AP Human Geography Unit 1

Identifies a precise location/place often through latitude and longitude of a certain place.

The idea that even though the environment can limit humans, they can overcome its limitations:

Art and science of mapmaking

A map projection that focuses on finding the true area or size of land masses, but also distorts shape.

Comparing home values at a neighborhood level versus state or national is an example of:

Map projections contain all of the following distortions except:

Which of the following is the BEST example of a functional region?

each dot represents a specific quantity

dependent on core countries for capital and have underdeveloped industries

Which one is not one of Wallerstein's World-Systems?

Which of the following maps would have the largest scale?

Characteristics of relative location

the process geographers use to divide and categorize space into smaller areal units

Thematic map in which size is distorted to reflect the degree to which the area reflects the theme.

Scales of Analysis: Evaluating the agricultural production in Tunisia reflects which scale of analysis?

Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things

dominant capitalist countries which exploit the peripheral countries for labor, raw materials

uses colors, shades of one color, or patterns to show location of spatial data

Jimmy John's only delivers within a 7 minute's drive radius. This is an example of which type of region?

Which is NOT a characteristic of absolute location?

He is considered the father of geography

Latitude is to Longitude as:

Has a focal point, defined by activity that occurs across region, united by networks

show and label natural features, such as mountains, rivers, and deserts

use lines that connect points of equal value to depict variations in the data across space

defined by the informal sense of place that people ascribe to

Map Scale: Which of the following map scales shows the LEAST amount of detail?

Which of the following is not an example of a formal region?

The inverse relationship between distance and connection (cultural and spatial)

Definition of situation

the contact, movement, and flow of things between locations

From top to bottom, these scale representations are:

A collection of computer hardware and software that layers data all at once:

Region united by more than one definitive trait/characteristic

Place names; often reflects characteristics of location

He calculated the circumference of the Earth

Distortion of Mercator Projection

Definition of sense of place

share characteristics of both core and periphery countries

shows and labels human-created boundaries, such as countries, states, cities, and capitals

Spatial Thinking of Geography

maps that people create in their minds based on experience and knowledge

Examples of site:

Which of the following is the best example of a perceptual region?
