Term: DiffusionDefinition: the spread of a disease, innovation or cultural through direct contact with another person or place Term: Coordinate Definition: A standard grid composed of lines of latitude and longitude used to determine the absolute location of any , place. or feature on the earth's surface. Term: Distance decay Definition: The in interaction between two phenomenon places or people as the distance between them increases. Term: Dot Definition: maps that use points to show the precise locations of specific observations or occurrences, such as crimes, car accidents or births. Term: DiffusionDefinition: The spread of , innovations, fashion or other phenomenon to surrounding areas through contact and exchange Term: of DistanceDefinition: A measure of how much absolute distance affects the interaction two places Term: Fuller Definition: A type of map projection that the accurate size and shape of landmasses but completely rearranges direction such that the four cardinal directions no longer have any meaning Term: Definition: The actual shape of the earth which is round and oblate, or slightly squashed; the circumference is longer around the equator then it is around the meridians, from north south circumference Term: Gravity Definition: A mathematical formula that describes the level of interaction two places based on the size of their populations and their distance form each other Term: Definition: Anything in the landscape, real or , that is potentially threatening. Hazards are usually avoided in spatial behavior Term: Hierarchical Definition: a form of diffusion in which an idea or innovation spreads by passing among the most connected places or peoples. An Urban geography is usually involved encouraraging leapfrogging (often through media) of innovations over wide areas, with geographi Term: International Date Definition: The line of longitude that marks where each new day begins entered on the meridian Term: OpportunitiesDefinition: The idea that one place has a demand for some god or service and two places have a supply of equal price and quantity, then the closer of the two to the buyer will represent an intervening opportunity, thereby blocking the third form being able Term: IsolineDefinition: Map line that connects points of equal or very values Term: Large Definition: A relatively small ratio between map units and ground units. Large scale maps usually have a resolution and cover much smaller regions than small scale maps. Term: Determinism
(Environmentalism)Definition: The view that the natural environment has a controlling influence over various aspects of human life cultural development. Term: Law of gravitationDefinition: Law that states that people will be drawn to larger cities to conduct their because larger cities have a wider influence on the hinterlands that surround them. Term: Location Definition: On a map, a or graph that gives specific statistical information of a particular political nit or jurisdiction Term: Definition: The distance east or west of the prime meridian, defined by lines of longitude or meridians Term: Map Definition: A mathematical method that involves transferring the 's sphere onto a flat surface. The term can also be used to describe the type of map that results from the process of projecting. All map projections have distortions in either area, direction, d Term: projectionDefinition: A true conformal cylindrical map projection particularly good for navigation it maintains accurate direction. Term: MeridianDefinition: A line of that runs north-south. All lines of longitude are equal in length and intersect at the poles Term: ModelDefinition: A simplified of reality, structured to clarify casual relationships and to help geographers explain patterms , make decisions and predict future behaviors Term: Preference Definition: A map that displays individual preferences for places. Term: meridianDefinition: An line passing through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, England which marks 0 degree of longitude Term: Symbols mapDefinition: A thematic map in which the size of a chosen symbol such as a circle or a indicates the relative magnitude of some statistical value for a given geographic region. Term: Reference Definition: A map type that shows reference information for a place making it useful for finding landmarks and for navigating. Term: Relative Definition: A measure of distance that includes the costs of overcoming the friction of absolute distance separating two places. Often relative distance describes the amount of social, or economic connectivity between two places. Term: Relative Definition: The position of a relative to the places around it. Term: diffusionDefinition: The of ideas, innovations, behaviors, and the like form one place to another through migration Term: Definition: A maps smallest discernible unit. If an has to be one kilometer long in order to show up on a map then the maps resolution is said to be one kilometer. Term: Robinson Definition: Projection that attempts ti balance several possible projection errors. It does not completely accurate area, shape, distance or direction but minimizes errors in each. Term: Definition: The ratio between the size of an area on a map and the actual size of the same area on the 's surface. Term: Definition: The absolute location of a place described by local relief, landforms and other cultural or physical Term: SituationDefinition: The relative location of a place in relation to the physical and cultural characteristics of the surrounding area and the connections and interdependencies that system; a place's spacial context Term: ScaleDefinition: Map scale ratio in which the ratio of units on the map to the units on the earth is quite small. Small scale maps usually depict large . Term: DiffusionDefinition: Spacial diffusion refers to the ways in which phenomenon such as tech innovations, cultural trends or even outbreaks of , travel over space Term: MapsDefinition: A type of map that displays one or more -such as population or income level - within a specific area Term: Time ConvergenceDefinition: The idea that distance between some places is actually shrinking as technology enables more rapid communication and increased interaction between places Term: Topographic Definition: Maps that use isolines to represent constant elevations. If you took a map out into a field and walked exactly along the path of an isoline you would always stay at the same elevation Term: Topological Definition: The amount of connectivity between places regardless of the distance separating them Term: TransferabilityDefinition: The costs involved in goods from one place to another Term: Definition: Use of sophisticated to create dynamic computer maps some of which are 3-D Term: Cultural Definition: The forms & artifacts sequentially imprinted on the physical landscape by human occupants; the physical landscape is modified into a landscape forming an interacting unity between the two. Term: densityDefinition: The population of a region expressed as a average per unit area.( population by number of square miles Term: Physiologic Definition: The of people per unit area of arable land Term: transition modelDefinition: changes in populaiton growth in industrializing countries; high birth and death rates followed by plunging death ratesresult-huge population gain followed by convergence of birth and rates at low level Term: Epidemiological Transition Definition: ? Term: ModelDefinition: ? Term: Von Thunene Definition: Explains the location of ag activities in a commercial, profit making economy. Spatial competition allocates farming activities into rings around central mkt city with earning capability the determining force in how far crops locate from mkt. Term: ModelDefinition: ? Term: Rostow -Stages of Definition: ? Term: - Concentric CircleDefinition: Model of American City:5 land use around center city Term: NucleiDefinition: mid 20th century American city: Several land use arranged around nuclear growth points Term: -Central Place TheoryDefinition: Model for how and where central places in urban heirarchy would be functionally and spatially distributed with respect to one . |
