Extractions: Curious World Maps includes a comprehensive database of political boundaries, coastlines, rivers, major roads, named places, and relief topography covering the entire world. The data, from sources such as the US Geological Survey, is fully prepared for immediate use with Curious World Maps. You can create your own color scheme styles for presenting the data to suit your corporate style, or you can use optional Natural Earth coloring for real-world realism. If you want to create maps that show even greater detail, or if you are concerned with a limited geographical area only, these optional data packages are available for World Maps. Adding in-depth street data or high-resolution relief topography allows you to produce detailed, high quality maps right down to a local street corner and beyond.

Extractions: Fosters awareness of current issues from a geographic perspective. Develops a lifelong geographical imagination. Promotes an easier connection between topical and regional material by emphasizing how their processes are linked (e.g., technological innovation and the varying ways technology is adopted and modified by people and places). Facilitates meaningful comparisons between people and places in different parts of the world, such as how the core-generated industrialization of agriculture shapes gender relations in households, both in the core and in the periphery. Presents the salient aspects of new emphases in academic human geography (e.g., the new geopolitics and its role in the social construction of spaces and places). Captures students' enthusiasm and gives context to important relationships.

Depth 33 km is used as a default depth for earthquakes determined to be shallow, but whose depth is not satisfactorily determined by the data. Default depths of 5 or 10 km are usually used in mid-continental areas and on mid-ocean ridges since earthquakes in these areas are usually shallower than 33 km.

http://school.discovery.com/lessonplans/programs/landmarks/

Extractions: Discuss with students why people build structures. Ask them to name important structures in their hometown or state. Help students understand that structures usually serve a function, but they can also serve as symbols that identify a place or represent a cultural belief or value of a place. Such structures are called landmarks. Two famous landmarks are the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty. Ask students what places and beliefs these two landmarks represent. You may want to share the following summaries with your students: The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris, France. It was built in 1889, and at 300 meters was the tallest building in the world. The tower was met with mixed emotions when it was first built. Many Parisians believed its iron framework was an eyesore, despite the kudos it received as an architectural feat. Over time, the Eiffel Tower has become a well-known symbol of Paris.

Extractions: Bitter cold winds whip the earth's polar regions, the Arctic in the north and the Antarctic in the south. The core of the Arctic is a great ocean the Arctic Ocean parts of which are covered all year round by ice that drifts about the North Pole. The Arctic Ocean has many thousands of big and small islands and is almost surrounded by land: the northern parts of Europe, Asia and North America. These regions are very cold: the coldest temperature ever known on earth -88 degrees C (-126 degrees F) was recorded in Antarctica. The average winter temperature in the Arctic is about - 30 degrees C. The Arctic summer can be relatively warm. In fact It gets warm enough that people living within some parts of the Arctic circle can grow vegetables.

http://www.wcs.org/humanfootprint

Extractions: The Human Footprint Analysis of the human footprint map indicates that 83% of the land's surface is influenced by one or more of the following factors: human population density greater than 1 person per square kilometer, within 15 km of a road or major river, occupied by urban or agricultural land uses, within 2 km of a settlement or a railway, and/or producing enough light to be visible regularly to a satellite at night. 98% of the areas where it is possible to grow rice, wheat or maize (according to FAO estimates) are similarly influenced. However human influence is not inevitably negative impact in fact conservation organizations, including the Wildlife Conservation Society, have shown remarkable solutions that allow people and wildlife to co-exist. Nature is often resilient if given half a chance. Human beings are in the position of offering or withholding that chance. The Last of the Wild The last of the wild represent the largest, least influenced areas (defined as above) in all the biomes of the world in all the world's regions. They represent a practical starting place for long-term conservation, places where the full range of nature may still exist with a minimum of conflict with existing human structures. The Wildlife Conservation Society works to save wild life and wild lands all over the world, while inspiring people to care about and understand nature through the largest system of urban wildlife parks in New York City.
