Atheistic World View

A view of the world which asserts that there is no creator and no absolute truth.

Biome

A regional ecosystem, divided into forest, grassland, desert and tundra.

A view of the world that believes: 1) God created the world. 2) Man sinned and therefore the entire world is affected by sin. 3) Christ, God's son, came to the world to die to take on the sin of the world. 4) Christ rose from the dead, overcoming the curse of sin and providing redemption for all things.

Christian World View

Climate

Term for weather conditions at a particular location over a long period of time (example Northern Russia has a cold climate) The five different climates are relative to their location to the equator. The closer they are located to the equator the warmer the

Compare the different climate

Continent

a land mass above water on the earth (there are seven)

Convection
the transfer of heat in the atmosphere by upward motion in the air

Ecosystem

an interdependent community of plants and animals

A warming of the ocean water along the west coast of South America (Usually around Christmas)

El Nino

Equator
imaginary line that runs around the earth halfway between the North and South Poles; used as the starting point to measure degrees of north and south latitude

Erosion

the result of weathering on matter, created by the action of wind, water, ice or gravity.
1) Digging up the grass lands to plant wheat causing the dust bowl

Give three different ways humans have impacted geography?

Give three examples of how humans have adapted to climate and weather over time?

2)Making dams causing people and animals down stream to have problems from lack of water flow 3)cutting down rainforests to make structures and making animals become extinct 4)Heat in the atmosphere may increase the interaction of diverse weather systems, resulting in more hurricanes and typhoons. 5)Changes in water temps may make animals migrate to new locations. Manatees, for instance, are marine mammals native to tropical waters. As temperatures increase, manatees have been migrating as far north as New York City, New York.

1) The types of crops they grow. 2) The types of animals they raise. 3) The types of businesses they operate. 4) Biologically, adapting to different temperatures and altitudes.

Hemispheres
Each half of globe is called a hemisphere; because the earth is round a hemisphere can be north, south, east or west.

Highlands

An area of a country where there are lots of mountains.

1) God created the world and controls all processes within the world. 2) God is a god of order. All processes on this earth create order and balance.

How does a Christian world view apply to geography? How is the equator different than the Prime Meridian? How many continents are there? Human Geography

Equator divides the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The Prime Meridian divides the Eastern and Western hemispheres.

Seven

one kind of geography, the analysis of human population, its cultures, and activities, it's effect on the physical world

Latitude
Imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator. The equator is zero degrees line for latitude. (Also called parallels)

Longitude
Imaginary great circle passing through the North and South pole. The prime meridian is the zero-degree line for longitude. (Also called Meridians)

Name the five different climate regions Name the seven continents

Tropical Dry Mid-latitude High-latitude Highlands

"Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia, in order of size. Asia also being the most populous."

Name two positive ways and two negative ways climate and weather have impacted humans?

Negative: 1)Global warming will cause health problems to many people because of poor air quality, 2)If it is hot out then the snow will melt quicker causing greater floods. Positive:1) If it is warmer out less people are likely to die from freezing. 2) People will not need to rely no oil to keep them warm in the winter

Ocean Currents

ocean streams that are propelled by prevailing winds and earth rotation
the study of the world's physical features, such as landforms, bodies of water, climates, soils, and plants

Physical Geography

Plains

large areas of fairly level or gently rolling land

Plate Tectonics
The internal forces that shape the earth's surface that begin beneath the lithosphere.

Plateaus
A broad, flat area of land higher than the surrounding land

Precipitation

Falling water droplets in the form of rain, sleet, snow or hail. (Depends on the amount of water vapor in the air)

Prime Meridian
Imaginary line dividing the earth east and west. Sometimes it is called the "Greenwich Meridian Line" because it runs through Greenwich, England.

Rain Forest

a forest region located in the Tropical Zone with a heavy concentration of different species of broadleaf trees.

Savanna
Tropical grassland region, the flat, grassy, mostly treeless plains (other areas might call the same thing a prairie, steppe or a pampas).

Seasons

Earth has seasons because its axis is tilted as it moves around the Sun.The four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), beginning astronomically at an equinox or solstice, but geographically at different dates in different climates

Tributaries
small river or stream that flows in to a larger river or stream; a branch of the river

Volcano

an opening in the earth, usually raised, through which gases and lava escape from the earth's interior

Weather

The condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place.

Because of the Continental Drift people become isolated and then they have to adapt. If you end up in a small place like a tiny island you may always stay there. If you are in a large place like North or South America you can move around. Your food, clothing and even your technology can be effected by the landform on which you live. Live on a little island it might be harder to get the internet, newest foods and access to help. People built their civilizations around water so they could survive. They could fish, transport goods and material. Other animals will also come to drink at the water so that would allow for other types of food to eat. Having water allowed for plats and trees to grow, allowing for shelters to made to live in. Being by water can also cause problems like flooding when snow melts, rivers and lakes rise.

What has the impact of landforms been on human development? What has the impact of waterways been on human development?

What is the difference between Latitude and Longitude?

Latitude: Runs parallel to the equator. The equator is zero degrees line for latitude. Longitude: Runs through the North and South pole. The prime meridian is the zero-degree line for longitude

Which direction do longitude lines run? Which direction do the latitude lines run? Wind Belts

Longitude lines run from the North pole to the south pole, up and down.

Latitude lines run around the center parallel to the equator.

Winds that blow in six distinct directions.
