AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY REVIEW EXAM
absolute location - ANSWER An exact location on the Earth's surface, represented
in degrees of latitude and longitude.
Cartography - Answer The science and art of mapping.
Choropleth Map - Answer A thematic map in which sections are shaded or
patterned according to the statistical variable being displayed.
Clustered - Answer. A scenario in which items are closely gathered.
Concentration - Answer Refers to the extent to which a characteristic is dispersed
across space; not necessarily how tightly items are spaced, but rather the pattern
within that space.
CONtagious diffusion - ANSWER A feature spreads quickly and widely
throughout the population.
Coordinate system: ANSWER A system that determines the position of points or
other geometric elements using one or more numbers, often known as coordinates.
Cultural - ANSWER Concerning habits, beliefs, art, and any other manifestations
of human thought made material.
Density - Answer The frequency at which something appears in space.
Diffusion - Answer The process of spreading a characteristic or trend from one
location to another over time.
, Dispersed - Answer A settlement arrangement in which individuals live rather far
apart.
Distance degradation - ANSWER A phenomenon's prominence diminishes and
eventually disappears as it moves further away from its origin.
Distortion - Answer Misrepresentation of shape, area, distance, or direction of or
between geographic features when compared to their true measurements on the
curved surface.
Distribution Accessibility - ANSWER How information or news is disseminated
across individuals or groups in society.
Environmental determinism - answer A theory that asserts that the physical
environment, particularly the climate and topography, actively influences cultures.
Equal area projection - ANSWER A map projection that accurately depicts area
while preserving the contour of geographical features.
Equator - Answer An imaginary line traced around the planet, equally distant from
both poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and
establishing the parallel of latitude zero degrees.
Erosion - Answer The progressive destruction or reduction of something.
Expansion diffusion - ANSWER A trend spreads from its genesis point outward.
