Global Perspectives Chapter 1

the study of physical features of the Earth and atmosphere and how human activity affects it ( resources, population, land use)

gives basic shape of the land (no cities)

shows mountains and depths

shows temp

shows the economic states of countries around the world

give context, shapes and sizes, location, physical features, can show distance

Vertically measures north and south

Horizontal line meaures east to west

place, region, interaction, movement, location

Physical and HUman characteristics, define a place

Groups of Places with one common characteristic, common element could be human or physical characteristic (CVG airport, ohio river)

Formal: USSR Functional: CVG and Perceptual: the midwest

Intentional and accidental changes, how poeple use their enviroment

To study a place you needs its location,Absoulte and Relitive

Absolute is exact (cooridnates) and relative is approximate

The idea that places do not remain in isolation, people, goods, ideas move around

culutre and immigration

is the state of an atmospere at a place and time regards to heat, wind, etc.

average wether in one place

When Earths atmostphere is compared to gladd walls and roof. All places in Earth have diiferent amounts of heat and light

Is formed by the interaction of plant life, animal life, and the physical enviroment they live in.

A tree shedding its leaves annually

A group of cone-bearing seed plants

A group that includes small evergreen and bushes

Grassland in North america “Tall grass”

Where tempreture are always cold

A layer of soil just below the surface, stays permentaly frozen

near equator, warm temo, trees form canopys

plants shed once a year, temprete climate, rainfall

Grow in warm land near equato dry and wet (forest fires)

alwats cold, specialized plants can live

study of populatoin

square mile/population density

(or Arable square mile/ population density)

Climate, technolgy, events, immigtion

not: emmigration, bad food sercruity

Equilibrium: birth rates, immigration= death rates, emmigration

when you bring culture and blend it in with another

adopting a whole another culture

countryside

making a place more city like

refers to a place of origin for a particular culture where a certain method of living thrives and then disseminates, as it is popular enough to be picked up by large amounts of people.

4 things::

• defined teritory

• population

• soverignity

• a government

realtionship bewteen central government and their smaller units of government

All the power is in a central government (China, UK)

A form of government in which power is held partly by a central authority and partly by a number of regional or state governments.

When a group of people or nations form an alliance, it is called a confederation, allowing each member to govern itself but agreeing to work together for common causes (Soviet Union)

a form of government in which one small party or a single person holds all the power, Mussionli and Hitler

System of terror, using such instruments as violence and secret police. Benito Mussolini in 22-43

a state governed by a democracy.

fend for yourself

Private buissness all means of production

government owns all means of production

Features of all 3 (combines private ans public)

would take millions of years to replesnish (oils, fossil fuels)

can be replenished (soil)

Materials in the natrual enviroment that people value or use to satisfiy their needs

-splitting of atoms (Chernobyl)

first form of energy, uses wheel

takes water from below the surface using its heat and turns it into energy, and puts it back under the surface to restart the process

heat from the sun, clenaest energy

rely directly on natural rescources, fishing, foresty, mining, farming

TAKES FROM THE EARTH

• using raw materials to produce MANUFACTURE

SERVICE

RESEARCH

only feeding certin people (in villiage)

over produce to provide for many

ex= go out im= taking in

export more then import

Gross demoestic product, total values of goods and services produced in a year divded by the total population
