THE ORIGIN OF TIME ZONES

First adoption of a standard time?

Great Britain

Railway companies needed to account for differences between local solar time;

On December 1, 1847 they adopted a standard time that varied by differences in longitudinal location; soon became known as Railway Time

the meridian passing through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London is the time all others are based on

West or East of the line, 4 minutes of time for every degree of longitude

16

THE ORIGIN OF TIME ZONES?

36

GISTING…

GIST Sample: The impacts

Water shortages

Glaciers contain around three-quarters of the fresh water on the planet. Continuous and gradual glacial melt feeds rivers and provides the principal water supply for people in many regions of the world. However, the retreating of glaciers means the release of melt water is becoming more erratic. Projected changes in precipitation, snow-cover patterns and glacial storage will further alter run-off regimes, leading to increased flooding in spring and more droughts in summer.

37

NATURAL PROCESSES IN EUROPE…

GISTing…

Global Warming in Europe and Volcanic Eruptions in Iceland

Complete the GIST for the subsections “floods, droughts, landslides…” in 25 words or less.

Topic: Economic Systems Video

Things you are looking for:

types of economic systems

64

FOUR MAJOR ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

There are four types of economic systems that have evolved as societies have placed different emphasis on different goals and priorities in an effort to answer the three/four economic questions: What to Produce? How goods should be produced? Who to produce the goods for? How to distribute the goods?

65

FOUR MAJOR ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

Traditional

Original economic system in which traditions, customs, and beliefs shape the goods and the services the economy produces, as well as the rules and manner of their distribution. 

66

FOUR MAJOR ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

Market

An economy in which decisions regarding investment, production, and distribution are based on supply and demand, and prices of goods and services are determined in a free price system. 

The major defining characteristic of a market economy is that investment decisions and the allocation of producer goods are mainly made by negotiation through markets.

67

FOUR MAJOR ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

Command

A system where the government, rather than the free market, determines what goods should be produced, how much should be produced and the price at which the goods will be offered for sale.

Mixed

 A system that features characteristics of both capitalism and socialism.

68

WHAT TYPE OF ECONOMIC SYSTEM?!

Which one would these fall into?

- Communist Cuba?- Command

- Amazon Tribe?- Traditional
