Intro unit: Test Review Flashcards
Compass Rose
A symbol on a map that shows the cardinal directions. The cardinal directions are the main compass points—north, south, east, and west.
Title
A _______ tells us what the map is about.
Cartographer/ Map making
Map making is also known as Cartography, they both mean the same thing, this is, using geographical information and transforming it into a map.(They make things smaller than they really are.)
Key/ legend
A list of symbols that appear on the map and they tell you what the symbols on the map mean.
Cardinal Directions
The four main Cardinal Directions are North, East, South, West.
Symbols on a map
Written or printed marks, letters, figures, etc. used to represent objects or information so there are not as many words on the map so it is easier to read.
Scale
Are used on maps as a tool for measuring distances.
Grid
A system of lines/numbers/letters that help you locate destinations on a map easier and faster.
Latitude as it relates to the Equator and Hemispheres
Latitude lines run East and West, and divides the Northern and Southern hemispheres, and goes along with the Equator.
Longitude as it relates to Prime Meridian and Hemispheres
Longitude runs North and South and divides the Eastern and Western hemispheres, and goes along with the Prime Meridian.
Prime Meridian
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude that divides the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Goes North and South
Equator
The Equator is a line of latitude that divides the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Your proximity (how close you are) to the Equator impacts your climate.
Relative Location
Where somewhere is located in relation to somewhere else. Example: Michigan is NORTH of Ohio
7 Continents biggest to smallest (surface area)
- Asia
- Africa
- North America
- South America
- Antarctica
- Europe
- Australia
Map application
Reading and applying map skills
Absolute Location
Exact location on the earth (coordinates). Example: 43N, 56W
Five main components to having a good map.
- Title
- Key/Legend
- Scale
- Compass Rose
- Grid (optional)
- Label
Interpreting maps and graphs
Using a legend/key with symbols and color.
Continents population (biggest to smallest)
- Asia

Culture
Culture is the way of life of a group of people.
Culture Traits
Cultural traits = make up culture

Norms
Unwritten rules of behavior that are considered (un) acceptable to a group or society. Example: it’s a norm to not shout in public places.
Paraphrasing steps in order
- Chunk the text (smaller pieces)
- Read thoughtfully
- THINK
-What did I just read?
-How does it fit with my purpose? - Write
-Short bullets
-In own understanding
Paraphrases ( why is it important)
Paraphrases ( why is it important)
*Putting something (text, videos, audio, images) into your own understanding
*Pulling out information that fits with your topic (relevant)
*Short, succinct bullets
*Paraphrasing is not summarizing - it’s pulling out the main ideas that fit your topic
Applying Relative Location Example
Ex: Florida is North of Mexico
Ex: Nevada is East of California
Oceans and where they are located
Oceans and where they are located
1. Pacific ocean located is west of South Amercica.
2. Atlantic ocean located is North of Anartica
4. Southern ocean located South of Antartcica
5. Arctic ocean located North of Africa.
Relationship of continents to the Prime Meridian and Equator
Relationship of continents to the Prime Meridian and Equator
First, they both help separate the Earth’s four hemispheres (Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western) by dividing the globe into halves. Second, the prime meridian is used to measure distances east and west, while the equator is used to identify the general location of Earth’s continents.
Difference between Absolute and Relative
The difference between Absolute and Relative location is Absolute location is the exact location on earth and Relative location where somewhere is located in relation to somewhere else. **know when you would use absolute location vs relative location (red cross, pilot, military, arch engineer, oil rig captain, ship captain)

How does purpose change your paraphrase.
How does purpose change your paraphrase. Because if your purpose changes then you look for something different to paraphrase.
