GEOGRAPHY REVIEW
Unit
Overview
In
the first units of this course, you have studied a number of things related to
the geography of the Eastern Hemisphere.
For example, you have used maps and globes to gather and report
information about where and how people live in this part of the world. You have seen how they adapt to and change
their physical environments. People also
sometimes move to new places for many different reasons. When this happens, they take their
traditions, products, and ideas with them.
Let’s review some of what we have learned.
Reviewing
Terms: Part 1
Here
are a few terms that you studied when you were working with globes and
maps.
You
can review the meanings of these terms by clicking on the Quizlet icon. You can practice with flash cards, a matching
exercise, and a gravity game.
Using
Maps
Because
one map cannot show us everything, we sometimes need to use more than one type
to find the information that we need.
Two different maps of Saudi Arabia are pictured here. Use them to answer Questions 16 through 20. Remember to use your computer’s zoon feature
if you have difficulty reading the small print on the maps.
Reviewing
Terms: Part 2
Here
are several terms that you recently used to explain the relationship between
humans and their environment.
You
can also review these by clicking on the Quizlet icon. Remember to practice with the flash cards and
other activities.
Another
Look at Cultural Diffusion
The
process of cultural diffusion brings new ideas and practices to areas where
they were once unknown. This article
explains how the practice of trick-or-treat became part of American
culture. Use this information to
complete Questions 31 through 33.
