What is are the 4 types of interalationships
Pooled
Sequential
Reciprocal
Intensive
What are the 3 types of maps
General Purpose Maps
Topographic Maps
Thematic Maps
What are the 3 types of scales
Direct Statement/ Verbal Scale
Uses words ( 1 cm to 10 km).
Linear/Line Scale
A visual bar divided into units (like a ruler drawn on the map).
Representative fraction
A mathematical ratio (1 : 1,000,000, meaning 1 unit on the map equals 1,000,000 of the same unit in the real world.
What is weather and climate?
Climate- Long term average temperature and weather patterns in a region/specific area
Weather- day to day weather conditions, includes short term changes in temperature, precipitation, wind, etc
Examples of Social
People and Culture (media)
What is a pooled interraltionship
combining resources or efforts so everyone can benefit (mutual)
Example: Retail chain branches. The New York branch and the Los Angeles branch don’t interact daily
What are the features of a General Purpose Map
Political boundaries, major transportation routes, water bodies, urban areas
What are the four cardinal compass points AND their bearings?
North, East, South, and West
North- 360* or 000*
East- 090*
South-180*
West- 270*
**rule of 90*
List and describe the factors that affect climate (LOWERN)
Latitude
Ocean Currents
Winds and Air Masses
Elevation
Relief
Nearness to water
Examples of economic
Wealth and resources
What is sequential interrelationship?
a step-by-step connection." It means that a series of things or events are linked together
Example: An assembly line or content publishing. The writer must finish the article before the editor can review it, and the editor must finish before the graphic designer can format it.
What are the features of a Topographic Map
Contour lines, alphanumeric grid system, physical features, cultural features.
What are each of the time zones from East-West across Canada (6)
Pacific Time (PT)
Mountain Time (MT)
Central Time (CT)
Eastern Time (ET)
Atlantic Time (AT)
Newfoundland Time (NT)
What are the 2 types of climate and definitions?
Maritime- Close to Oceans and large bodies of water, heavily affected by ocean/ ocean currents results in moderate temperatures
Continental- Surrounded by land, results in extreme temperatures
Examples of environmental
Ecosystem disruption
What is a reciprocal interrelationship
give-and-take connection
Example: A hospital operating room. The surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and the surgical nurse must constantly react to and adjust based on each other’s actions in real time.
What are the features of a Thematic Map
Choropleth shading, proportional symbols, specific, single-topic data.
What are plate tectonics and why earthquakes and volcanoes are located along plate boundaries.
The scientific theory that Earth’s outer crust is broken into massive pieces (tectonic plates) that float on the hot, fluid mantle beneath them.
Temperature range?
is the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures recorded over a specific timeframe, typically a day or a year.
Examples of political
Power and Borders
What is Intensive interrelationship
close, deep, and active connection where two or more things affect each other strongly
Example: A multidisciplinary product development team (engineering, marketing, legal, and the UX design) brainstorming and building a brand new software platform from scratch

What is continental drift and the 3 proofs
It's a theory that Alfred Wegner made that all continents were once joined in a supercontinent called pangea and have since drifted apart.
1. The examples include the jigsaw fit which is the coastlines of South America and Africa look like interlocking puzzle pieces
2.fossil correlation that is matching fossils of identical plants and animals found on entirely differently oceans/continents
3. and geological evidence and that is matching mountain ranges (like the Appalachians ending in Canada and matching up with mountains in Europe) and matching rock layers.
