Introduction to Meteorology and Climatology (v) Climate Classification and Climatic Regions of the World Climate Classification The A - Tropical Moist Climates: all months have average temperatures above 18 degrees Celsius. B - Dry Climates: with deficient precipitation during most of the year. C - Moist Mid-latitude Climates with Mild Winters. D - Moist Mid-Latitude Climates with Cold Winters. E - Polar Climates: with extremely cold winters and summers. Tropical Moist Climates (A) Tropical moist climates extend northward and southward from the equator to about 15 to 25 degrees of latitude. In these climates all months have average temperatures greater than 18 degrees Celsius. Annual precipitation Af or tropical wet is a tropical climate where precipitation occurs all year long. Monthly temperature variations in this climate are less than 3 degrees Celsius. Because of intense surface heating and high humidity, cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds form early in the afternoons almost every day. Daily highs are about 32 degrees Celsius, while night time temperatures average 22 degrees Celsius.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] SITE INDEX The five themes were written in 1984 by the Joint Committee on Geographic Education of the National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE) and the Association of American Geographers (AAG). They are outlined in greater detail in the NCGE/AAG publication Guidelines for Geographic Education, Elementary and Secondary Schools. THEME 1: LOCATION To know the absolute relative Activity Ideas Using latitude and longitude lines on a world map, have students locate the following: the highest mountain on our continent the capital cities of three foreign countries the national park nearest your town the mouths of three major rivers three major cities in the United States Include examples in the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Hemispheres. Have students list four ways their hometown is connected to a nearby town or city that they have located on a map. Ask students to imagine that they can pick up their school building, just as if it were a toy block, and relocate it anywhere they choose. Discuss how their school lives would be different if their school were located farther north, south, east, or west. Have students list the advantages and disadvantages of each site. Then ask them to analyze their findings and write an essay supporting their choice of sites.

Challenge them to identify the climatic characteristics and controls associated with each region and to explain any variations in climate in similar locations. Have students create and exhibit a map of the world to show the climatic regions. Have each student collect articles and pictures representing climates in different parts of the world and add them to their individual course portfolios. Than ask them to plot the locations on a world map. Ask students to explain how people in different regions have adapted to climate and how they alter climate. Invite students to research various topics (e.g., pollution, ozone depletion, acid rain, global warming), focussing on how people influence and are influenced by climatic change. Ask them to approach this interrelationship from a regional, local, or global perspective.

GEOGRAPHY: Natural Regions Chile consists of three distinct longitudinal structural regions -the Andes, the coastal range and the central Valley- and a series of latitudinal ald altitudinal climatic regions. The Andes The Andes (Cordillera) run along the entire lenght of the eastern part of the country. The watershed between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, which follows the central and often highest ridges of the Andes, was adopted (by agreement with Argentina) as Chile's eastern boundary. In the north, approximately to latitude 27 grades, the Andes consists of two or more almost parallel ranges. The Chilean Andes are highest and most rugged and precipitous in the northern and central parts of the country, with peaks above 6,000 meters (20,000 feet). South America's highest peak, Aconcagua (22,834 feet), rises just east of Chile's border. Mountain passes in this part of the Andes are few and difficult, rising above 10,000 feet. South of Santiago the Andes become gradually lower, with peaks of aproximately 12,00 feet. Passes are much lower and easier to negotiate. In the extreme south, the Andes are fragmented by deep, latitudinal valleys (of glacial origin) deep ocean inlets and channels. The mountains extend trough the island of Tierra del Fuego to the southern end of the continent. Near the Chilean Andes and along their western flank is one of the world's densest concentrations of volcanoes, both extinct and active. There are over 2,000, including 48 that have erupted at least once within the last 100 years. The abundance of volcanic features in Chile and its vicinity is also reflected in the frequent sismic events and conspicous evidence of recent tectonic movements.

A faculty and student committee approved this CORE Distributive course because it will introduce you to ideas and issues that are central to a major intellectual discipline and because it promises to involve you actively in the learning process. This is primarily achieved by active participation in the discussion sections. The discussion sections are structured to enhance active interaction with data sources, major concepts associated with the field, instructors, and fellow students. Please take advantage of the discussion section and the opportunities this course offers you. The objective of this course is to make you aware of the importance of a geographic perspective in understanding the human condition. Major topics associated with the subfields in geography will be introduced while exploring the impacts of the environment, cul­ture, and location on human affairs.

The objective of this course is to make you aware of the importance of a geographic perspective in understanding the human condition. Major topics associated with the subfields in geography will be introduced while exploring the impacts of the environment, culture, and location on human affairs. Comparisons will be made between traditional and modern systems as a means of understanding variations in how people perceive and organize their territory. Geographic theories and real world situations will be presented at the micro (local) and macro (regional and world) level. Winterterm schedule provides for an intensive learning experiences requiring each class period be dedicated to a major topic. This offers the opportunity of providing a critical focal point for the class period and allowing varied activities within the period. As a general rule each class period will consist of a presentation, discussion period , and selected exercises thereby integrating the learning experiences.

20. Geography 1101 – Exam 1 Study Questions 16) What are the various kinds of political boundaries defined in geography (pp.2930). (pp. 50-52). 7) What are climatic regions and what are climographs? http://www.gpc.peachnet.edu/~jengstro/Geog1101/exam1studydun.htm

Geography 1101 – Exam 1 Study Questions Strategies for studying for the exam: Read the textbook. Do the multiple-choice quizzes on the textbook website (at least ¼ of the questions will come directly from these quizzes, whether or not we covered these topics in class). In the textbook, look carefully at the maps and charts. See if you can summarize the patterns in a few brief statements, then look at the captions to see if you got it right! Do not just memorize the terms; try to think of examples for the terms so you are sure you understand what they mean. TERMS ARE MOST CLEARLY DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY. Review the PowerPoint presentations and skim through the supplemental websites. Pages in the text are referenced below and supplemental web site links are suggested. Review ALL PowerPoint presentations we covered in class. Chapter 1: What is geography? What is the perspective that geography uses to look at the world? What are the main themes around which geography is organized? (pp. 6-10) What are the different aspects of globalization, and arguments pro and con? (pp. 6-10 and Aspects of Globalization link)
