Study Notes
Map Scale Changes
- Map A shows a city, while Map B displays a state.
- The map scale decreases (zooms out) from Map A to Map B.
Robinson Map Projection
- An advantage is that continents appear true to size and shape.
- Consequently, this projection is frequently used in schools.
- A disadvantage is that the North and South Poles are flattened.
Goode Homolosine Projection
- It's a type of map projection.
- A disadvantage is that it distorts/separates bodies of water.
COVID-19 Cases Map
- The map shows the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases.
- Examples of states with low cases (not all states listed): Washington, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey.
Isoline Map
- This type of map features lines connecting points of equal value.
- The colors on the map aren't linked or defined by borders.
Dot Density Map
- This is another map type.
Time-Space Compression and Technology
- Technology enhances time-space compression; it makes our world feel smaller.
- People can access and learn about various parts of the world via social media.
- Advanced transportation allows for quick global travel.
Relative Location Example
- Central High School can be located "down the road from Walmart," or "across the street from Misuraca Orthodontics," etc...
Absolute vs. Relative Location
- Absolute location is more specific than relative location.
Texas Map Description
- Shows highways like I-610 and I-35.
Popular Culture Example
- People worldwide using the word "demure" is an example of popular culture.
Universalizing Religion Example
- Jaylen's mission trip, with the goal of spreading his religion, exemplifies a universalizing religion.
Religious Building (Synagogue)
- The building depicted is a synagogue.
- It's associated with Judaism.
Relocation Diffusion
- Frances and her family move from Louisiana to New York.
- They start a crawfish stand in their new location, demonstrating relocation diffusion.
Globalization and Diffusion Example
- Globalization connects the world.
- Technological advancements allow people to access other cultures through social media and cell phones.
High Population Density Physical Features
- Access to rivers
- Fertile soil
- Temperate climate
- Rich vegetation
Low Population Density Human Features
- Lack of job opportunities
- War and conflict
- Poor or nonexistent road infrastructure/connections.
Population Pyramid Description
- The chart is a population pyramid; it displays a country's population structure.
- It needs more information, such as CBR, life expectancy, future changes in population, and dependency ratio to completely analyze it.
Traditional Woman Example
- A woman in Country Y with 8 children, choosing to stay home to care for them illustrates a traditional woman.
Demographic Transition Model (DTM) Stage 5
- A country experiencing a decreasing population for the first time would be in Stage 5 of the DTM.
- In Stage 5, birth rates fall below death rates.
DTM Stage 2 Death Rates
- Death rates decline in Stage 2 of the DTM.
- An example of an environmental cause is access to clean water.
Stage 5 DTM MDC or LDC
- Countries in Stage 5 of the DTM are typically developed nations (MDCs).
- Japan is an example of a country in Stage 5 of the DTM.
