  1. World Geography Six Essential Elements

  2. The Six Essential Elements • The World in Spatial Terms • Places and Regions • Physical Systems • Human Systems • Environment and Society • The Uses of Geography

  3. 1.The World in Spatial Terms • Using maps and images (pictures) to gather information from a spatial perspective (view)

  4. 1.The World in Spatial Terms • Example: • Imagine the route (path) you take home from school everyday.

  5. 1.The World in Spatial Terms • Example: • Following a road map to drive on vacation

  13. 3.Physical Systems • Example: • Water can physically shape the Earth.

  14. 3.Physical Systems • Example: • Erosion can shape the earth

  15. 3.Physical Systems • Example: • Food Chain

  16. 4.Human Systems • The characteristics of humans and how we are all connected.

  17. 4.Human Systems • Example: • Our economies connect us. We share business and stores.

  18. 4.Human Systems • Example: • The clothing you buy comes from all around the world.

  26. 6.The Uses of Geography • Example: • We know how pollution destroys the Earth, so now we can do something about it.

  27. Geographic Markers

  28. Hemispheres • There are four hemispheres • Northern • Southern • Eastern • Western

  29. Hemispheres • The Equator separates the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

  30. Hemispheres • The Prime Meridian separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

  31. Continents • There are seven continents • North America • South America • Europe • Africa • Asia • Australia • Antarctica
