Erosion
Plants that grow freely without help from people is known as... Give one example
Natural Vegetation (Examples: grasslands, forests, tundra, desert)
Movement of people from one place to another to live or work is known as...
Migration
Protecting resources for the future is also known as...
Sustainability
What's the difference between human geography and physical geography?
Physical geography focuses the natural environment. This includes mapping, studying landforms, ecosystems, climates, and weather patterns. Human geography focuses on geographic issues related to human activity, which includes the population distribution of humans on Earth, economic systems, and how humans impact the Earth.
A natural shape on Earth's surface, such as a mountain or valley.
Landform
Define habitat loss
Occurs when a habitat no longer meets the needs of the species it once supported
These countries have a small population in comparison to their land area.
Sparse
These cities grow in population but do not have enough land to expand outward. Instead, they may have more high-rise buildings and more people living and working in a small area.
Compact Cities
Name two examples of mountains.
MOUNT EVEREST, HIMALAYAS, and ROCKY MOUNTAINS OR ANDES.
The result of forests being purposefully cut down and cleared.
Deforestation
Define biodiversity
The variety of life on Earth, including the diversity of genes, species, and ecosystems
These countries' populations are considered medium in comparison to their land area.
Around the world, most urban areas are increasing in size to make room for their growing population. Many cities grow at their edges, also known as...
Sprawling Cities
Low areas between HILLS or MOUNTAINS are known as...
Valleys
A stream or river that flows into a larger one.
Tributary
Humans can affect landforms and vegetation regions. Explain two ways:
Climate change, Deforestation, Use of pesticides and chemicals, Invasive species
These countries have less land in comparison to their large population.
Dense
The maximum number of people that a region can support without running out of resources is known as...
Carrying Capacity
There are 5 climate regions. Name two of them...
Polar, Tropic, Continental, Temperate, Dry
Explain the three movements of tectonic plates.
Collide, slide past one another, move apart
Erosion happens in many parts of Canada to create beautiful landforms. What are one of the locations you learned about?
The Appalachian Region, The Badlands, Point Peele National Park, Flowerpot Island, The Niagara Escarpment
There are five factors that population growth is influenced by. Name 2 of them:
Population demographics, social attitudes, economy, education, healthcare
There are six settlement factors. Name 2 of them:
agriculture, water, historical, political, economic, natural disasters
There are 6 factors that affect climate. Name two of them...
Latitude, Wind, Elevation, Ocean currents, Bodies of Water, Landforms
