ACE

Whoa! It has been a week since our last geography lesson with Ms J. due to our Chinese New year celebrations. The following will be the summaries my partner and I have came up with for our ACE Geography lessons last week. They will be separated into different posts.
Last Thursday, 10th February, Ms J. had discussed with us of What is an atlas and the scales that are on the atlas. Well, what is an atlas then? It is a book of maps we might say. Moreover, maps find location. AND, a location varies from scales. There are two types of scales, LARGE scales and small scales. For Singapore, we are living on a very small scale and we are classified under the Asia Pacific Region. Large scales mostly refers to land. Under the topic land, we can classify them in eight different ways. The world, the region, the seven continents, countries cities, towns, comunities/ villages and individuals. All of them link together to create one big map. The world includes regions, regions includes the continents, the continents include countries and so on until it reaches the individuals.
How can we differetiate them then? We do so due to their scales, their population and their land area. The large bodies of the water on the Earth are divided into five oceans. The pacific ocean, indian ocean, Southern ocean, Arctic Ocean and lastly, the Atlantic ocean. The pacific ocean is located between South and North America, the indian ocean is located below India, the southern ocean is found above Antarctica, the arctic ocean is is found above Europe while the atlantic ocean is located between Africa and South America.

The picture below will give everyone a clearer picture of what I am saying.
