Make sure all the water is labeled correctly.On your next quiz, you must know:

•4 continents•4 oceans

•Mediterranean, Black, Caspian, Arabian Sea•3 deserts

•3 mountains

You must also be able to divide the 30 events from the 30 Events Timeline assignment into the three time periods:

Rivers in China

This is two different rivers. The Tigris on top and the Euphrates on the bottom. They merge and flow

into the Persian Gulf.

First step: Color all the water blue. This makes the land regions “pop out.” Label all oceans, seas and

rivers in black ink, spell correctly, and do it neatly so you can read it.

Physical “landforms” = physical features of the earth’s surface

• Mountains• Canyons/trenches• Lakes, rivers, seas• Deserts• Rainforests• Taiga (evergreen forests)• Plains/Plateaus• Peninsulas/Islands

This is a “physical map” of the world.

Landforms have presented obstacles to humans in the past. Mountains, oceans, and deserts PREVENTED human interaction for thousands of years. Groups developed different languages, religions, and customs because of their long separation from each other.

Today, these landforms hardly cause any travel trouble. Or, do they? Will rising sea levels matter?

Please finish your “Geography Matters Map” today. I will review all the land forms first, and then you may work independently on it. You need yellow, brown, green, and blue pencils.

If we have extra time we will work on timeline notes.

Where do all rivers originate? Where do all rivers end? What determines which direction the current of a river will flow?

So, why is your map titled the “Geography Matters” Map?

You must also label the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Aral Sea. You must know them for the test, as well.

Why are these languages in this particular pattern?

There are only 5 races in the homo sapiens species. Caucasian (white), African black, Asian (yellow), Indian (red) and the second black (Australoid). All other names are a combination of the five races.
