1 Unit 1 Lesson 1 Geography, etc Cartographers,, or map makers, face two primary problems when drawing maps: 1) showing proper size, & 2) showing accurate shape. The processes, or methods, used by cartographers to make maps are called map projections.

2 Unit 1 Lesson 1 Geography, etc General Geographic Influences on Climate 1) The further from the equator you travel, the cooler it becomes. 2) Land warms & cools more quickly than water. Large bodies of water can moderate temperature changes. 3) In general, the higher the elevation,, the cooler the climate. 4) Mountain ranges can affect regional rainfall. 5) Ocean currents can greatly affect a region s climate.

3 Unit 1 Lesson 1 Geography, etc Basic Chronological Terms B.C.- before Christ. (please note: the higher the date, the earlier it is.) A.D.- anno domini (if a date does not have BC with it, it is AD) decade- ten years. century- 100 years. millennium- 1,000 years. Please note that if you read 16th century, or Sixteenth century, this would mean the 1500s!

4 Unit 1 Lesson 2 Prehistory Prehistory is the time period before man had invented writing. It is difficult to determine exactly what happened during this period because all the historian has to work with are the fossils and artifacts that have been left behind. The accurate interpretation and dating of these items becomes very important.

5 Unit 1 Lesson 2 Prehistory Difficulties in Interpreting Archaeological Findings 1) Most dating methods are not as accurate as we are led to believe. 2) The archaeological evidence we have is always incomplete, just a sample of a time and place. Since this sample may not be truly representative, any conclusions we draw should be tentative.

6 Unit 1 Lesson 2 Prehistory Important Early Periods 1) Paleolithic Period (Paleo- old, lithos-stone) stone) 2) End of the Ice Age 3) Neolithic Period (Neo- new) 4) Bronze Age 5) Iron Age

7 Unit 1 Lesson 3 Civilization Factors Required for Civilization 1) The most important requirement is a surplus of food. 2) A surplus of food then allows for a diversification of labor.

9 Unit 1 Lesson 3 Civilizations

16 Unit 1 Lesson 5 Hinduism & Buddhism Hinduism is polytheistic,, with million gods. (poly- many, theos-god) The three most important Hindu gods are: Brahma, Vishnu, & Shiva. Brahman is a single force that unifies everything in the universe. All life seeks union, or moksha,, with the universal soul, or Athman. Moksha requires complete purification.

17 Unit 1 Lesson 5 Hinduism & Buddhism Hindus believe in reincarnation (that people are reborn to earth as another life form after death) because they believe it is impossible to achieve purification in one lifetime. This rebirth is NOT a good thing!

18 Unit 1 Lesson 5 Hinduism & Buddhism To achieve moksha, a person must progress upwards through the caste system by meeting the requirements, called dharma,, of the caste. Your record of how well you fulfill the dharma is called your karma. You are rewarded for good karma, punished for bad karma you get what you deserve based on your past life.
