What is the effect of time-space compression on globalization?
Increased connections and interactions between different parts of the world.
What is the effect of regionalization?
Helps geographers analyze patterns and connections at different scales.
What is the impact of modern technology on time-space compression?
It reduces travel time and increases communication speed, leading to greater interconnectedness.
How does a country's relative location impact its economic development?
Proximity to trade routes and major markets can facilitate economic growth.
How does the internet enhance global interactions?
It allows for instantaneous communication across the globe.
What are the effects of spatial analysis in urban planning?
Better designs for transportation networks and more efficient land use.
What is the effect of spatial analysis on decision-making?
It allows for informed decisions based on visualized data.
What are the effects of globalization?
Increasing interconnectedness of the world, economic development, cultural exchange.
How does time-space compression affect cultural exchange?
It accelerates the spread of ideas and cultural practices across the globe.

It helps in understanding and reasoning about relationships between objects in space.
What is Spatial Thinking?
The ability to understand and reason about relationships between objects in space.
What is Spatial Analysis?
The process of using spatial thinking to analyze data and solve problems.
What is Time-Space Compression?
Modern tech and transportation have decreased the time-space between places, increasing connections.
What is Map Scale?
Ratio of map distance to real-world distance.
What is Geographic Scale?
The level of analysis, from local to global.
Explain the concept of 'Why of Where'.
Exploring *why* things are located where they are, instead of just memorizing facts.
What is the importance of understanding spatial relationships?
It helps in analyzing patterns, understanding connections, and making informed decisions.
How does spatial thinking combine analytical and creative skills?
It requires the ability to visualize and manipulate abstract concepts in a spatial context.
What factors contribute to global interconnectedness?
Absolute location, relative location, and time-space compression.
What is population density?
The number of people living within a defined area, usually measured per square mile or kilometer.
What is distribution of wealth?
How income or wealth is spread among the population.
What is Absolute Location?
Exact coordinates (latitude and longitude). Fixed and doesn't change.
What is Relative Location?
Location in relation to other places. Subjective and varies depending on context.
What is Place?
The specific human and physical characteristics of a location.
What is Density?
The number of something in a defined area.
What is Distribution?
How something is spread out over an area.
What is a Choropleth Map?
A thematic map that uses colors or patterns to show data distribution.
What is a Proportional Symbol Map?
A thematic map that uses symbols to represent data size or quantity.
What is a Dot Density Map?
A thematic map that uses dots to represent data quantity and density.
What is an Isarithmic Map?
A thematic map that uses lines to show equal intervals or changes.
What is a Flow Map?
A thematic map that shows movement of people or goods.
What is a Cartogram?
A thematic map that distorts geographic areas to represent data distribution.
