is an important theme of geography because all places on earth can be located in either absolute or relative terms.
can be determined by the lines of latitude and longitude. As lines of latitude and longitude cross one another, they form a grid pattern. The grid pattern is used to find this.
Relative location
Absolute location
is determined by a place's relation to other places.

east to west
Lines of longitude measure distances east to west and run from _____ to _____?

Planar Projections
Cylindrical Projections
Conic Projections
This map projection is most accurate at its center, most often used for maps of the poles.
planar projection
conic projection
cylindrical projection
This is a specific cylindrical map projection that has minor distortions, the poles are flattened and is most commonly use by students, teachers and textbooks?
This is a specific cylindrical map projection that accurately shows directions and shapes of land masses; most commonly use for ships.
The most common type of planar map projection. It is most accurate at its center and most commonly used for airplane navigation.

Name the three type of regions discussed in class?
Formal (uniform) Regions
Functional (nodal) Regions
Perceptual (vernacular) Regions
Positional (lost) Regions
Regions designated by official boundaries such as cities, states, counties, and countries; for the most part, they are clearly indicated and publicly known.
ex: city of Thibodaux, the state of Louisiana, the United State of America
Formal (uniform) Regions
Functional (nodal) Regions
Perceptual (vernacular regions)
regions that are defined by their connections; an area with a certain set of activities or interactions that happen within it organized around a node, focal point, central hub, people may use the functionality of the city but have to drive there to do so
Ex: New Orleans metro area (Kenner, Metairie)
Formal (uniform) Regions
Functional (nodal) Regions
Perceptual (vernacular) Regions
Regions of the world that have no formal boundaries but are understood in mental maps of the world; common assumptions are made about the place or people; this type of region does not exist in a literal sence
Ex: The Midwest, The Middle East
Formal (uniform) Regions
Functional (nodal) Regions
Perceptual (vernacular) Regions
