  1. A Spatial Way of Thinking Chapter 2REVIEW

  2. Physical Features- Natural parts of the earth’s surface Which of the following does this map show? • Landforms • Businesses • Vegetation • Population Different Types of Thematic Maps

  3. Climate - Long-term patterns of weather Different Types of Thematic Maps

  4. Vegetation- Trees, plants and crops How can you tell what type of map this is? Different Types of Thematic Maps

  5. Population Density- average number of people who live in a square mile Different Types of Thematic Maps

  6. Economic Activity- actions that relate to buying, selling or making goods and services Different Types of Thematic Maps

  7. Common Landforms- mountains, plains, deserts, volcanoes, plateau • Common Bodies of water- Oceans, lakes, rivers, gulfs, and bays • Elevation- height above sea level • What is a region? • An area with one or more features that _________________________________. Physical Features

  8. Latitude affects climate- the closer you are to the equator- the hotter it will be. As you move away from the equator- it gets colder Precipitation- rain, hail, sleet, snow Highlands (mountains)- the higher you go up the mountain-the colder it will be Climates

  9. Arid=Desert Desert doesn’t mean hot- it means dry! Plants can adapt to extreme environments- plants can even grow in the tundra where it is very cold. Vegetation

  10. Measures crowding Many major cities around the world are located near the water. Why do you think that is? Population Density

  11. Land use shows how people make a living. Example: Farming and mining Natural Resources affect a country’s economy. Examples: coal, iron, uranium, and petroleum Some resources are found in the water (fishing) Economic Activity mAP

  12. On your test you will be asked to label 10 different physical features from page 30. Study your Reading Notes 2.3 and you should be fine for the test. Remember to study these things that we wrote down. Extra credit will be available on tomorrow’s test. Labeling the features
