The diminishing in importance and eventual disappearance of a phenomenon with increasing distance from its origin.

The arrangement of something across Earth's surface.

A nineteenth- and early twentieth-century approach to the study of geography that argued that the general laws sought by human geographers could be found in the physical sciences. Geography was therefore the study of how the physical environment caused human activities.

The spread of a feature or trend among people from one area to another in a snowballing process.

The region from which innovative ideas originate.

The spread of a feature or trend from one key person or node of authority or power to other persons or places.

An arc that for the most part follows 180° longitude, although it deviates in several places to avoid dividing land areas. When you cross the International Date Line heading east (toward America), the clock moves back 24 hours, or one entire day. When you go west (toward Asia), the calendar moves ahead one day.

The numbering system used to indicate the location of parallels drawn on a globe and measuring distance north and south of the equator (0°).

The position of anything on Earth's surface.

The numbering system used to indicate the location of meridians drawn on a globe and measuring distance east and west of the prime meridian (0°).

A two-dimensional, or flat, representation of Earth's surface or a portion of it.

An internal representation of a portion of Earth's surface based on what an individual knows about a place, containing personal impressions of what is in a place and where places are located.

An arc drawn on a map between the North and South poles.

A circle drawn around the globe parallel to the equator and at right angles to the meridians.

The geometric or regular arrangement of something in a study area.

The number of people per unit of area of arable land, which is land suitable for agriculture.

A specific point on Earth distinguished by a particular character.

The theory that the physical environment may set limits on human actions, but people have the ability to adjust to the physical environment and choose a course of action from many alternatives.

The meridian, designated at 0° longitude, which passes through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England.

The system used to transfer locations from Earth's surface to a flat map.

An area distinguished by a unique combination of trends or features.

The spread of a feature or trend through bodily movement of people from one place to another.

The acquisition of data about Earth's surface from a satellite orbiting the planet or other long-distance methods.

Generally, the relationship between the portion of Earth being studied and Earth as a whole, specifically the relationship between the size of an object on a map and the size of the actual feature on Earth's surface.

The physical character of a place.

The location of a place relative to other places.

The physical gap or interval between two places.

The reduction in the time it takes to diffuse something to a distant place, as a result of improved communications and transportation systems.

Directions such as left, right, forward, backward, up, and down based on people's perception of places

when the objects in an area are relatively far apart

when the objects in an area are relatively close together

Distance measured in terms such as cost or time which are more meaningful for the space relationship in question (Bainbridge is about 45 minutes north of Tallahassee)

Exact location of a place on the earth described by global coordinates- longitude and latitude

where a place is located in relation to another place

when the pattern is along straight lines, like rivers, streets, or railroad tracks.

type of arrangement of objects in space that centralizes around one node or center point

a pattern with no specific order or logic behind its arrangement

The physical landscape or environment that has not been affected by human activities.

the movement of peoples, ideas, and commodities between different places

A measure of how much absolute distance affects the interaction between two places.

a change in the shape, size, or position of a place when it is shown on a map

The relationship between the size of an object on a map and the size of the actual feature on Earth's surface.

A type of map that displays one or more variables-such as population, or income level-within a specific area.

A special type of map in which the variation in quantity of a factor such as rainfall, population, or crops in a geographic area is indicated; such as a dot map

A special kind of map that distorts the shapes and sizes of countries or other political regions to present economic or other kinds of data for comparison.

Maps where one dot represents a certain number of a phenomenon, such as a population.

a map that uses differences in shading, coloring, or the placing of symbols within predefined areas to indicate the average values of a property or quantity in those areas.
