Geography
BOLTSS
-
Scale- Shows the comparison between the distance on the map and the distance in the actual area mapped.
-
Orientation-Indicates directions, nearly always by an arrow pointing to North

7 main concepts
-
-
-
Movement: The flow of people, products, information and elements of nature
Place: Important parts of the earth to people. Area recognize and identified by people eg. home or school
-
mapping skills
Area Reference: An area reference is a four-figure reference that tells us the grid square in which to find a feature.

Landscape and Landforms
Examples of Landforms
Beach: A beach forms when waves deposit sand and gravel along the shoreline. Some beaches are made of rocks and pebbles. Over time they are worn smooth from being rolled around by waves
Coral Reef: Coral reefs begin to form when free-swimming coral larvae attach to submerged rocks or other hard surfaces along the edges of islands or continents
Mountain Range: Are made when Earth’s crust is pushed up in big folds or forced up or down in blocks. Mountains form over the course of millions of years
Stack: Stacks are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology. They are formed when part of a headland is eroded by hydraulic action
Volcano: Are most commonly formed at the convergence or divergence of tectonic plates. For example in Mid-Ocean Ridges

Mountain
Hazards
Earthquakes: Ground Shaking. If an earthquake generates a large enough shaking intensity, structures like buildings, bridges and dams can be severley damaged, and cliffs and sloping ground destabilised.
Volcanoes: volcanic hazard is the probability that a volcanic eruption or related geophysical event will occur in a given geographic area and within a specified window of time.
Landslide: Vulnerability to landslide hazards is a function of location, type of human activity, use, and frequency of landslide events.
Uses

water source:
Water Sources. Overview. Community water systems obtain water from two sources: surface water and ground water. People use surface and ground water every day for a variety of purposes, including drinking, cooking, and basic hygiene
Karst: landscape underlain by limestone which has been eroded by dissolution, producing ridges, towers, fissures, sinkholes and other characteristic landforms.
Costal
Uses
Recreation:oastal recreation provides significant economic and social benefits to coastal communities and the state
Food:Coastal cuisine is characterized by fresh, bright flavors that allow the simplicity of the ingredients to shine through
Housing: Coastal Housing Partnership is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping local employers attract and retain valued employees by offering their workforce a wide range of housing benefits.
Waste: Coastal Waste is proactive in the preservation of the environment. We are aware of the negative impact of waste disposal on the environment and pride ourselves on offering industry best recycling services
Transport: Coastal transport is an important coastal process that involves the movement of materials along the coast by the action of waves and winds.
Hazards
Riptides: Coastal hazards are physical phenomena that expose a coastal area to risk of property damage, loss of life and environmental degradation. Rapid-onset hazards last over periods of minutes to several days and examples include major cyclones
Tsunamis:Very large tsunamis can cause damage to coastal regions thousands of miles away from the earthquake that caused them. Beaches, lagoons, bays, estuaries, tidal flats and river mouths are the most dangerous places to be
Erosion: Coastal erosion (or shoreline retreat) is the loss of coastal lands due to the net removal of sediments or bedrock from the shoreline.
Values
Spiritual: The notions that allow human beings to establish a relationship with one or more deities.
Economic: Economic value is the value that a person places on a good or service, based on the benefit they get from it
Cultural:. The term “cultural values” refers to a set of beliefs or ideas that a community or society upholds as being important
Aesthetic: Aesthetic value is a judgment of value based on the appearance of an object and the emotional responses it evokes.
knowledge
Oceans: Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Southern Oceans, Indian Oceans and Artic Oceans.
Continents: North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and Antarctica
Types of maps: physical map, Topographical map, Economic map, Road map, Thematic map, Political map, Climate map.
Longitude and Latitude
Equator:a line notionally drawn on the earth equidistant from the poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0°.
