The Basics of Geography
• Geography- the study of everything on Earth– From rocks and rainfall to people and places
• Geographers-people who study geography– How natural environment influences people, how
people affect the Earth, and how the world changes

Two Main Branches:Human and Physical
• Human Geography: people study the distribution and characteristics of the world’s people– Where they live, work, and ways of life
• Physical Geography: focuses on Earth’s natural environment– Landforms, water features, atmosphere, animals,
plants, etc…..
• These two branches link together by how people interact with their environment

Regionan area with one or more common features that make
it different from surrounding areas• Regions are defined by their human and physical
features– Languages, religions; climate, soils
• Regions can have both set boundaries and unclear boundaries– Example:
• Set boundary: United States• Unclear boundary: Tornado Alley
• Can be any size and can be divided into smaller areas called subregions.

Organizing the Globe
• Latitude• Longitude• Meridians• Parallels• Hemispheres • Continents
![Page 15: Do Now! Make a list of any country that you know of… without your neighbor!!!!!!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec45503460f94bcdeac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Latitude• Runs East-West • Measures
distance North- South of equator
• Also called parallels
![Page 16: Do Now! Make a list of any country that you know of… without your neighbor!!!!!!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec45503460f94bcdeac/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Longitude• Runs North-
South • Measures
distance East-West of Prime Meridian
• Also called Meridians
![Page 17: Do Now! Make a list of any country that you know of… without your neighbor!!!!!!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649ec45503460f94bcdeac/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Measure distances in Degrees and Minutes• Latitude= 0-90 N/S• Longitude= 0-180 E/W• Globe is also organized into Hemispheres (4)– Equator divides globe into North and South
Hemisphere– Prime Meridian divides globe into Eastern and
Western Hemispheres
