  2. Connections • Up to this point the PowerPoint presentations have been designed to deliver content • This presentation is designed to stimulate inquiry and analysis • We will examine world maps of the “elements” of geography and look for patterns

  3. Connections • We will now examine maps of: • Landforms • Climate • Soil • Vegetation • Fauna • As we examine these maps look for patterns …

  4. Connections • Patterns – what patterns? • As you look at the maps ask yourselves the following: • Is there a pattern from east to west? • Is there a pattern from north to south? • Is there a pattern from interior to coast?

  5. Connections • Patterns – what patterns? • As you look at the maps ask yourselves the following: • Are mountains related to a specific type of vegetation? • Do certain animals live in specific climate zones? • Are rich soils located in specific regions related to moisture or temperature?

  6. Connections • So many questions … • And I’ll bet you can come up with many more … • all images from http://hum.amu.edu.pl/~zbzw/glob/glob1.htm • unless otherwise indicated

  12. Connections • What do we mean by connections? • Example (not to be used in presentations) • Polar regions and high altitudes exhibit low biodiversity. • This is partly a result of low temperature (energy). • Low temperature results from high albedo. • Note the linking of material from many units in this course.
