Study Notes
Key Terms & Definitions
- Define all key terms from the provided "Keys Terms Sheet" focusing on introductory concepts and physical interactions.
What is Geography?
- Geography encompasses four key themes: people-environment relationships, regional landscapes, distribution patterns, and changing geographic patterns.
Map Types
- Identify and understand the characteristics of at least five different map types (e.g., topographic, thematic, choropleth, etc.).
Map Components
- Familiarize yourself with essential map components: title, border, legend, scale, compass rose, and key lines of latitude and longitude. Understand how to interpret each.
Earth's Spheres
- Understand the four main spheres of the Earth: lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), biosphere (life), and atmosphere (air). Be able to describe their interactions.
Atmosphere Layers
- Know the different layers composing the atmosphere (e.g., troposphere, stratosphere, etc.) and their key characteristics.
Geological History & Plate Tectonics
- Understand the concept of plate tectonics and its evidence (fossils, landforms, climate).
- Describe the three main types of plate boundaries: transform, divergent, and convergent (including subduction).
- Differentiate between constructive and destructive forces shaping the Earth's surface.
Glaciation & Erosion
- Explain the impact of glaciation and glacial erosion on landforms.
Rock Cycle
- Understand the rock cycle and the processes involved in the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Be prepared to interpret a diagram.
Landform Regions
- Be familiar with major landform regions and the processes that create them.
Weather & Climate
- Differentiate between weather and climate.
- Understand the factors influencing climate (consider the acronym L.O.W.E.R.N. if provided in class materials).
Climate Graph Interpretation
- Be prepared to calculate and interpret data from climate graphs.
Short Answer Preparation
- Anticipate short answer questions requiring in-depth explanation of concepts covered above. Practice applying your knowledge to hypothetical scenarios or specific examples.
Key Terms
- Review the key terms sheet for definitions and understanding of introductory concepts and physical interactions.
What is Geography?

- Study the five types of maps and their characteristics (e.g., topographic, thematic, choropleth).
Map Parts
- Understand the function and importance of map components: title, border, legend, scale, compass rose, and grid system (latitude and longitude).
Key Lines of Latitude and Longitude
- Know the equator and prime meridian, and how latitude and longitude coordinates pinpoint locations.
Earth's Spheres
- Earth’s systems: lithosphere (solid rock), hydrosphere (water), biosphere (living things), and atmosphere (gases). Study the layers of the atmosphere.
Geological History and Plate Tectonics
- Understand the basics of plate tectonics, including the evidence (fossils, landforms, climate) supporting it.
- Know the types of plate boundaries (transform, divergent, convergent, including subduction), constructive and destructive forces, and resulting landforms.
- Review the rock cycle and the three rock types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
- Understand and interpret glacial erosion and the associated landforms.
- Be familiar with various landform regions.
Weather and Climate
- Understand the difference between weather and climate.
- Learn the characteristics of climate using the LOWERN mnemonic (Latitude, Ocean Currents, Winds, Elevation, Relief, Nearness to Sea).
Climate Graphs
- Practice interpreting and calculating data from climate graphs.
