• Robinson map projection is inaccurate in all aspects.
• Azimuthal map projection is a type of map.
• Gall-Peters map projection is a type of map.
• Cartogram is a type of map.
• Dot-Density map is a type of map.
• Reference map is a type of map.
• Choropleth map is a type of map.
• Isoline map is a type of map.
• Proportional symbol map is a type of map.
• Remote Sensing is the acquisition of data about Earth’s surface from a satellite orbiting Earth or from other long-distance methods.
• GPS accurately determines the precise position of something on Earth.
• GIS is a computer system that can capture, store, analyze, and display geography data.
• Human Geography is a branch of geography that studies the various aspects of the human condition.
• Physical Geography is a branch of geography that studies the physical features of Earth.
• Geographic Scale is the extent of a feature’s spread over space (clustered vs dispersed).
• Map scale is the size of a map to the extent of the features it represents.
• Map projection is the scientific method of transferring locations on Earth’s surface to a flat map.
• Distribution is the study of where and why human activities are located where they are.
• Density is the extent of a feature’s spread over space (clustered vs dispersed).
• Concentration is the extent of a feature’s spread over space (clustered vs dispersed).
• Pattern is the arrangement of a feature in space.
• Relative location is the location in relation to other places.
• Absolute location is the location in relation to Earth’s surface.
• Absolute distance is the distance from one point to another on Earth’s surface.
• Relative distance is the distance from one point to another on Earth’s surface.
• Time-space convergence is the process by which a characteristic spreads across space from one place to another over time.
• Both provide a good compromise among distortions of shape, size, direction and distance.
• Both display latitude and longitude accurately.
• Both are useful for comparing the physical area of a country.
• Remote sensing is the term that refers to the collection of geospatial data through the use of satellite imagery.
• George Perkins Marsh argued that cultural landscapes should form the basic unit of geographic inquiry.
• A perceptual region’s boundaries are determined by the functions that occur between a particular place and the surrounding area.
• A ratio of the number of items within a defined unit of area measures dispersion.
• The site of Manhattan is an island bordered by the Hudson and East Rivers.
• Thematic maps that employ a range of color tones to illustrate how particular values vary across predefined areas, such as counties, provinces, or states, are referred to as choropleth maps.
• Human and physical geography have in common that they are concerned with where things occur and why they occur where they do.
• Human and physical geography are also both primarily focused on managing the world's growing human population.
• The coordinates 170 W longitude, 11 S latitude are just west of the International Date Line and just north of the equator.
• The acquisition of data about Earth's surface from a satellite, spacecraft, or specially equipped high-altitude balloon is referred to as remote sensing.
