    Study Notes

    Geography Representation

    • The most accurate way to show the geography of the planet is through a globe, which provides a three-dimensional representation of Earth's surface.

    Cardinal Directions

    • Cardinal directions are the four main points of a compass: North, South, East, and West.
    • These directions are essential for navigation and geographic orientation.

    Intermediate Directions

    • Intermediate directions are the directions that fall between the cardinal directions: Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest.
    • They help provide a more precise location and enhance navigation.

    Pinpointing Location

    • Maps often use a coordinate system, consisting of latitude and longitude, to pinpoint your location on the globe.
    • Latitude lines run parallel to the equator, while longitude lines run from pole to pole.

    Dividing the Planet

    • Dividing the planet horizontally down the middle is called the Equator.
    • The Equator separates the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
