Test Review

So today we reviewed for the test we'll be having tomorrow and just going over the stuff we've been studying over the past week or so. There's not really much to say about it so I'm just gonna write my notes here to hit that one hundred fifty word goal minimum. So, if it's 7AM in Bel Air, Maryland then it will be 6AM in Chicago, Illinois. Earth has 24 time zones. Each is fifteen degrees of longitude (360 degrees divided by 15 to get 24). The sun rises in the East and sets in the West. The Prime Meridian is located at 0 degrees longitude and the International Date Line at 180 degrees longitude. The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, UK (Hence the name of Greenwich Mean Time for 0-15 degrees). All time zones converge on the North and South poles and whoever is there gets to decide what time it is. Map scale can be shown in three ways ratio, written scale, and graphic scale. Four types of map distortion are shape, distance, direction, and relative size. 2D models of the Earth are called maps and 3D ones are called globes. NOTES!
