GEOGRAPHY – PLACES THAT BRING TRAVEL ALIVE!
3Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2015. All rights reserved.
Geography - an area of study that deals with the location of countries, cities,
rivers, mountains and lakes.
Working in the travel and tourism industry, it is important that you be familiar with
travel destinations from around the world.

4Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2015. All rights reserved.
The best way to look at travel destinations is to look at a globe.
Flat maps distort the world map although we use them the most.
Keep the following basic information in mind when planning travel:
• Equator - an imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both
poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and
constituting the parallel of latitude 0°.
• Hemispheres – a half of the earth, usually as divided into northern and
southern halves by the equator, or into western and eastern halves by an
imaginary line passing through the poles.
• Latitude lines - the angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's
equator, or of a celestial object north or south of the celestial equator, usually
expressed in degrees and minutes.
• Longitude lines - the angular distance of a place east or west of the meridian
at Greenwich, England, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object,
usually expressed in degrees and minutes.

LAND
6Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2015. All rights reserved.
Continents are the largest masses of land on earth.
Islands are land surrounded by water on all sides and are frequent destinations
for vacation or pleasure travel. Hawaii and islands in the tropics are popular
vacation destinations.
Mountains are high outcropping of rock and soil. The volcanic mountains are
among some of the most impressive including Hawaii’s Kilauea. The Kilauea has
been erupting continuously for over 20 years.
Peninsulas and capes are projections of land into water and have water on
three sides of the projection.
Capes are smaller projections and an example is Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

24 time zones Parallel longitude lines
International Date Line
TIME ZONES
7Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2015. All rights reserved.
The world is divided into 24 time zones and will tend to parallel longitude lines.
International date line is an imaginary line that goes north and south through the
Pacific Ocean, one day is on the east side of the line and the following day is on
the west side.
Ask students to identify the time zones on a globe or map.

60% + of the earth is covered in water
• Bodies of water include: Gulfs
Lakes
Oceans
Rivers
Seas
WATER
8Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2015. All rights reserved.
More than 60% of the earth is covered in water.
• Gulfs – large areas of water that penetrate into land such as the Gulf of
Mexico and usually open onto a sea or ocean.
• Lakes – smaller than gulfs and seas, usually have fresh water and are usually
surrounded by land.
• Oceans – largest bodies of water all interconnected
• four oceans:
• Atlantic
• Artic
• Indian
• Pacific
• Rivers – large streams of water that empty into other bodies of water.
• Seas – next to the largest, usually salty and open to or sometimes a part of an
ocean.

• In general, unpredictable
• Predictable:• Hurricanes
• Temperate zones
• Tropical zones
WEATHER
9Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2015. All rights reserved.
Certain wind patterns are quite predictable and can affect travel.
Hurricanes – storms with winds 74+ miles per hour. 80% occur from August
through October and affect travel in Florida, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico
and Southeast Asia.
Temperature zones – areas between the Arctic or Antarctic circles and the
Tropics – winds blow west to east.
Tropical zones – regions between approximately 23 degrees north of the
equator and 23 degrees south of the equator – wind blow from east to west.
Most resorts are located in this area.
