Latitude and longitude
The document discusses lines of latitude and longitude that form a grid system around the Earth. Lines of latitude, also called parallels, circle the globe parallel to the equator and measure degrees north and south. Lines of longitude, also called meridians, circle the globe from pole to pole and measure degrees east and west of the Prime Meridian. Where these lines intersect provides an absolute location on Earth in degrees of latitude and longitude.
Understanding Longitude And Latitude
The document explains latitude and longitude by comparing it to a typical x-y graph, with latitude as the y-axis and longitude as the x-axis. Latitude ranges from 90° North to 90° South of the equator, while longitude ranges from 180° West to 180° East of the Prime Meridian. Together, a point's latitude and longitude can be used to locate it anywhere on Earth.

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.

Here are the answers:
1. The local time of a place situated 60° W of London will be 6 pm if it is noon in London. Since each 15° of longitude represents a 1 hour time difference, and the place is 60° west of London, the time difference will be 60/15 = 4 hours. So if it is noon in London, the local time at the place 60° W will be noon + 4 hours = 6 pm.
2. The local time of a place situated 90° E of London will be 3 pm if it is 9 am in London. Since each 15° of longitude represents a 1 hour time difference, and the place is 90° east of London, the time difference will be

2_Earth_and_its_coordinates.ppt
The document describes the Earth's coordinate system of latitude and longitude. It defines key terms like the equator, which divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres. Latitude is the angular distance north or south of the equator, while longitude is the angular distance east or west of the prime meridian. Together, latitude and longitude provide a framework for precisely locating any position on Earth.
Latitude and longitude 1
Latitude lines run east-west and measure locations as degrees north or south of the equator, splitting the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres. Longitude lines begin at the Prime Meridian and measure degrees east or west, splitting the Earth into western and eastern hemispheres. Together, latitude and longitude coordinates provide a specific position anywhere on Earth.
Chapter latitude and logitude
Locations on Earth are described by their latitude and longitude coordinates. Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles. Lines connecting points of equal latitude are called parallels. Longitude is the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees from 0 degrees at the Prime Meridian to 180 degrees east and west. The Prime Meridian passes through the Greenwich Observatory in England. The rotation of the Earth causes the sun to traverse 15 degrees of longitude per hour, causing time to change by 4 minutes when moving between meridians. The International Date Line approximates the 180th meridian, where the date changes when traveling east or

Judaism
Judaism originated in Southwest Asia around 1800 BCE. It began with Abraham and Sarah, the first people to worship Yahweh (God). Jews believe they are descended from Abraham and Sarah. The Jewish holy book is the Torah, which contains laws given to Moses by God. Important sites include Jerusalem, believed to be the holiest city, and the Western Wall, which is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism.
Oil Distribution in Southwest Asia (Middle East)
Oil was discovered in the Middle East in the early 20th century and has transformed the region. Southwest Asia has the world's largest oil reserves, concentrated in Saudi Arabia and Iran. Many countries depend on oil imports for fuel, plastics, and chemicals, giving oil-producing nations great economic power. While oil wealth has improved conditions in some countries, it is unevenly distributed within and among nations, fueling conflicts.
Environmental issues in israel, jordan, and saudi arabia
Several countries in Southwest Asia are facing increasing water pollution and scarcity issues. Farmers' use of chemical fertilizers and industrial and domestic waste are contaminating water supplies in rivers and aquifers. The region has less than 1% of the world's fresh water to support 5% of the global population. Israel, Jordan, and other countries have been in repeated conflicts over access to shared water sources like the Jordan River and aquifers. Countries like Jordan and Saudi Arabia now struggle to meet basic water needs as supplies dwindle and salinization increases.
Environmental issues in Turkey, Syria, and iraq
The document discusses water pollution and unequal distribution of water resources in Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. It notes that all three countries are experiencing increasing water pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial/chemical waste. Turkey has an advantage due to control of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers' sources, but building dams to improve living standards has reduced water flow to Syria by 40% and Iraq by 80%, exacerbating food shortages and conflicts between the countries over scarce water.
Southwest Asia (Middle East) Other Physical Features
The document describes several important physical features:
1) The Suez Canal is a 120-mile man-made waterway between the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea that transports goods between continents.
2) The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula that is a major route for oil shipments from the Persian Gulf.
3) The Strait of Gibraltar connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean and is the only passage into or out of the Persian Gulf for ships.
