1. Give 2 examples of absolute location
• Coordinates: 37 degrees N, 86 degrees W (any measurement with 0-90 degrees N or S, 0-180 degrees E or W)
• 7031 Louisville Road (or any other address)

3. Define place
• A theme of geography that refers to what makes a place unique
• Human and physical characteristics make it that way
![Page 5: Geography Study Guide Mrs. Burnette Social Studies 7.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103122/56649f3e5503460f94c5ea9c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
4. Why do geographers divide the world into regions?
• To compare different places in the world by physical or human traits
![Page 6: Geography Study Guide Mrs. Burnette Social Studies 7.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103122/56649f3e5503460f94c5ea9c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

18. Describe a Mercator Projection
Latitude lines are spaced out at the poles.
Shapes of the land are correct, but sizes are distorted. (Greenland is as big as South America.)
![Page 20: Geography Study Guide Mrs. Burnette Social Studies 7.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103122/56649f3e5503460f94c5ea9c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
19. Describe a Robinson Projection
• Latitude lines are of equal distance
• Longitude lines meet at the poles
• (20) Most preferred because it is the most accurate when looking at size, shape, and distance between landmasses
