Study Notes
Map Skills
- Ratio scale: expresses distance using numbers (e.g., 1:100,000)
- Line scale: consists of a line divided into primary units to the right and secondary units to the left of zero
- Calculating distance on a map:
- Formula: distance on map × scale of map / 100,000 (for kilometers)
- Formula: distance on map × scale of map / 100 (for meters)
Water Cycle
- Dew point: temperature at which condensation starts
- Condensation: process of water changing from gas to solid
- Phases of water cycle:
- Evaporation from lakes, rivers, and trees
- Condensation in the atmosphere
- Formation of clouds
- Precipitation (rain)
Climatic Regions South of the Sahara
- Equatorial rainforest
- Tropical savannah
- Tropical desert
- Factors influencing dew and frost:
- Dew: occurs during summer, formed when water vapor reaches dew point temperature
- Frost: occurs during winter, formed when dew point is below freezing point
Ancient Egypt
- Development of Egyptian kingdom began around 3100 BC, influenced by the Nile River
- People became farmers, specialized in different activities, and formed a kingdom
Sustainable Utilization of Resources
- Non-renewable resources: cannot be replaced by nature (e.g., minerals, fossil fuels)
- Importance of sustainable utilization:
- Minerals: implement water conservation practices, reduce mining waste
- Fossil fuels: reduce energy consumption, use alternative energy sources
Population Growth and Change
- Factors affecting population growth:
- Birth rate, immigration, better medical technology, improvements in agriculture
- Factors affecting population decrease:
- Death rate, emigration, education
- Urbanization: process of people moving from rural to urban areas, leading to population growth in cities
Urbanization
- Causes of urbanization:
- Push factors (e.g., lack of jobs, poor services in rural areas)
- Pull factors (e.g., better jobs, education, and services in urban areas)
- Problems of urbanization:
- Overcrowding, poor living conditions, lack of services
