(General Geography) Exam Questions
& Answers (Grade A+)
Absolute Distance -
correct answer ✅-An exact measure of the separation between
two points using a standard measure, such as inches, meters, or
miles.
Absolute Location -
correct answer ✅-The precise location of any object or place on
the earth's surface as determined by a standard grid or coordinate
system.
-The most common system used to determine this is latitude and
longitude.
Accessibility -
correct answer ✅-Relative ease with which you, goods, and/or

-Are heirarchical or nested; for example, in the United States (an
administrative region), states exist within the country, counties exist
within states, and census tracts exist within countries.
Aggregation -
correct answer ✅-Refers to the size of the unit under investigation
such as cities, counties, states, or countries.
-Like simplification, completely depends on the purpose of the
map.
-Level also depends on the data geographers have access to.
-If a geographer investigates population density with data at the
state level, his or her map will dramatically differ from a geographer
that has density data at the county level.
Azimuthal Projections -
correct answer ✅-Planar projections, meaning they are formed
when a flat piece of paper is placed on top of the globe and a light
source projects the surrounding areas onto the map.
-Typically, the North Pole or the South Pole is oriented at the center
of the map, giving an impression of looking up or down at the
earth.
