  1. Mapping Earth’s Surface UNIT 2

  2. What types of landforms are around here? • Homework check • Homework review • Homework quiz • What is the land like around BFS? • Use your smart phones to research one city outside of Korea. Use each vocabulary term to describe what the city’s land is like. • Topography • Elevation • Landform • Plain • Mountain

  3. Bellwork Quiz A landform that has high elevation but a mostly flat surface is a • Plain • Mountain • Mountain range • Plateau

  4. BFS environment • Draw a small square to represent BFS. • Choose a word a word that describes the type of land near your school (flat, hilly, mountainous) and write it next to the square. • Use a compass to determine which direction is north. Assume north is the top of your paper. • Draw a picture of what the land is like 5 km in each direction. Describe in words what you drew using terms like flat, hilly etc. • -Scale and Key Practice

  5. Why do we use maps? • Homework check/homework review • Homework quiz • Share landforms from our chosen countries • Glue in map to your notebook and follow the instructions! • If time get started on the history of maps reading.

  6. Map Analysis Questions • Color the water light blue, color the mountains purple, color the land light green, and color the key yellow. • What is the name of the largest island? • What is the name of the ocean in the map? • Which island is farthest west? • Which island is farthest south? • About how many miles is it from Hilo to Captain Cook? • What direction would you travel to go from Hilo to Mauna Kea?

  7. What is the history of maps? • Read about different historical maps with a partner • Make your map foldable

  8. Bellwork Quiz • Over time map technology has allowed us to see the world more accurately. Which maps were improved by the printing press? • Early Maps • Medieval Maps • Renaissance Maps • Modern Maps

  9. Bellwork Quiz The equator divides the Earth into two equal halves called: • Globes • Hemispheres • Degrees • Pixels

  10. History of Maps Foldable Step 1: Title the page “History of Maps” Step 2: Make your foldable and glue it on the page Step 3: The flaps should be labeled: Early Maps, Medieval maps, Renaissance maps, and Modern maps (leave room for pictures!) Step 4: Draw a sample map from each era on the front flap. Step 5: The inside flap should describe the type of map in your OWN WORDS. Step 6: On the bottom of the foldable you should answer the question: How has map technology influenced our view of the Earth?

  11. How do we use latitude and longitutude? • Latitude and Longitude notes • Latitude and longitude practice game in pairs • Paste globe into journal: Label • North Pole • South Pole • Equator • Prime Meridian • Western Hemisphere • Eastern Hemisphere • Northern Hemisphere • Southern Hemisphere • longitude • latitude

  12. Unnderstanding Longitude & Latitude

  13. Typical Graph • This is an example of a typical graph we are all familiar with. • The graph is made up of different “points” with lines that connect the points.

  14. Typical Graph Y axis • Each point has two values: • The “X” value that runs along the horizontal “X” axis • The “Y” value that runs along the vertical “Y” axis X axis

  15. Typical Graph • X value is always stated first • Followed by the Y value • The “origin” is the point where the 2 axes intersect with a value of (0,0) Y (3,8) (9,5) X (0,0)

  16. Typical Graph • A point can also have negative (-) values • Negative X values are to the left of the origin (0,0) • Negative Y values are below the origin Y (-X,+Y) (+X,+Y) (0,0) X (-X,-Y) (+X,-Y)

  17. East West, North South on The Earth • Let the X axis be the Equator. • Let the Y axis be the Prime Meridian that runs through Greenwich outside of London. • Latitude and Longitude are the 2 grid points by which you can locate any point on earth. Y X

  18. East West, North South on the Earth N • Let each of the four quarters then be designated by North or South and East or West. W E S

  19. East West, North South on the Earth • The N tells us we’re north of the Equator • The S tells us we’re south of the Equator. • The E tells us that we’re east of the Prime Meridian. • The W tells us that we’re west of the Prime Meridian. (N, W) (N, E) (S, W) (S, E)

  20. East West, North South on the Earth • That means all points in North America will have a North latitude and a West longitude because it is North of the Equator and West of the Prime Meridian. (N, W) Prime Meridian

  21. East West, North South on the Earth • What would be the latitude and longitude directions in Australia? ? Prime Meridian If you said South and East , you’re right!

  22. What is Latitude? • Latitude is the distance from theequator along the Y axis. • All points along the equator have a value of 0 degrees latitude. • North pole = 90°N • South pole = 90°S • Values are expressed in terms of degrees. 90°N Y X 90°S

  23. What is Longitude? • Longitude is the distance from the prime meridian along the X axis. • All points along the prime meridian have a value of 0 degrees longitude. • The earth is divided into two parts, or hemispheres, of east and west longitude. Y X 180°W 180°E

  24. What is Longitude? • The earth is divided into 360 equal slices (meridians) • 180 west and 180 east of the prime meridian Y X 180°W 180°E

  25. So Where is (0,0)? • The origin point (0,0) is where the equator intersects the prime meridian. • (0,0) is off the western coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean.

  26. See If You Can Tell In Which Quarter These Longitude and Latitudes Are Located • 1. 41°N, 21°E • 2. 37°N, 76°W • 3. 72°S, 141°W • 4. 7°S, 23°W • 5. 15°N, 29°E • 6. 34°S, 151°E A B D C

  27. Let's See How You Did! • 1. B • 2. A • 3. C • 4. C • 5. B • 6. D

  28. Practice game with your partner! • Which continent is: • 20 degrees S, 60 degree W • 40 degrees N, 100 degrees E • 60 degrees N, 120 degrees W • 50 degrees N, 20 degrees E • 20 degrees S, 0 degrees • 80 degrees S, 60 degrees E

  29. Answers • South America • Asia • North America • Europe • Africa • Antarctica

  30. Bellwork quiz The distance in degrees east or west of the prime meridian is called: • Hemisphere • Equator • Latitude • Longitude

  31. How were the borders of the United States decided? • Review board • United States boundary case study p.20 • Analysis questions #s 1-4 • Get notebooks set up for homework

  32. Welcome back! • In your notebook answer the following question: • If you were in charge of deciding where the state borders would be for an area of land, HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE WHAT THEY WOULD BE?

  33. Reading Check/Prediction… • Reading check page 26 • What information does a topographic map give you? • Reading check page 27 • How do you think steep slopes are represented on a topographic map? • Reading check page 30 • What are some uses for a topographic map?

  34. How can we read topographic maps? • Analyze topographic map #1 • Page 29 questions 1-6, EXCEPT 5 • Analyze topographic map #2 • Next slide • Vocabulary Word Game

  35. Bellwork Quiz • How can you tell if there is a STEEP mountain on a topographic map? • A. The contour lines are CLOSE together • B. The contour lines are FAR apart • C. There are different color lines for steepness • D. There is no way to tell!

  36. -What do close contour lines mean? -What do spread out contour lines mean? -What information can you conclude from this map? -How tall is Mr. Passaconway peak?

  37. How can you MAKE a topographic map? • Collect your mountain • Make a topographic map! (page 31) • Analysis questions: • Compare your map with the clay landforms. How are they alike? How are they different? • Looking at your topographic map, how can you tell which parts of your model have a steep slope? A gentle slope? • How can you tell from the map which point on the hill is the highest? • How could you improve your map as a model of the landform?

  38. Time to create! • Make a clay model of your topographic map. • Study the picture • Make a sketch • Make your model • Describe in words • Review for quiz!

  39. Review • Page 33 #s 1,2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, • Page 34 #s 12, 14, 16, 17, 20, 22, • Page 35 #s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, • Name 4 important technological advances for MAPPING.
