REVIEW!!!

Today we continued reviewing for our test on Friday. We worked a lot on time zones. We were reminded that there are 24 time zones throughout the world, each separated by one hour, makes sense, right? We practiced what times it would be if it were a certain time in another place. I feel pretty good about my knowledge about time zones, especially since we can use our time zone map on the test on Friday. We also discussed the 4 kinds of distortion from the projection of maps from the globe to a 2-D map. These four things include distortion of shape, distance between points, altering of direction between points, relative size. We also learned the 3 types of scale. Ratio scale, which looks like this, 1: 24,000. Written sale, 1 inch = 200 miles, and by adding a symbol, it is called a graphic scale. Overall, I feel pretty good about my knowledge on the material that I will be tested on on Friday. The only issue I have is remembering the difference between latitudinal and longitudinal lines and their direction in which they go. Hopefully I remember this information and continue to succeed in this class, as Mr. Schick does a GREAT JOB TEACHING!!!!
