Review of 1st Quarter World Geography

Climographs and LOPES

100

What does the 5 letters in L.O.P.E.S stand for ?

Latitude, Ocean Currents, Percipitation to water, Elevation, and Seasons.

200

What does a climograph measure ? 

A climograph measures temperature and amount of precipitation each month.

300

Which data has a higher elevation ?  Data 1 has a minimum temperature of 18 degrees, whereas Data 2 has a minimum temperature of 60 degrees 

Data 1 

400

In LOPES, how do we determine the latitude ?

We determine the latitude by looking at the temperatures and seeing the minimum and maximum temperature values, and seeing what latitude lines they could be in between, and also seeing if it is North or South.

Latitude

100

What Climate Zone is in between the latitude lines 0 degress and 23.5 degress North ?

Tropical Zone

200

What is the highest degree a latitude line can go ?

90 degress North/South

300

True or False : Latitude Lines determine the time zones of locations

False 

400

What climate zone is between the latitude lines 66.5 degrees south and 90 degrees south ?

The Polar Zone

500

What climate zone is between latitude lines 23.5 degrees north and 66.5 degrees north ?

The season dependent zone

Types of Cultural Diffusion

100

culture spread because of movement is known as - 

Relocation Diffsion

200

When rich passes down to regular people, this diffusion is known as-

Herarchical Diffsuion

300

culture that spreads when 2 different cultures interest is known as-

Expansion Diffusion

400

culture that spreads really fast, this is known as-

Contagious Diffusion

Types of Geo Tech

100

What Geographic Technology is being described ? 

This geographic technology can get you to point A to point B; your location

GPS

200

a geographic technology that uses a layered map that can be turned on and off is known as -

GIS

300

This geographic technology stores data that could change at any given point, for instance, spreading of wildfires, the cases of who has certain disease.  What geographic technology is this ?

Remote Sensing ( RS))

400

Technology that includes GPS, GIS, and RS is know as -

Geographic Technology

500

In Brief terms, explain how GPS, RS, and GIS are different.

GPS is your location, can get you to point A to point B.  RS is changes in data.  GIS is a layered map that can be turned on and off.

U.S and Canada Physical Geography

100

What Continent is the United States of America and Canada on ?

North America

200

 Compare, in terms of climate, about the U.S.A and Canada.

Canada has a more colder climate than the U.S, which means that temperature's are more Consistently cold than that of the U.S

300

Why is the Canadian population low compared to the population of the U.S ? 

because canada is too cold, so that means that it is a little harder to grow crops, and it would be a little harder to sustain life in colder areas than that of the U.S.

400

Using your best World Geography vocabulary, describe  the United States physical geography.

The United States has many mountain ranges, some states can have warmer temperatures than others and some states can have more cooler temperatures than some states.
