Class3 Ch2 globes and maps ppt
This document discusses globes, maps, and compasses. It notes that there are seven continents and five oceans on Earth. A map is a representation of Earth or part of it drawn to scale on a flat surface, such as an atlas or wall map. Maps are useful for understanding locations, calculating distances, finding multiple routes, and obtaining information about terrain and landmarks. A compass contains a magnetic needle that points north, allowing one to determine other directions and navigate on Earth or at sea.
Chapter 4 maps ppt
Maps are representations of the Earth's surface drawn to scale on a flat surface. They provide more detailed information than globes and are easier to transport. An atlas is a collection of maps. There are different types of maps like physical, political, and thematic maps. Key components of maps include distance and scale, directions, and symbols. Distance is shown using scales that relate measurements on the map to actual distances. Symbols are used to depict features since exact sizes cannot be drawn. Sketches are rough drawings without scale based on memory while plans are large-scale drawings of small areas.

Different Types of Maps
This document defines and describes several types of maps, including political maps that show boundaries between states and countries, physical maps that highlight natural features like mountains and rivers, relief maps that use shading to show elevation differences, elevation maps that use colors to indicate ranges of elevation, road maps that display routes and transportation information, and historical maps that illustrate how places appeared in the past or changed over time.
Types of maps
There are three main types of maps: physical maps, political maps, and thematic maps. Physical maps show natural features like landforms, bodies of water, and physical borders defined by natural features. Political maps show man-made boundaries like countries, cities, and states. Thematic maps emphasize a particular theme or topic through data visualization using techniques like shading, dots, or symbols. Common thematic maps include population, weather, natural resources, and road maps.

Maps & globes
A globe is a three-dimensional scale model of the Earth that shows the hemispheres, while a map is a flat representation of part of the Earth that can include different types of information through symbols and a compass rose indicating cardinal directions. Maps have keys that explain their symbols and can focus on specific areas from the entire world down to individual states or counties.
THE GLOBE AND ITS FEATURES
The document provides information about globes and maps. It begins by noting that the earliest known globe was constructed by Greek geographer Crates of Mallus. It then defines a globe as a model of the Earth that gives an accurate picture of its surface and shows locations at a smaller scale. The document also states that 29% of the Earth's surface is land consisting of seven continents, while 71% is water covering five oceans. It proceeds to discuss latitude and longitude lines and how they are used to locate positions on the globe.
Map
This document discusses different types of maps and their purposes. It explains that maps are representations of the Earth or parts of it drawn to scale on a flat surface. There are several types of maps, including physical maps that show natural features, political maps that denote boundaries and jurisdictions, and thematic maps that focus on specific information like transportation or natural resources. Key components of maps are scale, which relates distances on a map to distances on the ground; direction, usually indicated by a north arrow; and symbols to represent features. Sketches differ from maps in that they are not drawn to scale. Plans are large-scale maps of small areas.

