GEOG 1001 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Advection, Refraction, Solar Irradiance
Document Summary
What are the five themes of geography: location: Includes absolute location and relative location: region: What makes a place unique: movement: How people move and migrate across the land: human and earth interactions: What are some tools that geographers use in their research: projections, global positioning systems. What is feedback: feedback is a stimulus that either prompts a system to stabilize or change, positive feedback encourages production in the system and encourages the system to change. When you get hot, the rise in body temperature stimulates your sweat glands and you sweat to cool yourself: negative feedback discourages production in the system, and encourages the system to stabilize. Once you are cool, your lowered body temperature discourages your sweat glands from producing more perspiration to cool you, and you revert to your original body temperature. 23. 5 degrees- 35 degrees north to south: the subtropics.
