100

This technology uses satellites to provide location and time information anywhere on Earth, commonly used in navigation systems.

GPS (Global Positioning System)

100

This line of latitude is located at 0 degrees and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.


The Equator

100

This part of a climograph indicates the average precipitation levels throughout the year.

Bar graph

100

This term describes countries with low GDP per capita, often facing challenges like high poverty rates and limited access to healthcare and education.

developing

100

This term refers to the spreading of cultural beliefs and social activities from one group to another

Cultural diffusion

200

When thinking of Geographic technology, what app(s) utilize it best?

Google/Apple Maps

200

This line of latitude is located at 23.5 degrees North.

Tropic of Cancer

200

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

200

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

200

This kind of diffusion occurs when cultural traits spread from a place of higher power to places of lower power

Hierarchical diffusion


300

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 

300

what is the climate of locations near the equator?

Warm

300

If a climograph has little to no curve, then what would be the location's proximity to water.

Coastal.


300

This sector focuses on the production and distribution of services rather than goods and includes industries such as banking, retail, and tourism.

Tertiary sector

300

This diffusion occurs when a cultural trend spreads, but is adapted and changed by those adopting it

Stimulus diffusion

400

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)

400

What line marks the boundary of the Arctic Circle?

66.5 degrees North

400

In a climograph, this axis typically represents temperature over the course of a year.

Vertical Axis

400

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

400

When a cultural element moves from one location to another through migration of people, it is called this type of diffusion

Relocation diffusion

500

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.

500

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

500

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

500

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

500

The concept where less dominant cultures lose their traditional values to a more dominant culture is called this

Cultural assimilation
