GEOG 210 Lecture Notes - Map Projection, Afforestation, Human Geography
Document Summary
Evolution and regionalization of landscapes: flooding, afforestation, deforestation, the treatment of spatial data, pay attention to spatial , spatial: where, boundaries, here, there. Interpretation of images reveals the production of landscape and helps flood preparedness. These images can help governments zone the landscape and can help insurance companies determine how much they will have to pay out. Satellite imagery: landforms in sahara, line revealing splicing of imagery, path of satellite, political. Geosynchronous orbit: for a fixed location on earth the satellite returns to exactly the same time each day. Radar sees land forms: water courses, possibility of drought or flooding. Predictive ability is important for maps and geographical tools. Fundamental concepts: process: how things change, pattern: what the change is. The core: regions of the world-system are those that dominate, trade, control the most advanced technologies, and have high levels of productivity within diversified economies.
