Humangeo ch1-3

Study of the interactions between societies and the natural environments

Human-modified natural landscape with particular culture or society

Interaction between the earth's physical systems and processes on global scale

Intersection between human and physical geography

One of the first cartographers

Cresent- shaped area fertile land along the east Mediterranean coast

Computer tools used to analyze geographic data

Set satellites used to help determine location with a portable electronic

Unique facts or characteristics of a particular place

First description of the extent to which natural systems had been impacted by human actions

Physical landscape or environment that has not been affected by human

Rules that can be applied universally

Four distinct traditions
1 earth science
2 culture environment
3 locational tradition
4 area analysis tradition

Structure processes distributions and change through time

Included maps containing a grid system of latitude and longitude

Data with humanistic approach to geography; observations

Mathematical models and statistical techniques

Mathematical models and statistical techniques

Many places that share similar attributes

Observation and mathematical measurements using aircraft and satellites

Feelings by people as a result of experience with another place

Particular locations, how and why that is where it and how it is spatially related

Using earth's resources that provide for peoples needs without ruining earths ability to provide for future generations

Study of earths integrated systems

Individual maps- overlaid on GIS to understand and analyze spatial relationship

Area exists as part of cultural identity

Map porjection- plane is most developable surface

outer edge of city- describes area of city's hinterland that depends on city for retail

map that uses tones or colors

image of a portion of the earth's surface-creates in his/hre mind

actual or potential relationship between two places

economic,social,cultural or political connection of 2 places

spread of disease innovation or cultrual traits through direct contact

standard grid used to determine absolute location

decrease in interaction between 2 phenomenta, places or people, as distance between them increases

spread of ideas innovations or fashion through contact

measure of how much absolute distance affects the interaction between 2 places

map projection that maintains accurate size/shape but rerranges direction- no cardinal directions

actual shape of the earth-slightly squashed

formula to describe level of interaction w/2 places basede on size

diffusion that is transmitted because 2 places have something in common

map line that connects points of equal or very similar values

law- states people willl be drawn to largercities for wider influence on hinterland

amount of social cultural or economic connectivity between 2 places

diffusion of ideas innovations behaviours through migration

technological innovatoins cultural trends or outbreaks of disease, travel

one culture's trait prompts invention or innovation in another

map that shows 1+ varianbles witthin specific area

idea that distance between places is shrinking

maps that use isoline(links lines of similar values) to represent elevation

amount of connectivity between places

costs involved in moving goods

use of software to create computer maps(some are 3d)

cylindrical map to preserve direction

largest number of people that the environment of a particular area can sustainably support

small county subdivisions

migration for family

number of deaths per thousand children- age five and younger

population group unifiied by characteristic

sequence of demographic changes in which a country moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates through time

study of human populations

ratio of unemplyed (age wise)to employed

.growth when fixed percentage of people are added to population each year

percentage of children who die before first birthday in particular area

pop grows at an exponential rate while food production increases arithmetically; pop growth would outpace food production

number of death per thousand of women giving birth

difference between number of births and deaths in particular country

ratio of pop to area of cropland

measurement of # of persons per unit land area

model used in pop geo to show age and sex distribution

refugees

ohio michigan pennsylvania' northern industrial states of USA

southeastern/western states- grown since WW II

Average number of children born to a woman during her childbearing years

proposal to end pop growth through variety of official planning programs
