Different types of diffusion

Relocation Diffusion, Expansion Diffusion

Diffusion

How features or data are arranged in space

Relocation Diffusion

People move and take their ideas, culture, knowledge with them

Expansion Diffusion

Spreads from one place but stays popular in place of origin (ex. Christianity, Islam)

Distrubution properties

Density, Concentration, Pattern

Density

Frequency of something (ex. population density)

Concentration

The extent of a spread of something

Pattern

Arrangement of objects in space

Absoloute Location

Exact Location (ex. coordinates)

Relative Location

Location relative to other places (ex. The McDonalds by SJHS)

Absoloute Distance

A distance that can be measured with a standard unit of length, such as a mile or kilometer

Relative Distance

measurement used to describe the social, cultural, economic, and political relationships between two or more communities. two places are located far apart physically, they could have a close relative distance if they practice the same cultural values.

Space-Time Compression

Idea that the world is getting smaller (ex. Amazon Delivery)

Local Scale

Scale of a certain area (ex. Los Angeles)

Scale-Regional

Identified at two scales (ex. Latin America)

Global Scale

Scale of the entire world

Global Scale Economy

Uniform, Interdependent world (ex. Ticonderoga pencil)

National Scale

Scale of an entire country

Map Scale

A map scale is a ratio that represents the relationship between distances on a map and the actual distances on the Earth's surface. It helps in determining the actual size and distance of features on a map.

Scales of Analysis

Ways we analyze and agregate space and data on a map (ex. Chloropleth map)

Uniform Landscape

This means that the features, such as vegetation, landforms, and structures, are relatively similar and evenly distributed across the entire area. It lacks significant variations or distinct elements that would create diversity or contrast. (ex. A park)

Uniformity of Culture

Uniformity of culture refers to the degree of similarity or homogeneity in the beliefs, values, customs, and practices within a particular society or group. (Ex. english, christianity)

Regions

Formal, Functional, Vernacular

Formal Region

Languge, shares distinctive characterisitcs or geographic location

Functional Region

Organized around a focal point (ex. T.V. station)

Vernacular

A place of cultural identity (ex. The South)
