Physical Features

• 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.

Your map should include a title, date, key, and compass rose. Before you begin, access the Functional World Map Checklist to be sure you include all items required for full credit.
