They are not evenly distributed, with some countries having more resources than others. Some countries may have natural resources but not have the money or tools to use those resources. These can also have an impact on cultures, political systems, and the rate of economic development from the local to global scale.
74.
What is sustainability?

b)
Specific location and distribution of something across a map using dots or some other symbol

What is land use?
a)
How did things become distributed as they are?
b)
Feet, miles, meters, or kilometers
c)
Purpose: Spatial distributions related to area
d)
The study of how land is utilized, modified, and organized by people.
76.
What is the built environment?
a)
Cons: Land near the poles appears very large & Distance between lines of longitude looks constant
b)
A theory made in response to environmental determinism. It acknowledges limits on the effects of the natural environment and focuses more on the role that human culture plays. It takes into account that different cultures can respond to the same natural environment in diverse ways depending on their beliefs, goals, and available technologies.
c)
The physical artifacts that humans have created that form part of the landscape. (especially the cultural one)
d)
Phenomena that are in a regular arrangement. Ex: City blocks that are all square shaped.
77.
What is cultural ecology?
a)
The study of how humans adapt to the environment.
b)
Purpose: General use in midlatitude countries
c)
Phenomena that are arranged in a group or concentrated area. Ex: restaurants in a food court.
d)
Regions that are organized around a focal point and are defined by an activity.
78.
What is environmental determinism?
a)
Small-scale shows a large area with less detail while large-scale shows a small area with more detail
b)
Regions that are united by one or more traits. There is political, physical, cultural, and economic.
c)
The belief that landforms and climate are the most powerful forces shaping human behavior and societal development while culture does not matter at all.
d)
Remote sensing, aerial photography, and ground-level photography
79.
What is possibilism?
a)
Smaller areas within regions
b)
To describe where things are in relation to eachother. Relative location can change while absolute usually does not. Ex: North, South, East, & West
c)
A theory made in response to environmental determinism. It acknowledges limits on the effects of the natural environment and focuses more on the role that human culture plays. It takes into account that different cultures can respond to the same natural environment in diverse ways depending on their beliefs, goals, and available technologies.
d)
Natural features (mountains, oceans, rainforests)
80.
What does geographic scale refer to?
a)
The task of defining and describing landscapes
b)
The part of the world being studied. Ex: Global, national, and local.
c)
the act of physically visiting a location, place, or region and recording, firsthand, information there
d)
Specific location and distribution of something across a map using dots or some other symbol
81.
What is aggregation?
a)
Variations in data across space using lines that connect points of equal value together. Ex: Topographic maps which are used to show weather.
b)
Small-scale shows a large area with less detail while large-scale shows a small area with more detail
c)
Remote sensing, aerial photography, and ground-level photography
d)
When geographers organize data into different scales. Ex: census tract, county, country.
82.
False conclusions=
a)
Inaccurate generalizations.
b)
Pros: Landmass sizes are accurate
c)
Site is the characteristics of an immediate location while situation refers to the location of a place relative to its surroundings & its connectivity to other places.
d)
The degree of nearness based on time or money. Ex: Kroger is 5 minutes away from home
83.
What are Formal Regions (also called uniform regions or homogeneous regions)
a)
Phenomena that are equally spaced from a central point. Ex: Distribution of homes of people who shop at a certain store.
b)
Regions that are united by one or more traits. There is political, physical, cultural, and economic.
c)
Specific location and distribution of something across a map using dots or some other symbol
d)
When geographers organize data into different scales. Ex: census tract, county, country.
84.
What are functional regions (also called nodal regions)
a)
Items that occur in the natural environment that people can use.
b)
The shrinking "time distance" between locations because of improved methods of transportation and communication. It can cause global forces to influence culture and reduce local diversity.
c)
When geographers organize data into different scales. Ex: census tract, county, country.
d)
Regions that are organized around a focal point and are defined by an activity.
85.
What are Perceptual regions (also called vernacular regions)
a)
Reference maps are designed for normal people to refer to for general information about places while thematic maps show spatial aspects of information or of a certain phenomenon.
b)
Property lines and details of land ownership
c)
The belief that landforms and climate are the most powerful forces shaping human behavior and societal development while culture does not matter at all.
d)
Regions that are defined by the informal sense of place that people ascribe to them.
86.
What is an example of a large region.
a)
Area, shape, distance, and direction.
b)
The specific human and physical characteristics of a location.
c)
Reference maps are designed for normal people to refer to for general information about places while thematic maps show spatial aspects of information or of a certain phenomenon.
d)
Continents.
87.
What are subregions?
a)
Variations in data across space using lines that connect points of equal value together. Ex: Topographic maps which are used to show weather.
b)
It is either quantitative or qualitative, can be gathered by organizations or individuals, and includes all information that can be tied to a specific place. These include locations of things, human activities, and human traits.
c)
Smaller areas within regions
d)
It indicates that when things are farther apart, they are usually less connected. This inverse relationship is called distance decay. However, distance decay is less influential with modern technologies like the internet.
88.
What are national, subnational, and local regions?
a)
The idea that 2 or more phenomena might be related or associated with each other. It is important to remember that correlation is not the same as causation.
