World Geography (Geopolitics: politics particularly pertaining to…

- - - - UNCLOS Treaty
        
        Exclusive Economic Zone - 200 M out from the coast
        
        International Waters - Farther than 200 M out from the coast
        
        Contiguous Zone - 24 M out from the coast
        
        Median-Line Principle - If two countries are less then 200 M apart, then they divide the water evenly
        
        Territorial Waters - 12 M out from the coast
- - - - Absolute Location - Exact location, such as longitude and latitude or an address
      - Relative Location - The location in relation to something else, usually using North, South, East, and West.
  - - - Mercator Projection - Accurately shows directions but distorts size of continents, especially near north and south poles.
      - Eckert IV - Shows correct sizes but distorts shapes.
      - Goodes Homolosene - Accurately shows continents but distorts oceans
  - - - 5 Factors that Effect Climate
        
        Latitude (NOT LONGITUDE) - As latitude increases, annual temp decreases
        
        Closeness to large bodies of water - farther from water = more extreme
        
        Orographic Effect - Windward (Side of the mountain facing the ocean): cool, moist . . . Leeward (Side of the mountain NOT facing the ocean): dry, warm
        
        Ocean currents - Warm currents: warmer climate . . . Cooler currents: cooler climate
        
        Elevation - temp. drops 3 degrees for every 1000 feet
- - - - Immigration - Coming to a country
      - Emigration - Leaving a country
    - - Refugees - People who are forced to leave their country
      - Asylum - The protection granted to refugees
