Scales of Analysis
100
This type of direction uses cardinal directions
absolute direction
100
Regions must have one or more of these
Unifying characteristics
100
The difference between a Robinson map and a Mercator map
Mercator- distorton near the poles
Robinson- slight distortions on all aspects of the map
100
This is when humans change the environment to fit their needs
environmental possibilism
100
The map scale AND scale of analysis shown in the map. 
National scale, county scale of analysis
200
"Next to my house" is an example of this type of term
relative location
200
This type of region is united by one or more unifying traits
Formal region
200
What the dots represent on a graduated symbol map
Larger dots indicate larger amounts of a specific variable
200
This theory was used in the 18 and 19th centuries to justify racism
environmental determinism
200
The scales of analysis from smallest amount of data to largest amount of data
Global
Regional
State/Country/National
Substate
County
City/Local
Census Tract
300
This term says that the interaction of two places declines as distances increase
distance decay
300
This type of region is linked by a common factor and organized around a node
Functional region
300
This is the difference between a graduated symbol and a dot density map.
graduated symbol - the size of the symbols distort based on the data
dot density- dots are the same size, but more dots equal more of the data
300
The Hoover Dam represents possibilism because humans have done THIS to their environment
adapted/changed
300
The scale of analysis shown here. 
National
400
This is the pattern shown on the right side of the map
clustering
400
This kind of region is based on a person's perspective or perception of a particular location.
Vernacular/perceptual region
400
This is the definition of an isoline map with an example
uses lines to connect points of equal value- topographic map
400
These are three ways that human-environment interaction has potentially increased the impacts of global climate change
cars, factories, deforestation
400
Analyzing Tennessee or Texas would be considered THIS scale of analysis.
Sub-state/sub-national
500
This term means the process by which a characteristic spreads from one place to another
diffusion
500
The type of region displayed on the map
social/cultural region
500
This is the definition of a topographic map
a map where elevation is shown through textured areas of the map
500
This term means meeting an incraesed demand for resources while maintaining enough for future generations
sustainability
500
These are the names and definitions of the three types of regions
Formal- united by either economic, social, political, or environmental
Functional- organized around a central node
Vernacular/Perceptual- based on a person's perception of the region
