Topics of this game:
  • The description of the Earths surface and the people and processes that shape those landscapes.
  • A philosophy of geography that stated that human behaviors are a direct result of the surrounding environment. Often used to justify colonization.
  • Suggests that humans are not a product of their environment, but that they possess the skills necessary to change their environment to meet needs.
  • �A way for geographers to obtain new information; it uses the Earth�s latitude and longitude coordinates to determine an exact location.
  • A way for geographers to obtain new information, it layers geographic information into a new map, showing specific types of geographic data.
  • Images of the Earth taken from artificial satellites orbiting the planet. Important for GIS and remote sensing.
  • Studying an object or location without making physical contact with it. For example, satellites have mapped the ocean floor by studying gravity waves.
  • The relationship of the size of the map to the amount of area it represents on the planet.
  • Maps that try to distribute distortion equally throughout the map; these maps distort shapes.
  • Maps that distort area but keep shapes intact.
  • Maps that distort shapes but show true direction (e.g., a Mercator map).
  • Maps that show true direction and examine the Earth from one point, usually from a pole or a polar direction (e.g., any azimuthal map).
  • Maps that put a cone over the Earth and keep distance intact but lose directional qualities.
  • Maps that combine the cylindrical and conic projections (e.g., the Molleweide projection).
  • Maps used to visualize some type of geographic phenomenon
  • An abstract map that outlines and connects points of identical value. An example is the weather map.
  • Maps that are good for determining movement, such as migration trends.
  • Maps that put data into a spatial format and are useful for determining demographic data by assigning colors or patterns to areas.
  • Maps that assign space by the size of some datum, for example world population
  • A place name, often based on similar features within a certain area.
  • The study of human characteristics on the landscape, including population, agriculture, urbanization, and culture.
  • Produced by the physical material culture, it is the sum of tangible human creations on the landscape.
  • The idea that each civilization leaves an influence on the cultural landscape of place, affecting the civilizations that come after them.
  • The study of the physical features of the Earth and the attempt to define how they work.
  • The description of what we see and of how we see and experience a certain aspect of the Earth�s surface.
  • A concept used to link different places together based on any parameter the geographer chooses.
  • Regions where anything and everything inside has the same characteristic or phenomena.
  • Regions defined around a certain point or node; most intense around the center but lose characteristics as the distance from the point increases.
  • The lessening of a phenomenon as the distance from the hearth increases.
  • Longer distances require increasing amounts of energy or money to traverse, meaning that people will feel resistance to going someplace far away.
  • A region that exists primarily in the individual�s perception or feelings. Also known as a perceptual region.
  • A location that is based on, or refers to, another feature on the Earth�s surface.
  • Location based on latitude and longitude coordinates.
  • The internal characteristics of a place based on its physical features.
  • The relationship that a particular location has with the locations around it
  • A map that contains what a person believes to exist; most people have mental maps, and they prove to be a useful tool in communication.
  • Parallel lines that run east/west on the surface of the Earth; the highest degree of latitude is 90 degrees. Also known as parallels
  • The latitude line that runs in the middle of the Earth. It is at 0 degrees latitude. Divides the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.
  • Parallel lines that run north/south on the surface of the Earth. Also known as Meridians.
  • The 0 degree longitude line, which runs through Greenwich, in southeast London, England. It divides the eastern hemisphere and the western hemisphere.
  • Based on the 15-degree longitude principle, although the exact location of the line may vary due to political boundaries or domestic political policy.
  • An imaginary boundary between one day and the next. It was created alongside the international system of time zones. Located at 180 degress
  • How people modify or alter the environment to fit individual or societal needs.
  • The types of areas where humans cannot live: too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, and too hilly.
  • How linked a place is to the outside world, because how well an area is connected to the world determines its importance.
  • The increasing interconnectedness that human civilization enjoys despite the physical distance being fixed.
  • The spread or movement of a principle or idea.
  • The place where a given characteristic began is known as a hearth, and diffusion is the process by which it is spread.
  • The spreading of a custom when people move; language tends to be spread through relocation diffusion.
  • The term used to describe the spread of a characteristic from a central node through various means.
  • The notion that a phenomenon spreads as a result of the social elite spreading societal ideas or trends.
  • The process of spreading a culture from one place to another through direct contact, similar to the way disease spreads.
  • The spread of a particular concept that is then used in another product.
  • This term comes from the idea that everything on the Earth�s surface must have a physical location.
  • A term used to describe how often an object occurs within a given area or space; most often used in terms of population density.
  • Number of people is divided by the amount of land to arrive at a number of people per square mile/kilometer.
  • Refers to the total number of people divided by the arable (farmable) land; a more accurate measure of population density than arithmetic density.
  • Determined by dividing the population of a country by the total land area.
  • The density of particular phenomena over an area; in terms of concentration, objects can either be clustered or agglomerated.
  • In the area of concentration, objects that are close together are considered clustered (or agglomerated).
  • In the area of concentration, if the objects are spread out, they are considered dispersed (or scattered).
  • May be anything from triangular to linear or even three-dimensional, as with high-rise buildings.Explains how objects are organized in their space.
  • A pattern where the items are laid out on a singular line.
  • A pattern where the items are clustered together.
  • The lack of a pattern on the landscape.
  • The assumption that the relationships at one scale also exist at other scales.
  • The principle that relates cities� relative population sizes to their rank within a country.
