Geography 

Picture
Define: The study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere, and of human activity as it affects and is affected by these.


Relates: The image shows a picture of earth and it relates because geography is the study of the earth and things that relate to the earth.

Geologic Time 

Picture
Define: geological time: the time of the physical formation and development of the earth (especially prior to human history).




Relates: This picture is like a time-line. It shows dinosaurs and it shows some of the earth. 

Geology

Picture
Define: The science that deals with the earth's physical structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it.



Relates: The picture is rocks on earths surface it relates because geology is the physical structure so one physical structure is the rocks.

Glacier

Picture
Define: A slowly moving mass or river of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow on mountains or near the poles.



Relates: This picture is a glacier you can tell because it shows the smaller pieces of ice moving forward and also it shows the big large of ice on the water also moving.

Global Positioning System

Picture
Definition: A system of satellites combined with receivers on the Earth that determines the latitude and longitude of any particular receiver through triangulation, by calculating the time difference for signals from different satellites to reach the receiver.



Relates: The image shows a diagram the shows how global positioning systems(GPS) work.


Global Warming

Picture
Definition: An increase in the earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution




Relates:  This shows a graph and on the graph you can see the temperatures of the earlier times starting from 1860.

Globe

Picture
Definition: A spherical representation of the earth or of the constellations with a map on the surface.





Relates: The image shows a globe on the globe you can see that it looks like the earth. It has a map so on this globe you can see countries and different parts of the earth.

Great Circle

Picture
Definition: Any circle on the surface of a sphere that lies on a plane through its center, or a circle that divides into two equal parts—as the Equator.



Relates: The picture shows a circle that has three lines. The second line is in the middle of the earth and it is labeled as the great circle 

Greenhouse Effect

Picture
Definition: The application of this effect to a planet's atmosphere; carbon dioxide and some other gases in the planet's atmosphere can absorb the infrared radiation emitted by the planet's surface as a result of exposure to solar radiation, thus increasing the mean temperature of the planet 



Relates: The picture shows the planets atmosphere. It shows the percentage of gases in earths air.

Gross National Product

Picture
Definition: The Gross National Product (GNP) is the value of all the goods and services produced in an economy, plus the value of the goods and services imported, less the goods and services exported.


Relates: The picture relates because it shows the gross national product graph.
