GEOG 1113L PRACTICE EXAMINATION
2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◍ Map Projections.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.1) The system used to transfer locations from
Earth's surface to a flat map
◍ Environmental Determinism Theory.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.5) The study of geography that argues that
physical environment dictates/determines how the human actions and
cultures. Example: houses are built on stilts in order to live in areas prone to
flooding or heavy rains.
◍ Proportional Symbol Map Type.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.1) a symbol is assigned to a country and the size
of the symbol represents the frequency of the theme
◍ sense of place or placemaking.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.4) It is a combination of characteristics that
makes a place special and unique. Sense of place involves the human
experience in a landscape, the local knowledge and folklore.
◍ clustered/clustering.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.1) A way to describe concentration. Objects are
gathered closely together in a group
◍ Human Environment Interaction.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.5) Interactions between human social systems
and the physical environment. Example: pesticides are used by humans to
help increase the amount of food grown but the pesticides can contaminate
nearby lakes and streams
, ◍ Winkle Triple Projection.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.1) Curved lines of longitude and latitude. Most
accurate map we have but not perfect. Everything is distorted but only
slightly.
◍ Scale.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.6) Scale is describing what level of detail is
shown on a map. Small scale maps show the entire world, small scale maps
show a small amount of detail. Large scale maps show city or county, large
scale maps show a large amount of detail.
◍ Global Positioning System (GPS).
Answer: (Learning Target 1.2) a navigation system that allows land, sea, and
airborne users to determine their exact location, velocity, and time 24 hours
a day, in all weather conditions, anywhere in the world.
◍ Environmental Possibilism Theory.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.5) The theory that the physical environment
may set limits on human actions, but it is possible for humans to overcome
the physical environment. Example: Dams or levees are built in areas prone
to flooding so humans can live in these areas.
◍ Media reports.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.2) articles published by news papers or
magazines
◍ fractional map scale.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.3) numerical ratio 1:24,000
◍ Thematic Maps.
Answer: (Learning Target 1.1) Maps highlighting a particular feature or a
single variable such as temperature, city, size, or acreage in potatoes (does
not focus on where things are located, rather, thematic maps show what
places are like)
◍ Sustainability.
