used to show directions like a compass
They are used to help navigate over long distances
5
What type of information does a physical map always show?
where population lives
national boundaries
roads and restaurants
natural features
6
Winds, cloud cover, precipitation, and the temperature are examples of things that shape the daily __________ of a place
weather
climate
precipitation
temperature
7
How does plate movement create mountains?
Pressure created by moving plates forces magma through the crust making mts
When plates slide against each other at faults, the pressure forms mountain
When plates move away from each other, the pressure creates mountains.
When plates push against each other, pressure makes them bend to make mts
8
What causes the seasons?
Earth’s tilt relative to its orbit around the sun
Earth’s changing distance from the sun during its orbit
changes in the path of Earth’s orbit around the sun
the sun’s changing energy output each year
9
How do oceans affect global temperatures?
Ocean currents move warm water into nice bowls of ocean soup
The water cycle moves throughout the ocean and cycles cooler temperatures.
Prevailing winds blow across the ocean and create tropical cyclones.
Currents move warm water from the tropics to areas with higher latitude
10
One cause of rapid population growth in the past 200 years is ...
urbanization
better medical care
lower birth rates
poor sanitation
11
How does weathering shape mountains?
Removing material on Earth’s surface to somewhere else, it changes mts
It creates pressures in Earth’s crust that cause it to bend.
Over time, material is broken down from mountains, changing their shapes.
The friction between plates of Earth’s crust pushes up mountains.
12
What is the most accurate way for geographers to map the continents and oceans as they really are?
Digital Maps
Global Positioning Systems
Map Projections
Globe
13
Which of the following is an example of a renewable energy resource?
Petroleum
Coal
Wind

14
What is the difference between cardinal directions and intermediate directions?
Intermediate directions are not found on a compass
Cardinal directions are directions like northeast and southwest
Cardinal directions help pinpoint locations on the earth
Intermediate directions are in between the cardinal directions
15
Which of these causes of migration is an example of a pull factor?
poverty
education
warfare
migration
16
What is the difference between an equinox and a solstice?
An equinox is like a unicorn
Equinox is when day & night are equal, & solstice is when days are longest
A solstice happens twice a year, but the equinox only happens once a year.
An equinox is when nights are longest, but a solstice is when the days are
17

living things
natural features
people and the environment
animals
18
How does altitude affect temperatures at different latitudes?
Low latitudes, like near the Equator, can have warm air at high altitudes.
High altitudes create cool temperatures even at low latitudes
As altitude and latitude rise, temperatures go up.
High latitudes have warm air temperatures at high altitudes
19
What are some of the reasons that push people to move out from one place to another?
Pull factors
Religious freedom
Good job opportunities
War
