Environmenttal Geography

Ecological Footprint

Ecological Footprint is when you measure the demand of human to nature and how much it can support it.

Conflict in using natural resources

This is an issue because everyone need natural resources

Declining fish stocks

Fish stocks are declining worldwide because of over fishing.

Soil deplesion and erosion

Soil is a valuable resource because it provides land, air and etc.

Human Geography

Aboriginal questions and demography

The aboriginals are merging with the city

Population density

Population density is taking a countries population and

Population Growth rate

Population Growth rate is when the population increases and there are more people in the country both

Population Pyramid

Population pyramids are used for finding the numbers of both male and female and is also used for finding how much people live is that age.

Canada's Aging population

Canada's aging population is an advantage because there more elder people and the average population of 100+ increases.

Immigration

Immigration is when a person or family leaves there own country and move to another country.

Push and pull Factor

Push and pull factors apply for countries and for immigrants because all countries have benifits like Canada have free health care and its a free country.

Aboriginals in the City

Aboriginals in the city have to change there appearance to fit in the city because if they don't they will be judged.

Aboriginal Stereotypes

There are different aboriginal stereotypes and that each person is speacial in there own way and that not all of the aboriginals were sad.

Affects of residential schools

Residential schools were like torture chambers for the aboriginal kids and it was there worse fear they were beaten up punished and killed.

Mapping Skills

Compass Rose

The compass is used for looking for which direction you going to.

Scale

Scales are used for finding out the km from a map from cm to actual km size in real life.

Latitude/Longitude

Latitude and longitude is used for landing planes

How to use map

Map are very esential for finding places and things.

Types of Map

There are different types of maps which are needed for different things like weather, topographic maps, thematic map etc.

Distance on map

Distance on map is when you measure the distance from point A to point B.

Physical Geography

Geological History

This Era is 4.6-570 million years old and at this same era was the formation of the Canadian shield.

This era is 570-245 million years old and the Appalachian Mountains were created in this era.

This era is 245-66 millions years old the Interior plains was created and so was the coastal and rocky Mountains

This Era is 66-to present old and the Appalachian eroded to create the interrior plains.

Plate Tectonics

Continental Drift

The continental drift was when the pangea broke of and we know them as our continents.

Pangea

The Pangea was when all the continents were joined together 200 million years ago.

Ring of fire

The ring of fire is where most of the earthquakes happen like in Phillipines, Japan, midlle american trench.

Structure of earth

The crust

The crust is the outer layer of our planet earth and its where we humans live in.

Mantle

The mantle is the second layer of the earth and its made out of different materials like iron, aluminium, calcium, sodium and more.

Outer Core

The outer core of the earth is made liqiud and is made out of iron, and nickel

Inner core

The core of the earth and is made of of iron and is 7000-9000º F. The core is also almost the size of the moon. And creates something called the magnetic field.

Formation of Canada

When the Pangea was still existant at that time all the continent were still one, but then the continential drift happened which caused the continents to break apart and now we have the different continents we know today.

PPMC

Precambrian Era

This era lasted for 4.6-570 million years

Paleozioc era

This era lasted for 570-245 million years

Mesozoic era

This era lasted for 245-66 millions years

Cenozioc era

This Era lasted for 66-to present

Rock Cycle

Sedimentary

Sedimentary or sediment rocks are called sediment rocks because they are formed by the process of accumulation or deposition of small particles of different rocks.

Igneous

Igneous or known as igneous rock is melted rock or is called magma.

Sediments

Sediments are rocks that have been breaking down by the process of weathered and erosion like wind, water, ice and more.

Magma

Magma is is known as molten rock but when its cooled down its form is called igneous rock.

Climate vs Weather

Climate is the normal conditions like temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall and more. And weather is reffering to the daily temperature or percipitation.

Climate Factors (LOWERN Near water)

Latitude

This thing locating a landing spot for planes because the earth is a circle.

winds

Winds also go in any direction which affects the climate in many ways.

Ocean currents

Ocean currents are current that go in any direction which affects the climate.

relief

Relief is when air goes through hight peaks and leads the water it from the high peaks downwards.

elevation

Elevation is different levels of land like mountains or the great plains which have different elevation

near water

Areas near water have there climate moderated by water so is the summer temperature.

Subtopic

Climate Graphs and Calculations

Climate graphs are graphs that calculate the yearly temperature and the precipitation.

Landform Regions

Canadian Shield

The Canadian Shield was created around the Precambian Era

Great Lakes-
St. Lawrence Lowlands

The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands were created around the mesozoic era.

Interior Plains

The Interior plains were created around the mesozoic era.

Western Cordillera

The western Cordillera was created around the mesozoic era

Appalachians

The Appalachians mountains were created around the Palezoic era

Innuitian Mountains

The Innuitian Mountains were created around the mesozoic era

Hudson Bay-Arctic Lowlands

This Hudson Bay-Arctic Lowlands were created around mesozoic era
