Term
Definition
show The distance that can be measured with a standard unit of length such as a mile or kilometer  
🗑
Absolute location   show
🗑
show The relative ease with which a destination may be reached from some other place  
🗑
show A map projection in which the plane is the most develop-able surface  
🗑
Breaking Point   show
🗑
Cartogram   show
🗑
show A thematic map that uses tones or colors to represent spatial data as average values per unit area  
🗑
Cognitive Map   show
🗑
Complementarity   show
🗑
show The degree of economic, social, cultural r political connection between two places.  
🗑
Contagious Diffusion   show
🗑
show A standard grid composed of lines of latitude and longitude used to determine the absolute location of any object, place. or feature on the earth's surface.  
🗑
show The decrease in interaction between two phenomenon places or people as the distance between them increases.  
🗑
Dot maps   show
🗑
Expansion Diffusion   show
🗑
show A measure of how much absolute distance affects the interaction between two places  
🗑
Fuller projection   show
🗑
Geoid   show
🗑
Gravity Model   show
🗑
show Anything in the landscape, real or perceived, that is potentially threatening. Hazards are usually avoided in spatial behavior  
🗑
show a form of diffusion in which an idea or innovation spreads by passing first among the most connected places or peoples. An Urban geography is usually involved encouraraging leapfrogging (often through media) of innovations over wide areas, with geographi  
🗑
International Date Line   show
🗑
show The idea that one place has a demand for some god or service and two places have a supply of equal price and quantity, then the closer of the two suppliers to the buyer will represent an intervening opportunity, thereby blocking the third form being able  
🗑
Isoline   show
🗑
Large Scale   show
🗑
show The view that the natural environment has a controlling influence over various aspects of human life including cultural development.  
🗑
show Law that states that people will be drawn to larger cities to conduct their business because larger cities have a wider influence on the hinterlands that surround them.  
🗑
Location charts   show
🗑
show The angular distance east or west of the prime meridian, defined by lines of longitude or meridians  
🗑
Map Projection   show
🗑
show A true conformal cylindrical map projection particularly good for navigation because it maintains accurate direction.  
🗑
Meridian   show
🗑
Model   show
🗑
show A map that displays individual preferences for certain places.  
🗑
Prime meridian   show
🗑
Proportional Symbols map   show
🗑
show A map type that shows reference information for a particular place making it useful for finding landmarks and for navigating.  
🗑
Relative Distance   show
🗑
Relative location   show
🗑
Relocation diffusion   show
🗑
show 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 kilometer.  
🗑
show Projection that attempts ti balance several possible projection errors. It does not maintain completely accurate area, shape, distance or direction but minimizes errors in each.  
🗑
Scale   show
🗑
Site   show
🗑
Situation   show
🗑
Small Scale   show
🗑
Spacial Diffusion   show
🗑
show A type of map that displays one or more variables -such as population or income level - within a specific area  
🗑
show The idea that distance between some places is actually shrinking as technology enables more rapid communication and increased interaction between those places  
🗑
show Maps that use isolines to represent constant elevations. If you took a topographic map out into a field and walked exactly along the path of an isoline you would always stay at the same elevation  
🗑
Topological Space   show
🗑
Transferability   show
🗑
show Use of sophisticated software to create dynamic computer maps some of which are 3-D  
🗑
Cultural Landscape   show
🗑
Arithmetic density   show
🗑
Physiologic Density   show
🗑
show changes in populaiton growth in industrializing countries; high birth and death rates followed by plunging death ratesresult-huge population gain followed by convergence of birth and death rates at low level  
🗑
Epidemiological Transition Model   show
🗑
show ?  
🗑
show Explains the location of ag activities in a commercial, profit making economy. Spatial competition allocates farming activities into rings around central mkt city with profit earning capability the determining force in how far crops locate from mkt.  
🗑
show ?  
🗑
Rostow -Stages of Growth   show
🗑
show Model of American City:5 land use rings around center city  
🗑
show mid 20th century American city: Several land use zones arranged around nuclear growth points  
🗑
show Model for how and where central places in urban heirarchy would be functionally and spatially distributed with respect to one another.  
🗑
