Absolute location

A place's absolute location is its exact place on Earth, often given in terms of latitude and longitude.

Themes of geography

The five themes of geography are location, place, region, movement, and human- environment interaction. The five themes enable you to discuss and explain people, places, and environments of the past and present.

Esscential elements

The essential elements are key ideas to study phisical processes and human systems. There are 6: The world in spatial terms, places and regions, physical systems, human systems, enviorment and society, and uses of geography.

Regions

Region is a group of places with similar traits. There are 11: North America, Central America & The Caribbean, South America, Europe, Russia & The Euroasian Republic, Southwest Asia & The North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, East Asia, South east Asia, and Autralia Pacific Realm & Antartica.

Physical Systems

Physical systems include the study of the physical processes that shape Earth's landscape.

Human systems

Different places have different physical systems to consider. Human systems is about studying how humans affect the landscape.

Enviorment and society

Enviorment and society is how humans change the enviorment and use rosources.

The uses of geography

Geographers interpret the post, analyze the present and plan for the future.

continent

A continent is considered to be a large area of ​​land that is differentiated from other smaller or submerged ones by geographical concepts, such as the oceans; cultural, such as ethnography; and the story of each one.

title of a map

Map title is an element in a Map layout that describes the theme or subject of a map.

symbols

Cartographers use symbols to represent geographic features. For example, black dots represent cities, circled stars represent capital cities, and different sorts of lines represent boundaries, roads, highways, and rivers.

labels

Map labels are text postioned on a map in relation to map features, which collectively reflect real-world characteristics and attributes.

labels

Dark green usually represents low-lying land, with lighter shades of green used for higher elevations. In the next higher elevations, physical maps often use a palette of light brown to dark brown. Such maps commonly use reds, white, or purples to represent the highest elevations shown on the map.

relief

Relief is the term used for the differences in height from place to place on the land's surface and it is greatly affected by the underlying geology.

scale

Map scale refers to the relationship (or ratio) between distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground.

legend

A legend displays the meaning of the symbols, colors and styles used to represent geographic data on the map.

compass rose

A compass rose is a symbol on a map that shows the cardinal directions.

locator globe

In cartography, a locator map, or just a locator, is typically a simple map used to show the location of a particular geographic region within its larger and presumably more familiar context.

large-scale map

A large-scale map has a smaller ratio (1:10,000 or 1:25,000) and would have more details such as streets and building footprints

small-scale map

A small-scale map cover large regions, such as world maps, continents or large nations.

Political map

It is a type of map that represents political divisions, or human-created boundaries, of the world, continents and major geographic regions

physical map

A physical map shows the physical features and sometimes elevation of a particular area or region, using contour lines to represent changes in elevation and shape.

Elevation

Elevation is distance above sea level.
