2. Blue planet mostly water
Equator imaginary lines, divides the Earth
in 2 equal parts or hemispheres.
Which
hemisphere has
more land?
Which
hemisphere has
more water?
3. The Earth is part of the Solar System.
Why is life on Earth possible?
4. Life on Earth is possible due to:
Atmosphere
Water
Moderate temperature
5.
6. We use a system of imaginary lines (meridians & parallels)
that form a grid that enables us to locate any point on Earth
by using geographic coordinates.
7. Imaginary lines that go from pole
to pole. The main meridian
(meridian 0º) is the Greenwich
meridian, and it’s used to calculate
the longitude.
Longitude: distance measured in
degrees from any point to the
Greenwich meridian. It varies from
0º to 180º either East or West
from the Greenwich meridian.
8. Imaginary lines that encircle the
Earth perpendicular to its axis.
The main parallel (parallel 0º) is
the Equator, and it’s used to
calculate the latitude.
Latitude: distance measured in
degrees from any point to the
Equator. It varies from 0º to 90º
either North or South from the
Equator.
13. a) P.10, exercise 1.
b) P.16, exercise 4.
c) Copy & complete the following diagram of Earth. Include:
Equator
Greenwich meridian
Tropic of Cancer (23.5º N)
Tropic of Capricorn (23.5º S)
Arctic Circle (66.5 ºN)
Antarctic Circle (66.5º S)
North Pole (90º N)
South Pole (90ºS)
d) Complete the worksheet.
14. The Sun’s rays fall with a different inclination at different
latitudes.We distinguish different climate zones:
WARM ZONE
TEMPERATE ZONE
COLD ZONE
WARM ZONE
TEMPERATE ZONE
TEMPERATE ZONE
COLD ZONE
COLD ZONE
15. e) Copy & complete the following diagram of Earth, including:
Equator
Tropic of Cancer (23.5º N)
Tropic of Capricorn (23.5º S)
Arctic Circle (66.5 ºN)
Antarctic Circle (66.5º S)
North Pole (90º N)
South Pole (90ºS)
Warm zone
Temperate zone
Cold zone
f) Name the imaginary lines that delimit the…
• Warm zone
• Temperate zone
• Cold zone
26. Most of the Earth, 71%,
is covered by water,
and it’s mostly in the
southern hemisphere.
Land only occupies
29%, and it’s mostly in
the northern
hemisphere.
28. a) P. 18 exercises 2, 3, 4, 5
b) Draw a diagram with the internal layers of Earth.
c) Draw a map of the world with the 6 continents and the 5
oceans.
d) Define the following concepts:
Tectonic plates
Subduction
Rift
Crust
Mantle
Lithosphere
e) What percentage of the Earth’s surface is land? And water?

31. Large areas of flat terrain, no higher than
200m above sea level.
33. Elevations of the terrain above the surrounding
land with steep slopes and an altitude of more than
600m.
Sierras (old mountain ranges): small
groups and not very high mountains.
Cordilleras (young mountain ranges):
large groups and rather high mountains.
43. A steep incline found between the continental
shelf and the abyssal plain.
44. Oceanic ridges
(dorsal oceánica):
underwater mountain ranges.
Oceanic trenches
(fosa oceánica):
narrow, long depressions on
the ocean floor.
Large flat areas of the deep ocean floor (4,000-
5,000m below sea level). In them we can find:
45. Relief is…
Formed by INTERNAL FORCES:
Orogeny
Earthquakes
Volcanoes
Transformed by EXTERNAL FORCES:
Atmosphere
(wind, temperature)
Water
Living things
EROSION TANSPORTATION SEDIMENTATION
57. a) P. 20 exercise 2
b) P. 22 exercises 5, 6
c) P. 23 exercise 1
d) What is the concept for the following
definition? “The process by which the
surface of the earth is worn away”.
e) Name 5 factors that erode the relief.
f) What’s orogeny? When does it happen?
58. Freshwater is very scarce on Earth.
97,5% salted water
2,5% fresh water
59. Fresh water
In rivers, glaciers, lakes,
aquifers.
Salted water
In seas & oceans
Constantly moving: waves, tides & ocean currents.
