such as mountains or rivers, as well as
human characteristics such as the people

world?
Humans adapt to their environment
and change elements of it.

5. Human-Environment Interaction: how do people relate
to the physical world?

 Everyday, your warm up will be your Daily Geography.
 You will have 5 minutes to complete this warm-up,
starting at the bell.
 You should be SILENT, while working on Daily
Geography
 You will be graded on COMPLETENESS and writing in
COMPLETE SENTENCES
 You will be graded everyday on these two
criteria
 Contiguous – sharing an edge or boundary;
touching
 Legend (key) – a list that explains the symbols
on a map
 Political map – a map that shows human-made
features and boundaries such as cities,
highways, and countries
 Scale allows us to measure distance on
a map
 To measure scale, we first need to know
the distance from point A to point B on
the map
 For this you can use either a ruler, or simply
a piece of paper
 Second, we need to use the scale
provided on the map, to measure the
distance, and convert it into miles (or
feet, etc)