Grade - 6 - Social Science, Geography Chapter 4. Map Reading
A globe is a spherical model of Earth, of some other celestial body, or of the celestial sphere.
Globes serve purposes similar to some maps, but unlike maps, do not distort the surface that they portray except to scale it down.
A model globe of Earth is called a terrestrial globe.
Weather and climate
Weather refers to atmospheric conditions over a short period of time, while climate describes average weather patterns over many years. In the Philippines, PAG-ASA monitors and forecasts weather by observing elements like temperature, precipitation, winds, and clouds. Latitude, altitude, topography, and proximity to bodies of water all impact climate by influencing how much solar radiation and moisture an area receives. Different wind systems like the trade winds and polar winds also affect Philippine weather and seasonal climate patterns.
World Continents And Oceans
This document provides information about the seven continents and five oceans. It describes the location and key details of each continent, such as the countries it contains and surrounding bodies of water. It also provides facts about each of the five oceans, including their sizes and average depths. The objectives are to name and locate the continents and oceans on a map. Comprehension activities are suggested at the end to reinforce learning about the continents and oceans.
Branches of Geography
This document outlines the main branches or approaches of geography:
1) The systematic approach studies geographic phenomena worldwide and identifies patterns. It includes physical, human, environmental, cartography, and philosophical geography.
2) Physical geography deals with natural earth processes and patterns like landforms, climate, hydrology, oceans, and soils.
3) Human geography focuses on human activities and settlements, as well as their relationships with populations, cultures, economies, politics, and health.
4) The regional approach divides the world into natural or political regions and studies all geographic aspects within each region holistically.
Basic Facts about the Planet Earth
The Earth is the third planet from the Sun and is the largest among the terrestrial planets in the Solar System.
Map Elements
This document discusses the key elements of maps, including latitude and longitude, hemispheres, directions, scale, and legends. It explains that latitude lines run east-west and longitude lines run north-south. The equator is the 0 degree latitude line and the prime meridian is the 0 degree longitude line. Maps use these lines to divide the world into four hemispheres and show cardinal and intermediate directions. Scale relates measurements on a map to actual distances. Time zones correspond to longitude, and legends provide keys to symbols on maps.
Types of Maps
There are several types of maps that show different kinds of information. Political maps depict boundaries between countries and states. Physical maps show natural features like mountains, rivers, and oceans without man-made additions. Thematic maps represent single variables like climate, population, or elevation through different colors or symbols. Topographic maps use contour lines to illustrate the shape and elevation of landforms.
Map Parts
Most maps contain six key elements: a title, compass rose, labels, legend, scale, and colors. The title provides the map subject and information. The compass rose orients the map with cardinal and intermediate directions. Labels name and explain map features. The legend decodes symbols and colors used. The scale relates map distances to earth distances. Colors represent various data according to the legend.
Longitude time and ist 1
The document discusses longitudes and how they are used to precisely locate places on Earth. [1] Longitudes are lines that run north-south and are measured in degrees east or west from the Prime Meridian, which passes through Greenwich, England. [2] Unlike parallels of latitude, all meridians of longitude are equal in length. [3] Standard time zones were established because the local solar time differs across longitudes, making coordination of schedules like train timetables difficult without standardization.

Themesof geographypresentation
This document defines and provides examples of key geographic concepts including absolute and relative location, physical and human characteristics, how people interact with their environment, movement within and between places, and different types of regions. It uses the United States as a context for students to think about examples of these geographic concepts. Key points covered include that absolute location uses a grid of latitude and longitude while relative location describes where a place is in relation to others, and that regions can be defined by shared directional, political, physical, agricultural, economic or cultural traits.
Map making
Maps provide useful information about locations and directions. They contain features like a map key, compass rose, and scale. A map key explains symbols, a compass rose shows directions, and a scale relates distances on the map to distances in real life. The document discusses these common map elements and asks students to describe a time a map was useful, share what they know about maps, and watch a video about maps before doing a map making project.
Types of maps
Maps and globes both depict geographic information, but they differ in form and perspective. Maps are flat representations of Earth's surface or portions of it, which necessarily distort features to fit them onto a flat plane, while globes maintain the spherical shape of Earth. The document discusses various types of maps, including political maps that show countries, states, and cities; physical maps that depict natural features like mountains, plains, and bodies of water; topographical maps that show elevation and shape of land; and thematic maps that illustrate specific topics like population, culture, or history. Students are instructed to examine maps in an atlas to identify different types and take notes while watching a video comparing maps and globes.

Landforms
The document discusses how landforms on Earth were created. It introduces the theory of plate tectonics, which explains that approximately 200 million years ago, the single supercontinent of Pangaea broke apart into separate continents. These continents are parts of shifting tectonic plates. The movement of these plates over time is what caused the continents to separate and form in their current locations and shapes. The theory of plate tectonics explains how different landforms like mountains and valleys were formed through both slow changes and rapid changes in the Earth's surface.
Writing coordinates
This document provides instructions for an activity where students will practice writing latitude and longitude coordinates. It explains that coordinates have four parts - degrees of latitude, north/south direction, degrees of longitude, and east/west direction. Students will then be called on to identify the locations of different cities and landmarks in the United States based on their coordinates.
Maps vs globes
The document provides instructions for an entry task asking students to list the 7 continents and 5 oceans. It also notes that maps are due and should be labeled and placed on the table.

