Physical Geography
Functional World Map

Earth's physical geography influences almost everything and everyone. To prepare for your travels, you will use the World Map Template to create a functional map based on physical regions in the world.
Include the following items in your functional map:
Physical Features
- Identify four physical features (landforms and water);
- Label each item from A-D on the map; and
- Explain each feature on the map key.
Ecological Processes
- Create a symbol in the map key for four different ecological processes;
- Explain each ecological process; and
- Add the symbols to the map.
Climate
- Divide the map to show three different climate regions;
- Use different colors to represent each region;
- Add color-coded regions to the map key; and
- Explain the regions.
Human-Environmental Influences
- Choose three physical elements you included on your map and describe the human-environmental influences they will have on your travels; and
- Label the areas of impact with 1-3.
