For what is geography question -> there are the two division of geography: human and physical. For site v. situation - know site is exact spot and situation is the relative location. Different types of regions - formal, functional, and vernacular. 3 types of contemporary approaches in geography. Area analysis - mostly about reading maps. Spatial analysis - distribution based (density, concentration, pattern) Geographic systems analysis - understanding human and physical systems and their interactions. Contagious - city to city by proximity. Hierarchical - from small city to big city and back down the chain. Ecology and ecosystem - look back in module 1 slides for two components) Components of biosphere - know differences between each component. Link in huskyct gives info about different types of maps: isopleth map - displays something like population density. Shows density by portraying points of high density: isometric map - doesn"t show specific points.
