the belief that a physical environment is THE reason that some societies are strong while others are weaker

the flow of goods, people, or information among places, in response to localized supply and demand
a region based around a node or focal point - terrestrial radio broadcasts are an example of this
useful for gathering SOME types of information. It can show you things like physical features, locations of urban areas, refugee camps, traffic, military targets, agriculture, etc.

Identify the map above and identify which of the following descriptions most accurately describes the map.
Mercator: The shape and size of land masses are distorted, but direction is accurate
Robinson: Distortion is only happening with the size of the land masses, shape and direction are accurate
Mercator: Land mass size is accurate due to distortion being spread across all aspects of the map
Goode Homolosine: Does not use cardinal directions, minimizes distortion but is confusing to read
Robinson: Distortion is evenly spread out across shape, size, and direction making it less noticeable

Map A is showing a local scale of analysis
Map B is showing a global scale of analysis
Map A is a large scale map

What problem arises when we look at data on a small scale map?
Information uses less generalization which makes data confusing due to conflicting information
Information becomes generalized and many details are left out