It explains that clicking on underlined words will take the user to different pages or sections within the presentation. It also notes that the "Back" and "Home" buttons can be used to navigate between pages, and images may also be clickable links.
The Greenhouse Effect & Global Warming
The burning of fossil fuels negatively impacts the environment by contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect and global warming. The document discusses how the greenhouse effect traps heat from the Earth's surface, which would otherwise be around -18 degrees Celsius without this effect. However, increased greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels are enhancing this effect and causing average global temperatures to rise. This phenomenon is called global warming. The document instructs students to learn more about these topics by watching videos, completing an activity comparing past and present temperatures, and making posters explaining the process of global warming.
Renewable Energy
The document discusses the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy. It defines renewable energy as energy sources that are constantly replenished, such as biomass, geothermal, hydropower, wind, and solar energy. It provides details on each of the five main renewable energy sources, describing how they work to generate electricity or heat. For solar energy, it explains how solar panels capture energy from the sun to convert it into electricity or heat. For wind energy, it discusses how wind turbines harness the wind's kinetic energy. For water power, it describes how dams store and release water to spin turbines. For geothermal, it explains tapping heat from the Earth's core. For biomass, it covers energy
Non-renewable energy
Energy is the ability to produce change or do work. There are two main types of energy sources: non-renewable and renewable. Non-renewable sources exist in finite quantities and include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels were formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals. While they provide a large amount of energy, their use also causes pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Non Renewable Energy
The document discusses different types of energy resources. It defines energy as the ability to produce change or do work. Energy resources are divided into nonrenewable and renewable categories. Nonrenewable resources include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. These are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals. While nonrenewable resources allow for large-scale electricity production cheaply and ease of transport, their main disadvantage is pollution through carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions, contributing to issues like global warming and acid rain.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Human pollution, especially plastic waste, is endangering many animal species. The 'Great Pacific Garbage Patch' has accumulated plastic trapped in ocean currents in an area twice the size of France. Plastic is affecting species by being ingested and accumulating in stomachs. Green sea turtles have plastic interfering with nesting and threatening their endangered status. Scientists measure impacts on populations and plastic quantities to study problems and encourage solutions.
Deforestation
This document discusses a lesson plan on deforestation that asks students whether a city or forest is more valuable, and has them explore the causes and effects of deforestation. It involves students graphing their opinions, reviewing key terms, sorting fact cards on whether deforestation is an issue for kids, and writing an essay using facts to argue their stance on the issue.
Deforestation - Cause & Effect
The document provides instructions for an assignment asking students to create a poster about deforestation. It lists requirements for the poster including explaining at least 3 causes and 3 effects of deforestation, including 5 facts about why it is important to learn about, and 3 possible solutions to reduce deforestation. Students are also asked to post their completed posters on Google Classroom.
Rainforests - The Amazon Rainforest
This document provides information about rainforests and discusses the threats facing the Amazon Rainforest. It begins with definitions of a rainforest and descriptions of its layers. It notes that rainforests contain over 50% of the world's plant and animal species while taking up less than 7% of the Earth's land. The document then discusses reasons for deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest and states that over the past few decades trees have been cut down for various reasons, putting this important environment in danger.
Natural Resources
Natural resources are materials from the natural environment that are valuable to humans. These include things like water, land, forests, and minerals. Failing to protect natural resources would negatively impact humanity by limiting resources for survival like food, water, shelter and reducing quality of life. Students are tasked with learning about natural resources by reading an article, taking notes, and answering questions to demonstrate their understanding.
Adapt, Depend, Modify
The three key concepts of Human-Environment Interaction (HEI) are:
1) How the environment affects people
2) How people affect the environment
3) The ways people depend on, adapt to, and modify their environment.
HEI Vocabulary Words
This document discusses the theme of human-environment interaction (HEI) in geography. HEI focuses on the relationships between people and their environment, including how people adapt to, depend on, and modify their surroundings. There are three key concepts: humans adapt to environmental conditions, modify the environment to suit their needs, and depend on the environment for resources. The document provides examples of each and directs students to define related terms and concepts in their interactive notebook.
Introduction to HEI
The document discusses an introduction to the geography theme of HEI, which stands for Human Environment Interaction. It provides links to rubrics, feedback, and seating arrangements. Students are asked to provide questions and topics they want to learn about regarding HEI. A YouTube video about HEI and a reflection on the 3rd quarter are also mentioned.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
