Geography - An introduction to the subject
This is an introductory presentation of one of the important lines of research in Social Studies: Geography.
Notes on different terms of Geography
The document provides an overview of the key concepts in geography. It discusses geography as the study of the Earth and its features, both physical and human. It outlines the five themes of geography: location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions. These themes frame how geographers analyze various places on Earth. The document also describes some of the tools geographers use, including maps and globes, and it explains important map elements like compass roses, scales, keys, and grids.
Mars
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is sometimes called the "Red Planet". It has two moons named Phobos and Deimos. The document provides an introduction to Mars, discussing its location between Earth and Jupiter, its two moons, facts about its atmosphere and climate, and that some think life may exist on Mars.
Chapter 3 Land
This document summarizes various landforms and the geological processes that create them. It discusses both internal forces like earthquakes and volcanoes, as well as external forces like erosion, weathering, streams, glaciers and waves that shape the Earth's surface over time. Specific landforms are examined like mountains, plains, plateaus and valleys, as well as features caused by folding, faulting, volcanic activity, deposition and more. Examples throughout illustrate these concepts.
Grid reference worksheet
This document provides guidance for teaching students about directions, turns, and compass points using hands-on activities. It includes a journal problem that asks students to relate directions (North, South, East, West) to each other using turns. Students may need to physically turn and move to understand half and quarter turns. Extension activities include using an eight-point compass and having students follow/give directions to move around a map. Providing real-world examples outside can reinforce understanding of turns and compass directions.
Faulting
Faulting occurs when rocks crack or fracture due to tensional or compressional forces within the Earth's crust. This can form different types of faults such as normal faults, reverse faults, and tear faults. Faulting produces landforms like block mountains, rift valleys, tilt blocks, and escarpments. Rift valleys are long depressions bounded by parallel faults, such as those found in East Africa. They form through tension or compression and contain lakes like Lake Turkana and Lake Tanganyika. Faulting benefits the region by providing resources, attractive landscapes, and opportunities for agriculture, fishing, mining, and tourism.
Topo map package w images
This document provides guidance on reading and interpreting topographical maps. It outlines key elements such as grid lines, grid references, map scales, measuring distances, directions, bearings, representing relief features, drainage patterns, and analyzing human landscapes. Examples and exercises are provided to help students practice skills like calculating gradients, describing river flows, and inferring land use from map evidence. The goal is for students to feel confident in summarizing relief, drainage, coastal, and human features from topographical maps.

Slopes and landforms
Contour lines can indicate slope steepness and landforms. Gentle slopes have contour lines far apart, while steep slopes have lines close together. Terraced slopes alternate between steep and gentle sections. Concave slopes are steep at the top and gentle at the bottom, while convex slopes are the opposite. Common landforms include conical hills with concentric contour circles, V-shaped valleys pointing uphill, spurs opposite valleys, cliffs where contours touch, and saddles between high points in mountains.
Geological faults student copy
This document describes different types of geological faults, including dip-slip faults (normal and reverse), strike-slip faults (tear and transform), and thrust faults. It provides examples of each type and diagrams to illustrate normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Key points covered include the East African Rift Valley as an example of a normal fault, thrust faults being associated with mountain building, and the San Andreas Fault as an example of a transform fault.
Geography Skills: Contours
Maps represent 3D landscapes in 2D, which can make it difficult to depict elevation changes. There are two main ways maps show 3D terrain: profile views and contour maps. Contour maps take a 3D landscape and represent it with 2D contour lines that connect points of equal elevation. The closer the lines are together, the steeper the slope; lines farther apart indicate flatter land. Contour maps provide detailed elevation information and allow inferences about landscape shapes and slopes.
Contour Lines
There are 3 ways to show height above sea level on a map: contour lines which join points of equal height; spot heights which are specific measured points; and triangulation points which are concrete pillars used for measurement. Contour lines never cross, are orange, thin and faint, form circuits, and are closer together for steeper land and farther apart for flatter land.
