Foldables Views of Earth Make the following Foldable to help identify what you already know, what you want to know, and what you learned about the views of the Earth.
Foldables Fold a vertical sheet of paper in half from side to side. Make the front edge about 1.25 cm shorter than the back edge.
Foldables Turn lengthwise and fold into thirds.
Foldables Unfold and cut only the top layer along both folds to make three tabs.
Foldables Label each tab.
Foldables Identify Questions Before you read the chapter, write what you already know about the views of Earth under the left tab of your Foldable, and write questions about what you’d like to know under the center tab. After you read the chapter, list what you learned under the right tab.

Reviewing Main Ideas 1 Landforms • The three main types of landforms are plains, plateaus, and mountains. • Plainsare large, flat areas. Plateaus are relatively flat, raised areas of land made up of nearly horizontal rocks that have been uplifted. Mountains rise high above the surrounding land.
Reviewing Main Ideas 2 Viewpoints • Latitude and longitude form an imaginary grid system that enables points on Earth to be located exactly. • Latitude is the distance in degrees north or south of the equator. Longitude is the distance in degrees east or west of the prime meridian.
Reviewing Main Ideas 2 Viewpoints • Earth is divided into 24 time zones. Each time zone represents a 1-h difference. The International Date Line separates different calendar days.
Reviewing Main Ideas 3 Maps • Mercator, Robinson, and conic projections are made by transferring points and lines on a globe’s surface onto paper. • Topographic maps show the elevation of Earth’s surface. Geologic maps show the types of rocks that make up Earth’s surface. • Remote sensing is a way of collecting information from a distance. Satellites are important remote-sensing devices.
Chapter Review Question 1 What type of mountains form when blocks of Earth’s crust are pushed up? A. fault-block B. folded C. upwarped D. volcanic PS 2.2f

Chapter Review Question 4 The relationship between the distances on a map and those distances on Earth’s surface is called _______. Answer This relationship is the map scale and is often represented as a ratio. PS 1.1f
Chapter Review Question 5 Which method of remote sensing utilizes different wavelengths of light to take pictures of Earth’s surface while maintaining a near-polar orbit? A. GPS B. Landsat C. Imsat D. Lidar PS 2.1
Chapter Review Answer The answer is B. Landsat is a program of Earth-monitoring satellites that detect light reflected off landforms.
Standardized Test Practice Question 1 What type of mountain is represented by the diagram? A. fault-block B. folded C. upwarped D. volcanic PS 2.2f
Standardized Test Practice Answer The answer is A. These mountains are created when blocks of rock move in opposite directions along a fracture, or fault.
Standardized Test Practice Question 2 Which best identifies the location of Jacksonville, Florida? A. 26º N, 80.5º W B. 30º N, 81.5º W C. 43º N, 81.5º W D. 60º S, 81.5º E PSB PS 1
Standardized Test Practice Answer The answer is B. Jacksonville is located in northern Florida. Latitudes are given with respect to the equator, so any location north of the equator will be referred to by degrees north latitude.