Southwest Asia Rivers and Seas
The document discusses several rivers and seas. It describes how the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers both begin in Turkey and flow through Iraq before joining together and emptying into the Persian Gulf. It also discusses the Jordan River, noting it flows from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea and is important to Israel, Jordan, and Syria. The document also briefly mentions the Suez Canal which connects Europe and India and the Strait of Hormuz, an inlet between Africa and Asia that sees heavy shipping traffic.
Georgia's Islands, Mountains and Swamps
The document discusses several of Georgia's major physical features including the Okefenokee Swamp, Appalachian Mountains, and Barrier Islands. The Okefenokee Swamp is one of the largest freshwater swamps in North America, located in southeast Georgia. The Appalachian Mountains extend into northern Georgia and contain the state's highest elevations. Barrier Islands line the Georgia coast and help protect the mainland from ocean waves and erosion.
Georgia's Fall Line and Rivers
The document discusses Georgia's Fall Line and two major rivers - the Chattahoochee and Savannah Rivers. The Fall Line marks an elevation drop where rivers rapidly descend towards the coast, causing early Georgia cities to form along the rivers to transfer goods. Today it features beautiful waterfalls. The Chattahoochee River flows from Blue Ridge Mountains through Georgia and provides water and power. The Savannah River forms Georgia's border with South Carolina and empties into the Atlantic, supporting shipping due to its depth.
Appalachian Plateau, Blue Ridge, and Valley & Ridge
The document describes Georgia's major geographic regions. It focuses on the Appalachian Plateau region, located in the northwest corner of Georgia, which features a long valley surrounded by Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain. The region contains forests and underground caves but its sandy soil makes it unsuitable for farming. The Blue Ridge region in northeast Georgia contains the southern end of the Appalachian Mountains, including Georgia's highest point. It attracts tourists for its waterfalls, gorge, and scenery but has limited agriculture. The Valley and Ridge region lies east of the Plateau, consisting of ridges and valleys ranging from 700-1600 feet, with farming and mining as its main industries.
Piedmont and Coastal Plain
Georgia is divided into five geographic regions - the Appalachian Plateau, Valley and Ridge, Blue Ridge, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain. The Piedmont region makes up 30% of the state's land area and features rolling hills between 500-1700 feet in elevation. It has significant granite and marble deposits and is important for agriculture. Nearly 50% of Georgia's population lives in the Piedmont, which also contains many businesses and industry. The Coastal Plain is the largest region, stretching from the coast inland, and produces the majority of the state's agricultural crops like peanuts and onions.
Georgia's Delegates
Button Gwinnett was a merchant and plantation owner in Georgia who became politically active in the Revolutionary period, joining the Whig Party and leading a patriot group. He signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 before dying in a duel that same year. Lyman Hall was a minister and doctor from Connecticut who practiced in Georgia and South Carolina, becoming a leader in the patriot cause and signing the Declaration of Independence. He later served as governor of Georgia, focusing on rebuilding the economy. George Walton was a successful lawyer in Georgia who served in the provincial congress and Continental Congress, signing the Declaration as the third Georgian. He had a long political career including as governor and senator.
Revolutionary People
The document discusses several revolutionary heroes from Georgia who fought during the American Revolution, including Lieutenant Colonel Elijah Clarke who led militia forces in guerrilla tactics across Georgia and the Carolinas and helped regain control of Augusta in 1781. It also discusses Austin Dabney, an enslaved African American who fought alongside patriots at the Battle of Kettle Creek and was later freed and given land for his bravery. Finally, it describes Nancy Hart who killed one and wounded another British soldier who invaded her farm and held the rest at gunpoint until her husband returned.
Colonial taxation
In the 1760s and 1770s, Great Britain began taxing the colonies in order to help pay off war debts without colonial representation in Parliament, angering many colonists. The Stamp Act of 1765 was one of the first direct taxes that required a stamp be purchased for newspapers and other paper goods, leading many colonists to rebel against "taxation without representation." Further acts by the British, including the Intolerable Acts punishing Boston for the 1773 Tea Party, increased tensions and helped set the stage for the American Revolutionary War.
