Geographic Tech
This technology uses satellites to provide location and time information anywhere on Earth, commonly used in navigation systems.
GPS (Global Positioning System)
This line of latitude is located at 0 degrees and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The Equator
This part of a climograph indicates the average precipitation levels throughout the year.
Bar graph
This term describes countries with low GDP per capita, often facing challenges like high poverty rates and limited access to healthcare and education.
developing
This term refers to the spreading of cultural beliefs and social activities from one group to another
Cultural diffusion
When thinking of Geographic technology, what app(s) utilize it best?
Google/Apple Maps
This line of latitude is located at 23.5 degrees North.
Tropic of Cancer
This term refers to the movement of seawater driven by factors like wind, the Earth’s rotation, and differences in water density, which plays a crucial role in regulating coastal climates and is a fundamental aspect of the global climate system, influencing weather patterns and other things.
Ocean currents
These countries are characterized by advanced technological infrastructure, high standards of living, and good healthcare systems, often having a GDP per capita above $12,000.
developed
This kind of diffusion occurs when cultural traits spread from a place of higher power to places of lower power
Hierarchical diffusion
This technology utilizes a network of satellites to detect and monitor physical characteristics of an area from a distance, including its climate, vegetation, and land use, mostly used in environmental monitoring.
Remote Sensing
what is the climate of locations near the equator?
Warm
If a climograph has little to no curve, then what would be the location's proximity to water.
Coastal.
This sector focuses on the production and distribution of services rather than goods and includes industries such as banking, retail, and tourism.
Tertiary sector
This diffusion occurs when a cultural trend spreads, but is adapted and changed by those adopting it
Stimulus diffusion
This technology combines maps and data to help analyze information about locations, which is important for planning cities, managing resources, and making decisions about the environment.
GIS (Geographic Information System)
What line marks the boundary of the Arctic Circle?
66.5 degrees North
In a climograph, this axis typically represents temperature over the course of a year.
Vertical Axis
In the context of economic development, this concept emphasizes the importance of local resources and sustainable practices, often seen in strategies implemented in developing countries.
Sustainable development
When a cultural element moves from one location to another through migration of people, it is called this type of diffusion
Relocation diffusion
name one layer of the GIS world model.
Base map layer, administrative boundaries layer, transportation layer, land use layer, environmental layer, infrastructure layer, demographic layer, cadastral layer, temporal layer.
This latitude is significant for its connection to the Mediterranean climate, which is characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, found in regions like Southern California and parts of Italy.
Approximately 40 degrees North
This happens when climographs indicate a significant increase in precipitation during specific months in tropical and subtropical regions. What is this?
Monsoons or wet seasons
This indicator measures the overall economic output of a country divided by its population, often used to compare the economic performance of developing and developed countries.
GDP per capita
The concept where less dominant cultures lose their traditional values to a more dominant culture is called this
Cultural assimilation
