• production and statistics

What type of planet is Earth?

• interconnected

• rocky

What type of map projections do Cartographers use?

How do globes and maps help geographers study Earth's diverse systems?

• They allow them to compare characteristics and interactions

• They allow them to see the climate in a specific area

What do Geospatial technologies use to determine exact latitude, longitude, and altitude?

• satellite signals

• maps

• phones

Why do geographers use spatial perspective?

• To determine the population

• To determine the best place to live

• To determine why places are where they are

What are the six elements geographers consider in their studies?

• spatial relationships, places and regions, physical systems, human systems, environment and society, AND the uses of geography

• spatial relationships, places and regions, physical systems, animal systems, environment and society, AND following current trends

• spatial relationships, places and regions, climate systems, animal systems, environment and society, AND the uses of geography
