6th Period Review by Christopher Lee https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i en-us 2016-09-27 14:08:12 UTC 2024-11-02 05:45:13 UTC hello@padlet.com 3. What is a hydrosphere/ lithosphere? https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126768699 Hydrosphere- It is all of the water on earths surface.
Lithosphere-  It is the earths crust and upper mantle.]]> 2016-09-27 18:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126768699 Climate https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126769112 a. How do countries prepare for extreme climate/weather?
- walls, sand bags, levy, pillars, storm shelters
b. Biomes (savanna, grassland, tundra, etc)
- Marine, Freshwater, Tiaga, Tundra, Temperate, Mediterranean, Desert, Tropical
c. How does latitude relate to climate?
- places located at high latitudes (far from the equator) receive less sunlight than places at low latitudes (close to the equator)
d. How does locations (near oceans) and wind affect climate?
- as air and water currents move from one area to the other, they affect the general climate of the area they are moving into.
e. How does physical features (mountains) affect climate?
- if you live near a mountain, one side receives a lot of precipitation as the water from the ocean evaporates into clouds. As that evaporation moves up over the mountains temperatures get colder ultimately giving that side rain, the other side of the mountain gets dry, warm air.
f. Where does weather vary the most?
- the temperature varies in the far part of the equator because that is where the most temperature change is. The amount of sunlight affects the weather so since there isn't much the weather would be different and would vary the most.

What Causes the Seasons? https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126769683 The Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, and the Southern is tilted away from the sun. then it is Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and Winter in the Southern Hemisphere.]]> 2016-09-27 18:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126769683 10. What is GIS and its uses? https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126769722 -a geographical information system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present, geographical data.]]> 2016-09-27 18:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126769722 4. Governments (what countries?)  Define the following:                     https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126770416 Theocracy- Based on religious belief, and its often paired with other types of government. Examples: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan.
Democracy- Power to the people; the people vote for a president and representatives (if the democracy is a representative democracy). Examples: U.S.A, Canada, japan, and France.
Dictatorship- One person has complete control over the people and their lives, often with military in some control. Examples: North Korea, Belarus. ]]> 2016-09-27 18:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126770416 2.Physical processes  https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126770697 a.Movement of plate tectonics- the movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic plates. they are convergent,divergent, and transform
B.Erosion cause by
wind- wind erosion refers to the damage of land as a result of wind removing soil from an area. Most often, wind erosion occurs on flat land in dry or sandy areas.

Water-The detachment and removal of soil material by water . The process may be natural or accelerated by human activity .

How did the use of GPS change industry? https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126771322 -the advance of GPS technology has changed the industry by getting us to our destination more easier and efficient, and it also makes us more aware of our surroundings.]]> 2016-09-27 18:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126771322 8. Be able to interrupt maps/charts/ political cartoons.  https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126772239 conical projection-a map projection in which an area of the earth is projected onto a cone whose vertex is usually above one of the poles, then unrolled onto a flat surface.

cylindrical projection- Distortion of shape and scale in a cylindrical projection of the earth is minimal in equatorial regions and maximal at the poles.

Pseudocylindrical projections are like cylindrical projections in that their parallels are straight parallel lines. The difference is that the meridians are curved rather than straight.]]> 2016-09-27 18:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126772239 9: Causes and effects of extreme weather https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126773541 *the causes of a tornado mostly comes from a super cell. 
*the effects of a tornado is high winds, tornado's can kill people by flying them in them in the air and dropping them from high place or people getting hit by flying debris. 
*Causes of a hurricane: They start from a tropical depression in the water, as it gets closer to land it starts to grow into a tropical storm. 
*effects of a hurricane: Strong winds, heavy rain, and the most destructive is water. 
*causes of a tsunamis: There caused by waves due to the sudden movement of earthquakes and landslides
*effects of a tsunami: people can loose there life's and their animals or even other animals that stay outside, there is also landscape damage to the soil due to the debris that got washed away by the waves.
*causes of earthquakes: Plate tectonics are the cause of earthquakes
*effects of earthquakes: your house will be off the foundation if its a bad one, your car will be crashed.
if your lucky you wont even feel the earthquake.]]> 2016-09-27 18:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126773541 7:How does elevation affect vegetation growth? https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126777695  The higher the elevation is the stronger the seedlings are and there is more vegetation growth.]]> 2016-09-27 18:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/clee31/j2ujn6qgcm7i/wish/126777695
