• Up to this point the PowerPoint presentations have been designed to deliver content
• This presentation is designed to stimulate inquiry and analysis
• We will examine world maps of the “elements” of geography and look for patterns
Connections
• We will now examine maps of:
• Landforms
• Climate
• Soil
• Vegetation
• Fauna •As we examine these maps look for patterns …
Connections• Patterns – what patterns?
• As you look at the maps ask yourselves the following:
• Is there a pattern from east to west?
• Is there a pattern from north to south?
• Is there a pattern from interior to coast?
Connections• Patterns – what patterns?
• As you look at the maps ask yourselves the following:
• Are mountains related to a specific type of vegetation?
• Do certain animals live in specific climate zones?
• Are rich soils located in specific regions related to moisture or temperature?
Connections
• So many questions …
• And I’ll bet you can come up with many more …

What do we mean by connections?
• Example (not to be used in presentations)
• Polar regions and high altitudes exhibit low biodiversity.
• This is partly a result of low temperature (energy).
• Low temperature results from high albedo.
• Note the linking of material from many units in this course.
