Term: meridianDefinition: An imaginary line through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, England which marks 0 degree of longitude Term: Proportional mapDefinition: A thematic map in which the size of a chosen symbol such as a or a triangle indicates the relative magnitude of some statistical value for a given geographic region. Term: Reference Definition: A map type that shows reference information for a place making it useful for finding landmarks and for navigating. Term: DistanceDefinition: A measure of distance that includes the costs of overcoming the friction of absolute distance separating two places. Often relative distance the amount of social, cultural or economic connectivity between two places. Term: Relative Definition: The position of a place to the places around it. Term: Relocation Definition: The diffusion of ideas, innovations, behaviors, and the like form one to another through migration Term: ResolutionDefinition: A maps smallest discernible unit. If an object has to be one kilometer long in order to show up on a map then the maps resolution is said to be one . Term: Robinson Definition: Projection that attempts ti balance several possible projection errors. It does not completely accurate area, shape, distance or direction but minimizes errors in each. Term: Definition: The ratio between the size of an area on a map and the actual size of the same area on the 's surface. Term: Definition: The absolute location of a place by local relief, landforms and other cultural or physical characteristics Term: Definition: The relative location of a place in relation to the physical and cultural characteristics of the surrounding area and the connections and within that system; a place's spacial context Term: ScaleDefinition: Map scale ratio in which the of units on the map to the units on the earth is quite small. Small scale maps usually depict large areas. Term: Spacial Definition: Spacial diffusion refers to the ways in which phenomenon such as tech innovations, cultural trends or even outbreaks of disease, travel over Term: Thematic Definition: A type of map that displays one or more -such as population or income level - within a specific area Term: Time ConvergenceDefinition: The idea that distance between some places is actually shrinking as technology enables more rapid communication and increased interaction those places Term: Topographic Definition: Maps that use isolines to represent constant elevations.
