Vocab review for AP Human Geography 1st Unit

Human geography

• physical location of geographic phenomena across space. 

• One of the two major divisions of geography: the spatial analysis of human population, its cultures, activities, and landscapes

• 1. a ratio between a distance on a map and its corresponding distance in the real world.

• 1. the degree of flow of people, ideas, and goods among places.

Physical Geography

• 1. 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.

• 1. representation of a real-world phenomenon at a certain level of reduction.  Can be at different levels, e.g. global, state, regional, local, subnational, county etc.

• 1. The art and science of making maps, including data compilation, layout, and design.  

• 1. Maps that show the absolute location of places and geographic features determined by a frame of reference, typically latitude and longitude.

Spatial Distribution

• representation of a real-world phenomenon at a certain level of reduction.  Can be at different levels, e.g. global, state, regional, local, subnational, county etc.

• 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

Scales of Analysis

• representation of a real-world phenomenon at a certain level of reduction.  Can be at different levels, e.g. global, state, regional, local, subnational, county etc.

• 1. a ratio between a distance on a map and its corresponding distance in the real world.

• 1. the degree of flow of people, ideas, and goods among places.

Cartographic Scale

• Occurs when ideas or practices spread throughout a population from area to area, in a snowballing process, so that the total number of knowers or users and the areas of occurrence increase.

• The pattern by which a phenomenon such as the movement of people or their ideas,     technologies, or  preferences, spreads from a particular location through space and time

• The view that the natural environment has a controlling influence over various aspects of human life

• 1. a ratio between a distance on a map and its corresponding distance in the real world.

Sense of Place

Cartography

Reference Maps

• 1. Maps that show the absolute location of places and geographic features determined by a frame of reference, typically latitude and longitude.

• The art and science of making maps, including data compilation, layout, and design

• 1.  The position or place of a certain item on the surface of the Earth as expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds of latitude and longitude.

• 1. Maps that tell stories, typically showing the degree of some attribute or the movement of a geographic phenomenon.
