Cara got lost while hiking in the mountains. Fortunately for her, she had a GPS device and a satellite phone. When she reported her location, she indicated that it was 38 degrees north, 105 degrees west. What type of location did Cara give?

Line of latitude only

Absolute location

Relative location

Line of longitude only

What term refers to the parallel lines that measure the distance from the equator?

Latitude

Longitude

Prime Meridians

International Date Line

Where on the globe would you be most likely to find climate that is warm year-round?

near the Equator

near the Poles

in a Temperate climate zone

near the Prime Meridian

Which of the following is NOT a desirable place to live for most people?

an area surrounded by deserts and with little freshwater

a flat area that provides easy travel

An area with a temperate climate and plentiful rainfall

a location close to natural resources that can be sold for money

Examine the map. Based on your understanding of Egypt's geography and the information presented in the population density map, where do the majority of people settle?

the majority of people live near shade from the desert sun

the majority of people live in isolated areas

a majority of people live around a desert oasis

the majority of people live close to an available fresh water source

When comparing a population density map with a climate chart, what conclusion might you draw about areas with moderate temperatures and adequate (enough) rainfall?

They tend to have higher population densities

Climate has no impact on population density

They are likely to have lower population densities

Only extreme climates affect population density

Match each landform to their impacts on human settlement

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Plain		Often serve as natural barriers; can limit accessibility (trade and travel) and agricultural land.
River		Limited water resources lead to sparse populations.
Desert		Flat arable land that is ideal for farming and agriculture; often densely populated.
Mountain		Provide water for drinking and agriculture; often lead to urban development along banks (edges).
