What is outline form?

HOW TO DO OUTLINE FORM

• First there is a heading

– (above)

• Then there is a bullet list below

– (like this)

• The information is concise

– (short and clear)

• The information is critical

– (very important)

Outline Form, continued…

• It’s organized in CATEGORIES!

– Things that go with the above category are indented

• moved to the right

– A new category is moved back to the left

• All notes will be in outline form

GEOGRAPHY- THE BASICS

(new big section in your notes)

Voorhees

• I. How we talk about it:
• A. 4 HEMISPHERES
• 1. Northern
• 2. Eastern
• 3. Southern
• 4. Western
• B. Latitude and Longitude
• 1. coordinate on grid, like in

math “run before you jump”

• 2. Latitude (“flatitude”)
• 3. Longitude

(“long like a giraffe’s legs”)

Global Positioning System

• C. GPS= Global Positioning System
• GPS satellites continuously transmit data

about the satellite’s position and the current time

• Military and civilian navigators use the

information gathered to compute their

• wn position
• 1. Several satellites needed to

give location

• 2. It will be in latitude and

longitude form

• 3. “a is before o” (lat, long)
• What are the gps coordinates

for Appomattox?

A Navstar GPS satellite is launched into orbit by a Delta rocket

PANGEA…

• The Earth has

been through much change!

• II. Features of the Earth
• A. Most scientists believe the Earth formed about 4.6

billion years ago

• 1. Dinosaurs lived from about 230 million to about 65

million years ago

• 2. 3 million to 2 million years ago= humans

• B. Continents and Oceans
• 1. Seven continents:

– Africa – Antarctica – Asia – Australia – Europe – North America – South America

• 2. Five oceans:

– Arctic – Atlantic – Indian – Pacific – Southern

Mount Everest- 29,035 ft

Appalachian Mountains

• East coast of

Americas= older action

• Dull- like an old

dog’s tooth

Rocky Mountains

• West coast of

Americas= newer action

• Sharp- like a puppy’s

tooth

MOVING OF THE PLATES

• C. The movement of the

plates formed the features

• f the earth
• 1. Mountains- from

converging plates

• 2. Volcanoes from subduction

action

• D. Topography
• 1. Deals with the

features on the surface of an area of land

• a. mountains
• b. rivers
• c. ponds, roads
• 2. Measurement/

height above sea level

• Draw this:

3000 1500 100 100 1500 3000

BC or BCE AD or CE Larger to smaller  Smaller to larger 

• A. Time Line
• 1. BC= Before Christ or BCE= Before Common Era
• a. Left side of time line
• b. Order= large to small approaching “zero”
• c. (Like the negative numbers in math!)
• 2. AD= anno Domini (Latin for “in the year of the

Lord”) or CE= Common Era

• a. Right side of time line
• b. Order= small to large going away from “zero”
• c. (Like the positive numbers in math)

• B. Primary and Secondary Sources
• 1. Primary
• a. First hand
• b. Most important
• c. Original
