AP HUG Unit 1 Reverse

Question 1

show the whole world or sections of it; used more for navigation or finding places

Answer 1

Reference Maps

Question 2

show one certain theme; uses colors over the world, or dots– not traditional images that look like the world

Answer 2

Thematic Maps

Question 3

the precise distance/direction/location– most common system to determine this is the global grid of longitudinal and latitudinal lines

Answer 3

Absolute Distance/Direction

Question 4

a description of distance/direction/location of something in relation to other things–not precise–mercator projection is bad for relative distance

Answer 4

Relative Distance/Direction

Question 5

high density, very close together

Answer 5

Clustered

Question 6

low density, spread far apart

Answer 6

Dispersed

Question 7

show the world or a country or other area using a flat map that has been distorted at least slightly–is not completely accurate because the world is actually round

Answer 7

Map Projections

Question 8

the shape, area, distance, or direction (SADD) has been changed in some way to put an area that is rounded onto a flat surface

Answer 8

Distortion

Question 9

information about the land, cities, populations, and any number of other things that can be shown on a map

Answer 9

Geographic Data

Question 10

computer system used to hold + display information in layered maps

Answer 10

GIS

Question 11

GPS (global positioning system) satellites constantly send information about where they are in relation to the earth, and where places are in relation to them. When this data is put onto maps it can be used for navigation on phones, and physical maps with the satellite images and information on them

Answer 11

Satellite Navigation Systems

Question 12

images of the land and other features gathered by airplanes, satellites, and drones using cameras and other techniques

Answer 12

Remote Sensing

Question 13

Maps that can be seen online, and are used to analyze data, and find patterns

Answer 13

Online Mapping Visualization

Question 14

information that is found by people out in the world, instead of research done mainly at a computer, or in a library getting information from books

Answer 14

Field Observations

Question 15

the information gathered from people in the census done every 10 years (in USA). –the census is so we know how many people live in the USA, as well as some other information

Answer 15

Census Data

Question 16

satellites are always flying around the earth and they send pictures to stations in various locations. These pictures are collected to make maps, and to look closely at places around the world

Answer 16

Satellite Imagery

Question 17

scales are when different amounts of the world are shown, so using data on different scales can mean looking at data within a state, and also looking at the same data in the whole country

Answer 17

Using Data at Different Scales

Question 18

never changes, latitude/longitude or a house address–its unique to that place

Answer 18

Absolute Location

Question 19

in relation to other places–helps understand significance of the place

Answer 19

Relative Location

Question 20

area between two+ things

Answer 20

Space

Question 21

“a unique location”–a point in space

Answer 21

Place

Question 22

how different places interact

Answer 22

Flows

Question 23

if two places are far apart, there will be less of a flow between them–less interaction the farther apart they are

Answer 23

Distance Decay

Question 24

if it only takes a short amount of time to get from one place to another, they feel close – the longer it takes to get to a place, they farther apart they feel

Answer 24

Time-Space Compression

Question 25

how things are arranged in space

Answer 25

Pattern

Question 26

able to continue for a long amount of time

Answer 26

Sustainability

Question 27

substances/materials that occur/appear in nature on their own

Answer 27

Natural Resources

Question 28

what humans do with an area of land – culturally, economically, religiously, etc.

Answer 28

Land Use

Question 29

environmental factors control human growth, success, and culture

Answer 29

Environmental Determinism

Question 30

the environment limits humans, but humans decide what to do, and can impact the environment back

Answer 30

Possibilism

Question 31

shows the entire world, the biggest you can get

Answer 31

Global Scale

Question 32

shows a smaller area than global, usually more than just one country

Answer 32

Regional Scale

Question 33

shows one country, good for comparisons between states

Answer 33

National Scale

Question 34

smallest scale, good for comparing counties, lots of info- can be confusing

Answer 34

Local Scale

Question 35

whether patterns stay the same or change when looking at different scales on the map

Answer 35

Patterns at Different Scales

Question 36

how people operate at different levels

Answer 36

Processes at Different Scales

Question 37

area that does not always follow political boundaries, but is often referred to by people

Answer 37

Region

Question 38

a type of region defined by scientific data or political boundaries/borders

Answer 38

Formal/Uniform Region

Question 39

a type of region that has a focal/central point or node and is defined by a characteristic which centers in the node or central point, and becomes less important farther away from the central area

Answer 39

Functional/Modal Region

Question 40

a type of region that is referred to by people, but is not the same according to every person, and is based on cultural beliefs/perceptions of people rather than scientific data

Answer 40

Perceptual/Vernacular Region

Question 41

the edges of a region, where the defining characteristics begin to change into another region

Answer 41

Regional Boundaries

Question 42

looking at a small portion of the earth, such as a city or state, and comparing data and patterns

Answer 42

Question 43

looking at a region of earth and comparing data and patterns within the region, or between different regions
