Tips for the common test for sec 1s @ 4:32 AM
Hi all, sorry for the late entry, but here are the stuff for you all to learn.For chapter 1, know what is a feature and a environment, know the difference betwen physical and human features.
For chapter 2, learn the Earth's movement and how they create the seasons and what happens to that annoying 1/4 day for each year.
Learn chapter 3 well, many of the questions will be coming from there, things about why is it important to protect our Earth, how the !kung bushmen and city people relationship with their environment.
For chapter 4, know about international time zones, your textbook is more than sufficient to explain what you need to learn. Latitudes and longitudes too are important, learn how to use them. The world map as shown on your notes is important too.
For chapter 5, please take not on the reading of 4 and 6 grid reference (REMEMBER: EASTING-the vertial lines are read FIRST, then NORTHING-the horizontal lines are read next, no commas or dots are needed)
Be able to determine your compass direction and bearings.
Know how to find the contour interval.
Know what is the highest height you can read on the map, look at the contour lines.
I will try to update more along the way before the test itself.
