CONDE, CARL KEVIN R. BSHRM IV TRAVEL 1
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
1. Flat maps are terribly distorted, because you can’t flatten a ball (what the earth is) into a rectangle (what most maps are).
2. Certain wind patterns are quite predictable and most certainly affect travel (1) In temperature zones (2) In tropical zones (3) Hurricanes
3. Oceans, Seas, Gulfs, Lakes and Rivers.
*A stream is a body of water with a current, confined within a bed and stream banks. Depending on its locale or certain characteristics, a stream may be referred to as a branch, brook, beck, burn, creek, "crick", gill (occasionally ghyll), kill, lick, mill race, rill, river, syke, bayou, rivulet, streamage, wash, run, or runnel.
4. A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain. It often has a distinct summit, although in areas with scarp/dip topography a hill may refer to a particular section of flat terrain without a massive summit.
5. *Ecotourism is a form of tourism involving visiting fragile, pristine, and relatively undisturbed natural areas, intended as a low-impact and often small scale alternative to standard commercial (mass) tourism.
*A Cay is a small, low-elevation, sandy island on the surface of a coral reef.
*A reef is a rock, sandbar, or other feature lying beneath the surface of the water (80 meters or less beneath low water).
*Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow air currents found in the atmospheres of some planets, including Earth.
6. North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
