Question | Answer |
---|---|
Absolute Direction | Cardinal points of North, East, South, and West |
Absolute Distance | Spatial separation between two points on the earth's surface measured by some accepted standard unit such as miles or kilometers for widely separated locales |
Absolute Location | Identification of place by some precise and accepted system of coordinates |
Accessibility | Consideration of distance implies assessment of accessibility |
Concentration | Opposite of dispersion dispersion means the amount of spread over an area so concentration means a close gathering |
Connectivity | describes accessibility it's a broader concept implying all the tangible and intangible ways in which places are connected: telelphone lines, roads, pipelines, sewers |
Cultural Landscape | THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE AS MODIFIED BY HUMAN ACTIVITIES AND BEARING THE IMPRINT OF A CUTURE GROUP OR SOCIETY; THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT |
density | the measure or quantity of anything within a defined unit of area |
dispersion | THE AMOUNT OF SPRREAD IN AN AREA |
formal region | (my def - what something has in common with one another like language or religion) a region distinguished by a uniformity of one or more characteristics that can serve as the basis for areal generalization and of contrast with adjacent areas |
functional region | visualized ass a spatial system. its parts are interdependent and throughtout its extent the functional region operates as a dynamic, orgainzationsonal unti. known for a particular subject only |
perceptual regions | less structured |
GIS (Geographical Information Systems) | invesitagation using a computer system to study data referenced to measure the earth's surface |
mental map | a perceived image of a map based on your own experiencces and thoughts yo |
model | simplified abstraction of relatity, strusctued to clarify casual relationships |
natural landscape | WHATS ALREADY TEHRE BTICH LIKE WATER AND SHIT AND DIRT OK |
nodal region 18 | SAME THING AS FUNCTIONAL. SO IT'S FOCUSED ON A CORE THING DOOD. |
pattern 17 | spatial arrangeent and seign like linerar pattern of a railroad or river or centraul city with suburbs like -linear, centralized, and random distribution*** remember |
projection 20 | MAPS DUH ~ map projection ~ how u transfer stuff to the global grid idek or care |
region 17 | earth areas that display elements of internal uniformity and external difference from surrounding territories |
regional concept 18 | the view that physical and cultural phenomena on the surfacee of earth are rationally arranged by complex, diverse, but commprehensible interreelatted spatial processes. |
relative direction 10 | "out back" back east |
relative distance 11 | It tells where something is compared to antoher like not using points. Like, The US Is below Canada. Not the actual points ya feel me |
relative loccation 10 | dpsyisl inyrtvonnrvyion snf inyrtfrprnfrnvr snf msy vsty dovisl implivsyiond aehrtr iyd trlsyibr |
remote sensing 24 | it's how they sense shit like how they measure the waves of earthquakes |
scale 12 | the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. If the reg |
site 10 | THE ABSOLUTE LOCATION OF A PLACE OR ACTIVITY DESCRIBED BY LOCAL RELIEF LANDFORM AND OTHER PHYSCAL CHARACTERISTICS |
sitatuion 1 | a descirption of the site like it's 3 blocks from here |
spatial diffustion 15 | the process of dispersion of an idea or an item from a center of origin to more distant points |
spatial distribution 16 | arrangments of items on the earth's surface =DENSITY, DISPERSION, AN PATTERN. ARE ANALYZED BY THESE KEY ELEMENTS BAE. |
spatial interaction 15 | jfsa |
spatial system 27 | the arrangment and integrated operation of phenomena produced nby or respondin to spatial processes on the earth's surface |
uniform region |
