Canada; A Sense of Place
Place – Is any spot or area on the surface of the earth. (Fig. 1.4)
![Page 20: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Area• Canada is the second largest country in
the world.
• Canada covers an area of 9,971,000 Square Kilometers, while Russia is the largest with 17,075,000 square Kilometers.
![Page 21: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Canada’s Exceptional Places
• Canada is known for it’s exceptional natural environment and their unique human characteristics
• Example; Canada has 13 UNESCO world heritage sites. Gros Morne National Park is one of those.
![Page 22: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Finding a Place
Two Ways to find a place:
1. Relative Location – is a description of where something exist in relation to other places. It shows the way that places are connected to other places – by water, land, transportation route, or technology.
Example; St. John’s, Newfoundland is the most easterly city in
Canada.
![Page 23: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2. Absolute Location – is the exact location of a place measured by
its Latitude and Longitude.
Example; Bay Roberts, Newfoundland is 47.5 º latitude, 53.25 º
longitude.
Latitude – Is the distance North or South of the equator measured in degrees; the equator is 0 degrees latitude. The equator means equal. (ie) it is divided into two equal parts (spheres).
![Page 24: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Longitude – Is the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian measured in degrees. Lines of longitude passes through both poles and are used to find locations east and west of the zero degrees longitude or the prime meridian, which passes through Greenwich, England.
![Page 26: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Grid – Latitude and Longitude lines intersect to make up a set of coordinates to indicate the Absolute location of any point on the earths surface.
![Page 28: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Note; Latitude and longitude are distance units measured in degrees, minutes and seconds.
We write 83º 70´ N Latitude as 83 degrees, 70 minutes North Latitude.
** One degree of Latitude represents about 111 kilometers
![Page 29: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

How much land mass does Canada cover?
Northern most Settlement• Alert on Ellesmere Island• 83º 70´ N Latitude
Southern most Place• Middle Island in Lake Erie• 41º 41´ N Latitude
![Page 30: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Eastern most Place• Cape Spear, St. John’s NL.• 52º 37´ W Longitude
Western most Place• Border between the Yukon and the US State of Alaska.

Using the diagram provided complete the questions..
1. Give the latitude and longitude for the locations A to E located on the grid.
2. Calculate the number of kilometers Location A and C?
![Page 33: Canadian Geography 1202. Term 2 Introduction to Geography Unit 1 Natural and Human Systems Unit 2 Human population Issues Term 1 Unit 3 Economic Issues.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649ccf5503460f9499af0d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Answers;
1. Point A - 40ºN 20ºWPoint B - 20ºN 40ºWPoint C - 0ºN 20ºWPoint D - 20ºS 20ºEPoint E - 60ºN 40ºE
2. The distance between A and C is 40º, so 40ºx111km = 4440 Kilometers

Earth;
• The earth is tilted on it’s axis 231/2º• The earth rotates on it’s axis once every 24 hours, thus giving us day and night.
• The Tropic of Cancer is 231/2º N of the equator.
• The Tropic of Capricorn is 231/2º S of the equator.
