Geography Answer: The science that examines the earth's spatial perspective
absolute location Answer: Exact location of a place on the earth described by global
coordinates
relative location Answer: The position of a place in relation to another place
Large scale Answer: a map shows a greater amount of detail in a smaller area
Small Scale Answer: A map shows less detail across a larger area
Geographic information systems Answer: Allows users to create multiple layers of
spatial data, helps spatial analysis
remote sensing Answer: The use of aerial and drone photography plus satellite
imagery in conducting spatial analysis
absolute direction Answer: specific directions using cardinal directions (north, south,

relative direction Answer: culturally based and locationally variable direction despite
reference to cardinal compass points eg. "Near and Far East"
formal region Answer: Displays significant uniformity of one or more physical and
cultural attributes
Functional Region Answer: Based around major cities and the surrounding hinterland
of smaller towns and rural areas, where commercial interactions are likely to occur
perceptual region Answer: Based on cultural concepts of a region. Ex- the "south"
place Answer: uniqueness of a location
Expansion diffusion Answer: The spread of a feature or trend among people from one
