◉ accessibility. Answer: the degree of ease with which it is possible
to reach a certain location from other locations. Accessibility varies
from place to place and can be measured.
◉ physical geography. Answer: one of the two major divisions of
systematic geography; the spatial analysis of the structure, processes,
and location of the Earth's natural phenomena such as climate, soil,
plants, animals, and topography.
◉ connectivity. Answer: the degree of direct linage between one
particular location and other locations in a transport network.
◉ sequent occupance. Answer: the notion that successive societies
leave their cultural imprints on a place, each contributing to the
cumulative cultural landscape
◉ spatial distribution. Answer: physical location of geographic
phenomena across space
◉ five themes (of geography). Answer: they are location, human-
environment, region, place, and movement
,◉ location theory. Answer: a logical attempt to explain the locational
pattern of an economic activity and the manner in which its producing
areas are interrelated. The agricultural location theory contained in the
von Thunen model is a leading example.
◉ medical geography. Answer: the study of health and disease within
a geographic context and from a geographical perspective. Among
other things, medical geography looks at sources, diffusions routes,
and distribution of diseases.
◉ spatial perspective. Answer: observing variations in geographic
phenomena across space
◉ human geography. Answer: one of the major divisions of
geography; the spatial analysis of human population, its cultures,
activities, and landscapes
◉ epidemic. Answer: regional outbreak of a disease
◉ cultural landscape. Answer: the visible imprint of human activity
and culture on the landscape. The layers of buildings, forms, and
artifacts sequentially imprinted on the landscape by the activities of
various human occupants.
,◉ landscape. Answer: the overall appearance of an area. Most
landscapes are comprised of a combination on natural and human-
induced influences.
◉ perception of place. Answer: belief or "understanding" about a
place developed through books, movies, stories or pictures
◉ sense of place. Answer: state of mind derived through the infusion
of a place with meaning and emotion by remembering important
events that occurred in that place or by labeling a place with a certain
character.
◉ pattern. Answer: the design of a spatial distribution (e.g. scattered
or concentrated)
◉ spatial. Answer: pertaining to space on the Earth's surface;
sometimes used as a synonym for geographic
◉ fieldwork. Answer: the study of geographic phenomena by visiting
places and observing how people interact with and thereby change
those places
◉ place. Answer: the fourth theme of geography; uniqueness of a
location
◉ pandemic. Answer: an outbreak of a disease that spreads
worldwide. (see also - endemic)
, ◉ globalization. Answer: the expansion of economic, political, and
cultural processes to the point that they become global in scale and
impact. The processes of globalization transcend state boundaries and
have outcomes that vary across places and scales.
◉ location. Answer: the first theme of geography as defined by the
Geography Educational National Implementation Project; the
geographical situation of people and things.
◉ distance. Answer: measurement of the physical space between two
places
◉ spatial interaction. Answer: see complementarity (a condition that
exists when two regions, through an exchange of raw materials and/or
finished products, can specifically satisfy each others demands) and
intervening opportunity (the presence of a nearer opportunity that
greatly diminishes the attractiveness of sites farther away)
◉ human-environment. Answer: the second theme of geography;
reciprocal relationship between humans and environment.
◉ region. Answer: the third theme of geography; an area on the
Earth's surface marked by a degree of formal, functional, or
perceptual homogeneity of some phenomenon