Map Reading
This document provides an overview of key elements of map reading including:
1. The main components of a map including title, scale, legend, grid lines, and north arrows.
2. Grid systems and references for locating positions on a map.
3. How to determine distances and directions using map scales, bearings, and cardinal points.
4. Methods for identifying one's own location including resection and using known lines/features.
5. Techniques for locating other positions including intersection and using azimuth and distance.
Reading a topographic map
Topographic maps show elevation and surface features of land using contour lines to connect points of equal height. Contour lines never cross and indicate slope - closely spaced lines mean steep slopes while lines far apart indicate flat land. Topographic maps are used to understand the shape and elevation of the land.
Secondary 1 Geography-Topographic Map
Topographic maps use a grid system of eastings and northings to locate features. Grid references specify the grid square and exact location of a feature. Compass directions and bearings are used to determine the orientation between locations. Distances on a map are measured using a ruler and scale, while curved distances use a string. Contours connect areas of equal height and indicate terrain features like hills, mountains, valleys, plateaus and ridges based on their shape and steepness.
Contouring pdf
The document discusses contouring and contour maps. It begins with definitions of key terms like contour, contour interval, and horizontal equivalent. It then describes the characteristics of contours, such as contours of equal elevation joining to indicate terrain features like hills and depressions. The methods of creating contours and their common uses are outlined, such as determining cut and fill volumes for engineering projects. Specific topics covered in the document include determining slope steepness from contour spacing, identifying ridges and valleys, and factors that determine the contour interval.

Part I is compulsory and contains short answer questions about the provided map extract. Part II has 2 sections with longer answer questions about geography of South Asia, India, and climate.
levelling and contouring
Leveling is a surveying technique used to determine differences in elevation between points. It involves measuring vertical angles and distances to establish spot elevations across an area. There are two main methods - direct and indirect. Direct contouring involves marking points along contour lines in the field, while indirect contouring uses spot elevations from which contours are interpolated on a map. Common techniques include using a level, staff, and plane table or theodolite to obtain elevations and positions of points, which are then contoured. Leveling is important for engineering projects to design facilities and earthworks efficiently based on terrain.
Faults
Faults are fractures in rock where there has been relative movement between the two sides. The fault plane is the surface where displacement occurs. The hanging wall is the rock above the fault plane, and the foot wall is below. Slip can be strike slip along the fault strike, dip slip along the dip, or oblique. Faults are classified based on movement, direction of slip, and geometry. Common types are normal faults where the hanging wall moves down, reverse faults where it moves up, and strike-slip faults where movement is horizontal. Faults can impact engineering by weakening foundations and providing pathways for water.
Contouring
The document provides information on contouring and contour maps. It defines a contour as an imaginary line joining points of equal elevation. Contour maps show contour lines and provide information on surface altitudes and relative positions. The process of tracing contour lines is called contouring. Contour surveys are conducted for engineering projects to select sites, locate alignments, and minimize earthworks. The constant vertical distance between contours is the contour interval, while the horizontal distance varies based on slope. Contour interpolation involves proportionally spacing contours between plotted ground points based on assumed uniform slopes.
Map & a diagram (1)
A topographical map shows both natural and man-made features using contour lines and colors to represent elevation, terrain, and land use. Contour lines connect points of equal height and indicate the steepness of slopes. Common topographical map symbols and features include contour intervals, spot heights, settlements, drainage patterns, vegetation, infrastructure like roads and railroads, and land use patterns related to occupations. Topographical maps are scaled and use a grid system of eastings and northings to precisely locate points.
Landforms powerpoint
This document defines and describes various landforms and bodies of water. It explains that a bay is an area of water bordered by land on three sides, a gulf is a larger body of water partly surrounded by land, and a peninsula is a piece of land surrounded by water on three sides. It also defines deltas, isthmuses, straits, lakes, mountains, hills, plains, plateaus, rivers, waterfalls, fjords, valleys, glaciers, archipelagos, seas, and oceans.
