The document discusses four ways that the Caribbean region is defined:
1. Geologically, as being located on the Caribbean Plate between the North and South American Plates. This results in shared tectonic, volcanic, and seismic features like earthquakes and hurricanes.
2. Geographically, as the area washed by the Caribbean Sea, including the Lesser Antilles islands, Central America, and northern South America.
3. Historically, as the territories colonized by European powers like the British, French, Spanish, and Dutch and that experienced plantation slavery.
4. Politically, as independent states, associated states that enjoy rights from their governing country, and colonial dependencies directly governed by other countries

Introduction
World Regional Geography
What is Geography?Geography is the study of…. the earth, its features (physical and human-made) and the interaction between these featuresGeographers ask…WHERE are things located? and-WHY are things where they are? Geography is a multidisciplinary discipline
What is World Regional Geography?The study of the world by breaking it down into realms and regionsA realm is…The largest unit the inhabited world can be dividedThe result of the interaction between human societies and natural environmentsA representation of the great population clusters of humankindA changing entity over timeMarked by transition zones at its boundaries with other realms
We will be studying the world by realms and regions. For example, one of the realms we will be studying is North America. North America is a realm and is also broken down into regions that we will also study: The Maritime Northeast, The South, etc.

What is World Regional Geography?A region is…An area on the earth’s surface marked by specific criteria that we establishSpecific criteria in this class focus on four themes: physical, cultural, economic, and historical geographyAll regions have…Area BoundariesLocationAbsolute location – specific measurable point on the earth’s surfaceRelative location – location with respect to other regions
What is World Regional Geography?All regions include statesA state is…a politically organized territory that is administered by a sovereign government and is recognized by a significant portion of the international communityA state must contain:a permanent resident populationan organized economya functioning internal circulation system

Your book and geographers- refer to countries as states.
How would you divide the world?
Think about what kind of criteria you would use to divide the world and try to come up with a division scheme on your own. The book divides the world based on geographic similarities that include physical (the natural environment), cultural, economic, historical, and political (in some cases).

Themes of the Course:
Physical GeographyPhysical Geography…The study of the earth’s natural landscapes (the array of landforms and physical features that constitute the earth’s surfaceWhat are some examples of natural landscapes?Physiography – synonymous with physical geography; literally means landscape description
Themes of the Course:
Physical GeographyQuestion 1: Why do we have mountains, earthquakes and volcanoes in some places and not others?Enter the Theory of Plate TectonicsThe Theory of Plate Tectonics states that…the world is divided into large slabs of rock called tectonic plates that move slowly over the earth’s surfacethe movement of these tectonic plates create mountains and cause earthquakes and volcanoes along their boundariesTypes of tectonic plate boundaries:Convergent – two plates collide, one plate dips below another plate (subduction), creating mountains and causing e.
Glossary of Important Terms - The Family.docxDeighton Gooden
Terms and definitions relation relating to the family. These words were taken from a combination of textbooks used by Caribbean students in preparation for their CXC CSEC regional exams.
A reproduced article from The Jamaica Observer's Study Centre Lecture Series (September 27, 2016). The article was written by Mrs Charmains Fuller-Wallace, teacher at St. Andrew Technical High School in Kinston Jamaica. I re-typed the article for the benefit of students who choose this topic (Tourism) in the CXC CSEC examination. This article should only be used for educational purposes only.
The impact of the Europeans on the Tainos in JamaicaDeighton Gooden
This handout highlights ten ways that the Tainos' were brutalized by the Spaniards shortly after their arrival to Jamaica. The informtion is applicable to the other islands for their treatments meted out to the natives were throughout the Caribbean region was uniform.
History/Social Studies multiple-choice questions and map work on the early inhabitants of the Caribbean. The focus is on the Mongoloids and the Tainos.
Concept map. The definitions of various types of groups are given, and students are required to write in the most appropriate answer that fits each definition. The intention is to have students become familiar with the types of groups and how to differentiate each.
This concept map provides the definition of certain terms relating to the family, specifically marriage terms. Students are to research the definitions to find the correct terms that match the definition.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Objectives of this Lesson Identify and describe the four means by which the Caribbean is defined. Show how these definitions impact the people of the region.
3. Brief Glimpse of the Earth’s makeup In composition, the Earth is made of three parts. At the center of the Earth, a body of intensely hot iron and nickel forms the core. A less dense and much larger middle sphere is made of materials rich in iron, magnesium and calcium comprises the mantle. The outermost layer is a thin veneer of lighter rocks called the crust. The crust beneath the oceans is composed of heavy, dark volcanic rocks such as basalt. Continental crust is composed mostly of lighter rocks rich in silica such as granite.
10. The Geological Caribbean is not widely used as a means of defining the region. It however shows that there are deep seated structural features which identify commonalities. It is defined by the Caribbean Plate and experiences similar tectonic, seismic and volcanic features and processes.
11. The Caribbean is situated in a geologic feature known as the Caribbean Plate which has boundaries or margins with other plates nearby. A plate is a large piece of crust (on which there may be both land and ocean) and it moves in relation to other plates. On the whole the earth is made up of six or seven plates and many smaller ones. The Caribbean Plate is a small plate.
12. Geological commonalities Earthquakes – the region is in a known earthquake zone. Hurricane – the region experiences hurricanes yearly from June 1 – Nov. 30 Volcanic activities – especially in the Lesser Antilles (the basis of their formation)
14. Diagram of how an earthquake operates FOCUS - The point within the earth where the actual fault slip occurs, causing the release of earthquake energy. It may be at the surface of the earth, or many miles below the earth's surface. When a fault slips, the waves radiate in all directions.
15. Diagram of how an earthquake operates EPICENTER - The point on the surface of the earth that is directly above the focus. Once the earthquake energy reaches the epicenter, it travels along the surface of the earth in all directions. It can cause waves on the surface of the earth that will vary in amplitude depending on the composition of the earth surface.
17. This describes the area washed by the Caribbean Sea and is often described as the Caribbean Basin
18. The Geographical Caribbean It would therefore include most of the islands of the Lesser and Greater Antilles as well as the mainland territories of Central America and Northern South America such as Venezuela and Columbia.
20. The Historical Caribbean This describe the area that saw the impact of European colonization, slavery, indentureship and the plantation system. This refers to all the territories, so that one means by which we can define the Caribbean is by identifying those countries that experienced the rule of specific European countries, namely the English, French, Dutch and the Spanish. The common feature in this definition is that they share the same historical or cultural experiences.
22. The legend indicates the territories that were under the control of the various European powers. It should be noted that Guyana (which was first under Dutch control, then English), Surinam (which was under Dutch control) and French Guiana (which is STILL under French control) are not represented in the previous slide. They are a part of the Caribbean because they share the same historical/cultural experiences as all those which are represented.
