| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| absolute location | a precise position on earth's surface. |
| relative location | the position of one place (or person) in relation to the position of another place (or person) |
| space | the areas we occupy as humans |
| place | how we modify space based on who we are as a group of people |
| cultural landscape | the built forms that cultural groups create in inhabiting earth--farm fields, cities, houses, and so on--and the meaning, values, representations, and experiences associated with those forms |
| time-space compression | the decreasing distance between places, as measured by travel time or cost; often summarized by the phrase "the world is shrinking" |
| interdependence | the ties established between regions and countries that over time collectively create a global economic system that is not necessarily based on equality (work together to achieve a goal) |
| flow | describes the patterns of connection between two places (how to get to another place) |
| distance decay | the further apart |
| patterns | making sense out of how phenomena are arranged on the landscape |

| geographic processes | the physical and human forces that work together to form and transform the world. |
| diffusion | the pattern by which a phenomenon such as the movement of people, or their ideas, technologies, or preferences, spreads from a particular location through space and time. |
| independent invention | occurs when the same or a very similar innovation is developed at the same time in different places by different people working independently. |
| expansion diffusion | occurs when ideas or practices spread throughout a population, from area to area, in a snowballing process, so that the total number of knowers or users and the areas of occurence increase. |
| hierarchical diffusion | occurs when ideas leapfrog from one important person, community, or city to another, bypassing other persons, communites, or rural areas, (queen to random) |
| reverse hierarchical diffusion | occurs when ideas leapfrog from a lower level of a hierarchy to a higher level. (random to kardashians) |
| contagious diffusion | the wavelike spread of ideas in the manner of a contagious disease or forest fire, moving throughout space without regard for hierarchy. |
| stimulus diffusion | occurs when a specific trait is rejected, but the underlying idea is accepted. |
| relocation diffusion | occurs when individuals or groups with a particular idea or practice migrate form one location to another, thereby bringing the idea or practice to their new homeland. |
| friction of distance | the inhibiting effect of distance on the intensity and volume of most forms of human interaction; time-space compression diminishes friction of distance. |
