Plate tectonics is a powerful force of natural environment. Humans are not immune
to the movement and interaction of the earth's tectonic plates. The two most
disruptive and dangerous manifestations of plate tectonics are _____ and ____.
EARTHQUAKES and VOLCANOs. - Answer-
Earth quakes and volcanos are manifestations. They have spatial (geographic)
patterns.
What ominous sounding name have humans given to the pattern shown in the
figure? RING OF FIRE
The ring of fire is the volcanic formation that incircle the pacific basin. - Answer-
As the planet is altered, old spatial patterns change and new spatial patterns appear,
prompting geographers to ask why questions.
Fishbone is the patterns of deforestation.
It happens in this pattern because "it results from regulations that determine the
location of roads used for settlement and logging."
Spatial pattern vary from country to country because regulations vary. - Answer-
Climate Regions:
Relationship- This photo essay shows a relationship between _______ and _____.
CLIMATE and VEGETATION - Answer-
Three different precipitation phenomena, that the Pulsiphers consider : Orographic
rainfall, rain belt, and frontal precipitation.
Monsoon are considered an offshoot of the rain belt. The rain belt is the dominate
precipitation phenomena that makes the equatorial areas of the world really wet.
The rain belt is not just an equatorial thing, because it moves. "neighboring
nonequatorial areas also receives some of this moisture when seasonally shifting
winds moves the rain belt north and south of the equator."
A monsoon is not a distinct precipitation phenomenon. it is just wind. it just blows the
rain belt out of its normal latitudinal range. - Answer-
Greenhouse effect with the terms global warming and climate change, which arrows
depicts the greenhouse effect?
The orange area that represents back radiation. This energy helps warm the
atmosphere and earchs surface.
, What would happen without greenhouse gases?
All the energy coming from earths surface would escape into outer space and our
planets atmosphere would be extremely cold. Like mars. This is why we need them.
We are putting too many greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Too many
greenhouse gases is causing the earth to heat up too much causing climate changes
and weather mayham. - Answer-
The burning of fossil fuels accounts for 70% of buildup of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere. What human activity accounts for the other 30%? DEFORESTATION -
Answer-
Map comparison: Unfair because they are inverse and opposite from one another.
The countries cause least greenhouse gas emissions are the countries that are most
vulnerable to climate change. and vice versa.
That places with low levels of human development are more vulnerable to climate
change. - Answer-
Population in Spain and Morocco points to: Climate, vulnerability, and human
development. - Answer-
Globalization:
1) The growth of worldwide flows
2) the changes these flows are bringing about.
These flows and changes goes beyond economics by : A persons attitudes and
vales may be modified because of being in contact with people and ideas from
foreign cultures.
Cultures around the world are affected by the various linkages and flows that make
up globalization.
Geography mediates globalization by ideas and products get modified as they
spread and get tailored to local areas. - Answer-
Colonial Era, the European colonial powers organized patterns of production,
exchange and labor. the colonial era ended decades ago, who or what has taken the
place of colonial powers?
Who organizes today's global patterns of production, exchange and labor? BANKS
and MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS (a company that operates nationally.
Operates in more than one country) An example is Apple.
"their global influence, wealth and importance to local economies, enable
multinational companies"
Multination corporation= Neocolonialism - Answer-
Why do you think the plant moves to Indonesia instead of Malaysia? IN MALAYSIA
AVERAGE WAGES ARE 4 TIMES HIGHER THAN INDONESIA. - Answer-
No control of her livelihood: Cruise line companies could always choose to port
elsewhere and she'd lose her source of income. - Answer-