Contouring
This document discusses contouring and contour maps. It defines a contour line as a line connecting points of equal elevation. The vertical distance between consecutive contours is called the contour interval, which depends on factors like the nature of the ground and the map scale. Contour maps show the topography of an area and can be used for engineering projects, route selection, and estimating earthworks. Methods of plotting contours include direct methods using levels or hand levels, and indirect methods like gridding, cross-sectioning, and radial lines. Characteristics of contours provide information about the landscape.
Landforms ppt
Landforms are natural features on Earth's surface including mountains, valleys, plateaus, canyons, plains and islands. Mountains are the tallest landforms with peaks, valleys are low areas between mountains, and plains are flat, expansive surfaces. Canyons are deep valleys with steep walls, while plateaus are flat highlands raised above the surrounding terrain. Bodies of water like oceans, rivers and lakes also shape the planet. Oceans are the largest water features, rivers are long flowing streams, and lakes are inland water surrounded by land.
Levelling
1. Levelling is used to determine relative heights and elevations of points and establish points at required elevations. It involves using instruments like levels and staffs.
2. There are different types of levels (dumpy, tilting, wye, automatic) and staffs (self-reading, target). Precise levelling is done to establish permanent benchmarks.
3. Adjustments must be made to level instruments during setup and permanently. Methods like differential, profile and cross levelling are used depending on the task. Reciprocal levelling involves backsight-foresight exchange to check for errors.
Engineering Geology (Civil Engineering Applications)
This document discusses the important geological factors to consider when selecting sites for dams and reservoirs. Narrow river valleys, shallow bedrock, and competent bedrock foundations are desirable for reducing dam construction costs. Sedimentary rocks like sandstone and limestone can cause water leakage from reservoirs depending on their porosity. Metamorphic rocks like gneiss and quartzite are generally impermeable. Geological structures must also be considered, with horizontal or tilted strata being most suitable and faults or intense fracturing making a site undesirable. The document outlines these considerations in detail.

The task is to answer questions using relative location by referring to maps and identifying cardinal or intermediate directions.
Geo skills 2 -Parts of a Map
The document discusses the key parts of a map, including the map title, compass rose, map key or legend, inset map, locator map, and map scale. It provides details on each part, such as how a compass rose shows directions with four or eight points resembling flower petals, how a map key explains symbols used on the map, how an inset map provides a more detailed view of an area within the larger map, and how a locator map and map scale provide context and scale for the mapped information. The document concludes by asking the reader questions to test their understanding of these key parts of a map.
Geo skills 1 -Map Types
There are several main types of maps. Political maps show country borders and major cities. Topographical maps depict physical features and elevation.

Tag examples and guiding questions
This document provides examples of artifact tags at different proficiency levels to help guide students in writing effective tags for their artifacts. It includes examples of tags for a Sony Walkman Sport artifact that demonstrate an Emerging, Developing, Proficient, and Exemplary level of analysis. The Exemplary tag best analyzes the artifact's importance by explaining how the Walkman allowed isolated listening and changed how humans experience music from a shared to a solitary activity, representing modern isolation despite humanity's historical connection through music.
The fossils are coming intro ppt inprogress
The document provides instructions for students to make fossils using various materials like paper mache, play dough, or plaster of paris. It explains that paper mache fossils can be made using balloons, paste, newspapers/magazines and paint. Play dough fossils should be small in scale since only a small amount is provided, and additional supplies can be used. Plaster of paris fossils involve pressing modeling clay into a mold, adding vaseline, and pouring the plaster into the mold to set. Students are instructed to decide with a partner what type of fossil and material to use.
The rules
Your protagonist must be believable, you must connect with your character, and violence can only play a minor role and requires teacher approval. You must write in third person and your story cannot be revealed to be just a dream.
