    Study Notes

    Geography Exam Review

    • Maps: All maps must include five essential elements. Provincial/territorial capitals and their locations are also essential to know for the exam review.

    Definitions

    • Map: A visual representation of a geographical area, often with scaled features.
    • Large Scale Maps: Show a small area in detail.
    • Small Scale Maps: Show a large area with less detail.
    • Projection: A method of representing a three-dimensional sphere (Earth) on a two-dimensional surface (map).
    • Globe: A three-dimensional model of Earth.
    • Cardinal Points: North, South, East, and West.
    • Equator: An imaginary line around the middle of Earth.
    • Prime Meridian: An imaginary line running through Greenwich, England.
    • Scale: The ratio between distances on a map and corresponding distances on the Earth's surface.
    • Mercator Projection: A cylindrical map projection used for navigation.
    • Ordinal Points: Points on a map representing order (such as first, second, etc.).
    • Compass Points: Showing direction, typically north, south, east, west, and intermediate directions.
    • Bearings: A method for indicating direction on a map, often expressed as an angle from north.
    • Equal-Area Projection: A map projection that maintains the true area of geographic regions.
    • Longitude: Measures distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
    • Latitude: Measures distance north or south of the Equator.
    • Winkel Tripel Projection: A map projection attempting to balance area, shape, and direction distortion.
    • Time Zones: Regions that observe the same standard time.
    • Capital Cities: The major cities where provincial/territorial governments are located.

    Map Types

    • Specific types of maps are required to be explained and examples included.

    Compass Rose

    • A compass rose displays directional points (cardinal and intermediate directions) and compass bearings.

    Compass Bearings

    • Directions are represented as compass bearings.

    Map Scales

    • Scales are used to indicate the relationship between map distances and real distances.

    Time Zones

    • Various time zones and differences.

    Physical Geography Terms

    • Different terms including: mantle, crust, era, folding, seismologist, faulting, weather, and climate are defined.

    Geologic Time and History

    • A geologic history of Canada. Key eras are identified.

    Calculations

    • Calculation processes are outlined for Natural Increase Rate, Immigration Rate, Emigration Rate, Net Migration Rate, Population Growth Rate, and Doubling Time.

    Population Pyramids

    • Population pyramids should be created using specific data.

    Economic Geography

    • Economic concepts, including primary, secondary, tertiary industries; basic and non-basic services; renewable resources; sustainability; inshore and offshore fishing; logging types; conventional and alternate energy; hydroelectricity; intensive/extensive farming; are defined.

    Unit 5 - Canada and the World

    • International relations (e.g. NAFTA); trade (balance of trade, imports, exports, trade surplus/deficit); and global issues (e.g. global warming) are discussed. Key ideas are highlighted and defined.
