BE ABLE TO:
● define geography and human geography and explain the meaning of the spatial perspective.

● explain how geographers classify each of the following and provide examples of each:
a) distributions
b) locations
c) regions

● identify types of scale and projections used in mapmaking - identify advantages and
disadvantages of different projections.

● list different types (models) of diffusion and provide examples/illustrations of each in the real
world.

● distinguish between different types of mapped information (dot distribution, choropleth, etc.)
and provide explanations of strengths and weaknesses of each.

● define and discuss cultural ecology, possibilism, and environmental determinism.
