Geography

Front 1

globe

Back 1

a scale model of the earth

Front 2

map

Back 2

a symbolic representation of all or part of the planet

Front 3

cartographers

Back 3

to create maps that are not interrupted, cartographers use mathematical formulas to transfer information form the three-dimensional globe to the two-dimensional map.

Front 4

great circle route

Back 4

traveling along a great circle is called following a great circle route

Front 5

map projection

Back 5

to create maps, cartographers project the round earth onto a flat surface-making a map projection

Front 6

planer projection

Back 6

a planer projection shows the earth centered in such a way that a straight line coming from the center to any other point represents the shortest distance

Front 7

cylindrical projection

Back 7

a cylindrical projection is based on the projection of the globe onto a cylinder, this projection is most accurate near the equator, but shapes and distances are distorted near the poles

Front 8

conic projection

Back 8

a conic projection comes form placing a cone over part of a globe .

Front 9

location

Back 9

lines on globes and maps provide information that can help your locate places.

Back 10

liens that cross one another forming a pattern called a grid system

Front 11

hemisphere

Back 11

one of the halves into which the earth is divided.

Front 12

latitude

Back 12

circle the earth parallel to the equator and measure the distance north to south of the equator in degrees

equator

Back 13

measured at 0 degree latitude, while the poles lie at latitudes 90 degrees north and 90 degrees south

longitude

Back 14

lines of longitude or meridians circle the earth form pole to pole

Front 15

prime meridian

Back 15

line that measure distance east or west of the prime meridian at 0 degree longitude

Front 16

planer projection

Back 16

a planer projection shows the earth centered in such a way that a straight line coming from the center to any other point represents the shortest distance

longitude

Back 23

circle the earth form pole to pole

Front 24

prime meridian

Back 24

meridians east of the prime meridian are known as east longitude , meridians west of the prime meridian are known as west longitude

Front 25

absolute location

Back 25

you can identify the absolute location of a place by naming the latitude and longitude lines that cross exactly at that place

urban sprawl

Back 33

as metropolitan areas become crowded, they lead to the further areas become crowded, they lead to the further spread of people and suburban development , known as urban sprawl