French and indian war
The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was a conflict between Britain and France over land in North America. The war began as a result of tensions over fur trading territory in the Ohio Valley. Although known as the French and Indian War in America due to Native American alliances, it was called the Seven Years' War in Europe. Britain emerged victorious and gained control of French territories east of the Mississippi River by the Treaty of Paris in 1763. However, the economic costs of the war bankrupted Britain. The Proclamation of 1763 established a boundary along the Appalachian Mountains in an attempt to prevent further conflict between colonists and Native Americans over western lands.
Royal georgia
In 1752, control of the colony of Georgia was transferred from private trustees to the King, making it a royal colony. Restrictions on land ownership and slavery were removed, allowing Georgia to thrive economically through plantation agriculture worked by slaves, whose numbers grew rapidly to over 18,000 by 1775. Under royal governance, Georgia established new governmental positions and a legislature, while the colony's governors, including John Reynolds, Henry Ellis, and James Wright, oversaw its growth into a prosperous slave-holding society focused on rice cultivation.
Trustee georgia
The document summarizes the early history of European settlement in Georgia. It describes how the Salzburgers, a group of German Protestants, immigrated to Georgia in 1734 seeking religious freedom and established the town of Ebenezer. It also discusses how 177 Scottish soldiers known as the Highland Scots established the town of Darien in 1736 to help defend the colony from Spanish threats. The Highland Scots were successful in establishing timber and cattle industries. Oglethorpe's recruitment of these groups helped fortify Georgia against Spanish attacks.
Georgia's contributors
James Oglethorpe led over 100 colonists from England to establish a new settlement in Georgia in 1733. Upon arriving in America, Oglethorpe selected a bluff overlooking the Savannah River as the site for the new city of Savannah. With the help of Yamacraw Indian chief Tomochichi and interpreter Mary Musgrove, Oglethorpe was able to negotiate peacefully with the local Creek Indians to ensure the success of the fledgling colony.
Creating a settlement in georgia
James Oglethorpe was a wealthy English politician who was upset by the harsh conditions faced by London's poor citizens. He proposed creating a colony in America to help the unemployed and poor. In 1732, King George II granted a charter establishing the colony of Georgia, with Oglethorpe as one of the trustees governing it. The colony was intended to help England economically through trade and buffer the southern British colonies from Spanish Florida and French territories while providing charity to London's poor. Oglethorpe carefully selected the first colonists and provided them land, tools, and supplies to establish Georgia.
European Exploration
Europeans went exploring for three main reasons: gold, God, and glory. Explorers were seeking riches like gold (GOLD), wanting to spread their religion to other lands (GOD), and being driven by personal ambition for fame and glory (GLORY). Beginning in the late 15th century, European powers like Spain, France, and Britain competed to explore and claim territory in North America.
European contact
Spanish explorers first entered Georgia in the 1500s, bringing diseases that devastated the native population. In 1540, the conquistador Hernando De Soto led 600 soldiers across Georgia, torturing and enslaving natives in search of gold and silver. Though he found no gold, De Soto had a lasting negative impact on the natives. Diseases introduced by the Spanish, to which the natives had no resistance, wiped out entire villages. The Spanish went on to establish missions along Georgia's barrier islands to convert natives to Catholicism.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Latitude and Longitude
- 1. A Review of Latitude & Longitude
- 2. • Lines of latitude and lines of longitude cross one another. • They form a grid system around the earth.
- 3. • The equator circles the middle of the Earth. • It divides the earth into hemispheres or “half- spheres.” • North of the equator is the Northern Hemisphere, while south of the equator is the Southern Hemisphere. • The equator is the starting point for measuring latitude.
- 4. • The Prime Meridian (0 degrees) is the starting point for measuring longitude. • It divides the earth into half spheres in the other direction. • East of the Prime Meridian for 180 degrees is the Eastern Hemisphere, so these lines are marked E for east. • West of the Prime Meridian for 180 degrees is the Western Hemisphere, so these lines are marked W for west.
- 5. • Lines of latitude are also called parallels. • They circle the earth parallel to the Equator. • They measure north and south of equator in degrees. • The Equator is at 0° latitude. • Latitude lines above the equator are marked with an N for north, while latitude lines running below the equator are labeled with an S for south.
- 6. • Lines of longitude are also called meridians. • They circle the earth from Pole to Pole. • They measure east and west of the starting line, at 0° longitude, or the Prime Meridian.
- 7. • Only one place can be found at the point where lines cross one another. • Use degrees (°) to give an exact spot where one line of latitude crosses one line of longitude, an absolute location.
