2 ways to describe Place
1. Physical Characteristics - features that describe the natural environment of the place
Examples: physical features, weather & climate, soil, minerals, plant life (vegetation), animal life
![Page 31: Understanding Our World - Ranch View Middle School · Latitude & Longitude Latitude - imaginary lines around the Earth that measure location in degrees North (°N) and South (°S)](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042221/5ec76e76aa43022b912b4775/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Examples: roads, buildings, language, religions, type of government, economic activities, shops, parks, where people
live (population distribution)

Place Challenge Game RulesI am going to describe a place to you, but only through its physical or human
characteristics. In your foldable, write down whether the clue is a “physical” characteristic or “human” characteristic. After each clue you must take a guess
at which country you think is being described. All the clues are hinting towards one country.
Example:1. Human - Australia2. Physical - Great Britain3. Physical - Great Britain
