- 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.

- 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.
