  1. Warm-Up (Bottom of IN Page 22) • The acronym MR. HELP can be used to remember the 5 Themes of Geography. Copy the acronym down (see below) and try to fit in the 5 Themes of Geography we’ve discussed. M____________ R ____________ H ____________ E ____________ L ____________ P ____________

  2. IN Page 25… • Go to page 25 (Themes of Geography Notes) • Highlight each “theme” in one color • Highlight each “geographic question” in another color • Example Location: Where is it? • You will be responsible for knowing both the theme and its corresponding question for your Unit 1 Exam!

  3. Parts of a Map

  4. Map Basics Physical • A map is a flat representation of the Earth • The three basic types of maps we’ll be using include: • Physical Maps: used to show physical land features • Political Maps: used to show political units (countries, states, counties, towns) • Historical/Special Purpose Maps: used to show specific information (battles in a war or where natural resources can be found in a given area) Political Historical

  5. Title • The Title is usually found at the top of the map • Titles can help you figure out what type of map you’re looking at • Titles can also tell you the focus of the map What is the title of this map?

  6. Map Key • A Key or Legend is used to describe the symbols and/or colors on the map • The Key can help you understand the information contained on the map • Keys are also necessary to answer questions about the map

  7. Compass Rose • The Compass Rose shows which way the directions north (N), south (S), east (E) and west (W) point on the map • Long ago, maps were not always oriented the same way! Describe the relative location of Utah using the directions in the Compass Rose.

  8. Scale • The Scale shows the ratios between a unit of length on the map and a unit of distance on the earth • You can use the Scale to find the actual distance between two places on the map

  9. Grid- Latitude & Longitude • Maps show (imaginary) Grid Lines running both north to south and east to west • Grid Lines represent lines of Latitude & Longitude on the map • You can use lines of Latitude and Longitude to pinpoint any place on the globe • Lines of Latitude run EAST to WEST • Lines of Longitude run NORTH to SOUTH

  10. Latitude vs. Longitude • This is a short video about Latitude/Longitude: http://youtu.be/-0c1idtn3e8
