What is a functional region?
A functional region is organized around a set of interactions and connections between places.
Identify the 4 basic spheres of the earth
Atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere
What are the three types of plate boundaries? Explain the definition of each
Convergent boundaries occur when plates move into eachother; collide
Divergent boundaries are where plate tectonic plates move apart from each other
Transform boundaries scrape past eachother
What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering- The process that alters rock on or near the earth's surface
Erosion- When weathered material moves by wind, water, ice or gravity
What is topography?
The combination of the surface shape and composition of the landforms and their distribution in a region
Identify one type of map and explain its purpose
Explain response
