    Extractions: Position on the Earth's Surface All locations can be defined as precise points on the earth's surface identified by a grid system of latitude and longitude (absolute location). Location can also be communicated by describing a place in relationship to other places (relative location). Students learn about location when asked to: Place: Physical and Human Characteristics All places on the earth have distincitve features that give them meaning and character and distinguishe them from other places. Places may be charecterizedby their physical features (climate and land forms) and human characteristics (population, settlement, and economics). Students learn about place when asked to: describe different kinds of shelters based on environment and culture; use text references and maps to describe the climatic characteristics of a nation or region;

    Extractions: Back to Top Relationships with places: humans and environment How do people adjust to their environment? What are the relationships among people and places? How do they change it to better suit their needs? Geographers examine where people live, why they settled there, and how they use natural resources. For example, Hudson Bay, the site of the first European settlement in Canada, is an area rich in wildlife and has sustained a trading industry for hundreds of years. Yet the climate there was described by early settlers as "nine months of ice followed by three months of mosquitoes." People can and do adapt to their natural surroundings. Controlling our surroundings Everyone controls his or her surroundings. Children can see how the furniture is arranged in their home. Furniture is placed to suit the shape of rooms and according to how people will use it. Ask children to consider what the yard would look like if it were not changed by mowing the grass, raking the leaves, or planting shrubs or trees. What would happen if you did not water the plants?

    Extractions: Talking Tactile Atlas of World Maps A sample map plate showing the African Continent as it will appear in the new Talking Tactile Atlas. The National Geographic Talking Tactile Atlas of the World . A collection of 40 audio/tactile maps and accompanying software designed for the TTT. The Atlas allows individuals who cannot access printed material to explore maps and learn about the geopolitical world. Users place one of the raised line, textured and color printed map sheets on the TTT, and then press on various regions and points to hear human-voice identifications of each feature. A “main menu” is accessed by pressing tactile control icons on the side of the map sheet; this offers a range of tool options providing in-depth information, including historical timelines, interesting facts, language samples and a distance calculator. At the heart of the Atlas is the Index tool, which permits the user to scroll through an alphabetical listing of all places represented in the Atlas. The user can select a desired place name; then the system serves as an audio “coach”, guiding the user’s hand to the requested destination on the map. This is a crucial (and unprecedented) accommodation that enables individuals who may never have been confronted by a map before to independently locate places of interest to them.

    Extractions: The need for geographic literacy has never been greater or more obvious than in today's tightly interrelated world. Students must understand the world's physical features, how they blend with social systems and how they affect economies, politics and human interaction. Isolated geographic facts are not enough. To grasp geography and its effect on individuals and societies, students must know the broad concepts of spatial patterns, mapping, population and physical systems (land, air, water). The combination of geographic facts and broad concepts provides a deeper understanding of geography and its effects on individuals and societies. Learning Standard Locate, describe and explain places, regions and features on the Earth.

    Extractions: Red Hat Linux New Zealand is considered to be the most isolated country in the world in a geographical sense. New Zealand is on the opposite side of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) which makes New Zealand the first country in the world to see each new day. This means the country is 12 hours ahead of England, and 24 hours ahead of some of the nearby Pacific Islands due to the International Date being nearby. If you were able to travel from New Zealand through the centre of the earth, and continued to the otherside, you would find yourself in and area between North Africa and Southern England.

    Extractions: Advertisement I'm frequently asked about which region a state lies within, for instance, "Is Kansas a Midwestern state or a Central state?" Unfortunately, the U.S.A. is composed of many "regions" and there is no official designation for each state. You can place Kansas as a Midwestern state and just as easily call it a Central state, just as you could call Oregon a Pacific state and a Northwestern state (although the term Pacific Northwest is frequently also used.) Below is a map that provides an indication of the diveristy of regional terms used in the United States. This map provides just a small sample of the terms used. There are no boundaries on this map because these regions are of course relative and represent different things to different people.

    The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program provides earthquake information for current and past earthquakes, hazards and preparedness information, and education resources for teachers and students.  
    http://wwwneic.cr.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/bulletin.html
    
    Extractions: 33 km is used as a default depth for earthquakes determined to be shallow, but whose depth is not satisfactorily determined by the data. Default depths of 5 or 10 km are usually used in mid-continental areas and on mid-ocean ridges since earthquakes in these areas are usually shallower than 33 km. UTC
