  1. Geography Revision Notes Mapping Mind maps, practice exercises, key points to assist revision Recommended links to useful websites

  2. Mapping All maps should have the following: F – Frame A – Arrow indicating direction (North) K – Key T – Title S - Scale

  3. Types of maps Physical maps- show physical features such as mountains, rivers, oceans, lakes Political maps –show countries and cities

  4. Map of Europe

  5. Lines of Latitude & Longitude Lines of latitude are parallel lines that run around the Earth. The centre line is the Equator which divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres Lines of longitude run from north to south. The main line of longitude is called the Prime Meridian or the Greenwich Meridian and runs through Greenwich in London

  6. Mapping Symbols Church station Caravan site camping site picnic site bus station Windmill Golf Course View Point Non-coniferous wood Public Telephone Parking National Trust Light House Nature Reserve Windpump/generator Motorway

  7. Four figure grid referencesLet’s find grid square 21 31 To read a 4 figure grid reference go along to the line number of the first 2 numbers and then go up to the line with the second 2 numbers.

  8. In order to give something a six-figure grid reference, imagine the larger square split into one hundred smaller squares. Then add numbers 1 to 10 between the main lines. 26 25 77 78

  9. To work out the six-figure grid reference, first go along the bottom line and calculate the first three figures. Next, work out the last three figures by going up the side of the square. 26 9 8 So, the six-figure grid reference for the church is ..... 7 6 5 4 3 253 773253 2 1 25 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 77 78 773

  10. Can’t remember which lines to use first? Try to remember this phrase: ‘Go along the corridor, then up the stairs’. c. R. Langley

  11. Rural & Urban Settlements Rural – green fields, open spaces, lots of vegetations, farmlands. Small villages with shops, church, post office, houses, small roads Urban – built up, lots of tall skyscrapers and buildings close together, factories, houses, busy roads, shopping malls and centres, lots of traffic and congestion, pollution,

  12. London Docklands – a changing settlement

  13. WATER Did you know that less than 1% of all the water on Earth can be used by people? The rest is salt water (the kind you find in the ocean) or is permanently frozen and we can't drink it, wash with it, or use it to water plants. As our population grows, more and more people are using up this limited resource. Therefore, it is important that we use our water wisely and not waste it. Taking a shower uses much less water than filling up a bathtub. To save even more water, keep your shower under five minutes long Just by turning off the tap while you brush your teeth in the morning and before bedtime, you can save up to 8 gallons of water! The best time to water your garden is in the early morning or late evening when it's cool outside. Washing your bike or car with a bucket and sponge instead of a hose saves a lot of water.

  14. Mountain Ranges of the world

  15. Making mountains The surface of our world is made up of huge plates of rock. Thesetectonic platesslowly move against each other… Land is pushed up between the plates and forms mountains Plates pushing towards one another When two plates push against each other, earth and rocks are gradually raised up to make arange(or group) of mountains.

  16. Making mountains Thelavarushes out (orerupts). Then it cools down to make solid rock. Over time, the rock builds up in huge piles to make a special kind of mountain called avolcano. A volcano that can still erupt isactive. A volcano that has stopped erupting isextinct.

  17. Mountain weather & visitors Snowline – no plants can survive at this height. Only birds such as eagles at this level Temperature decreases as we go higher, fewer plants mostly heathers & moss, fewer animals Warmest temperatures at base of mountain – lots of green plants, trees, animals & birds The higher you go, the colder the air gets. And different plants and animals do well at different temperatures…
