expansion diffusion
spread the feature from one place to another in an additive process (idea or innovation spreads outward from the hearth)

Which spatial patterns on the maps shown would be most helpful to someone selecting the location for a new coffee shop?
A
The map of New York State, because it shows the least and most densely populated counties in the state.
The map of New York City, because it shows which boroughs have the greatest number of people.
The map of the Borough of Manhattan, because it shows both population density and the pattern of streets.
D
The map of the state of New York, because it shows where the largest cities are located.
The map of the Borough of Manhattan, because it shows the shoreline of the island of Manhattan.

Which of the following statements best explains the concept of sustainability?
Natural resources are the domain of humans because of the ability of humans to take appropriate action for their use without fear of resource depletion.
Natural resources should be used until they become too scarce or too expensive because of the immediate need for human survival.
Natural resource use should be balanced with the needs of the environment and future generations because many resources are nonrenewable.
Natural resources will be replaced by technological goods because of concerns that all natural resources will become obsolete within the next generation.
Natural resource use should generate economic profits because of the new technologies that make procuring the resources cost effective.
In 1854, London physician Dr. John Snow mapped the spatial relationship between deaths from the waterborne disease cholera and the locations of water pumps which brought in water directly from tunnels connected to the River Thames. From Snow’s research it was determined that a public water pump had been contaminated by sewage.
What geographic principle explains the significance of Snow’s research?
As cities remove natural resources from the landscape, those resources become insignificant.
Even in areas of urban land use, there is a significant relationship between nature and society.
Once water enters an area of urban land use, that water is no longer considered a natural resource.
The prosperity of a society is determined by environmental factors, such as the availability of natural resources.
Societies leave a cultural imprint on the land, such as the pattern of streets and water systems.
For centuries, sugar crystals were made from the evaporated juice of sugarcane, a plant grown only in tropical and subtropical climates. In the 1800s, industrial methods were developed to manufacture crystalline sugar from sugar beets. This allowed for large amounts of sugar to be produced in colder, temperate climate zones.
