2.7 Spatial Concepts Video

What do geographers mean by "spatial concepts"?

• The way different phenomena are organized in space.

• The study of celestial bodies and their positions.

• The measurement of distances between planets.

• The arrangement of objects in a vacuum.

How do geographers distinguish between "space" and "place"?

• Space refers to the geometric surface of the earth, while place describes how humans modify a particular space.

• Space is a physical location, while place is a theoretical concept.

• Space is defined by human interaction, while place is a blank canvas.

• Space is a cultural construct, while place is a natural phenomenon.

What is the primary difference between absolute and relative location?

• Absolute location uses landmarks, while relative location uses coordinates.

• Absolute location is a precise point on Earth's surface, while relative location describes a place in reference to another.

• Absolute location is measured in time, while relative location is measured in distance.

• Absolute location is fixed, while relative location changes constantly.

What does the concept of distance decay suggest about connections between places?

• The further apart two things are, the more connected they will be.

• The closer two things are, the less interaction there will be.

• The further apart two things are, the less connected they will be.

• Distance has no impact on the connection between places.

What is time-space compression?

• The increased distance between two places due to technological advancements.

• The decreased distance between two places measured by the time or cost to travel between them.

• The expansion of geographical space over time.

• The process of mapping time zones across different regions.
