  9. Warm-Up • 2) If a ship sunk at 179 degrees west and 30 degrees south, what ocean is it located in? • A) Pacific • B) Indian • C) Antarctic • D) Atlantic

  10. Warm up • 3) Which of the following would show the LEAST detail? • A) A map with a Mercator Projection • B) A map with a very small scale • C) A map with a very large scale • D) A map with an Equal Area Projection

  11.

  12. Warmup • 5) A geographer points to the fact that people who live in similar climates often develop very different cultures. This supports the concept of • A) Environmental Determinism • B) Globalization • C) Possibilism • D) Diffusion

  13. Chapter 1 – Section 3 Key Question: Why are “different” places “similar”?

  14. I. Scale: From Local to Global Details Patterns

  15. A) Global Economy 1 - World is Shrinking • Space-time Compression* • Transnational Corporations* 2 – Division of Labor Decision Makers vs. Workers*

  16. B) First “Global” Recession • A recession is…* • Past recessions…* • Beginning in 2008…* • “The fate of a home buyer in the United States was tied to the fate of a banker in the United Kingdom, a sales clerk in Japan, a clothing maker in China, and a construction worker in Nigeria. All were caught in a global-SCALE web of falling demand and lack of credit” (text pg 30)

  17. C) Globalization of Culture • Same wants* • Globalization* (religion/language) • Local differences* • Contemporary Social Problems*

  18. II. Spatial Thinking

  19. A) Spatial Distribution • Definition – “the arrangement of a feature in space” • Not Random*

  20. B) Spatial Distribution (3 ways) 1 – Density – Key word in Definition is “frequency”. Definition: The frequency with which something occurs in space. Basic Type – Arithmetic (population) density which is population____ land area of country

  21. Test Hint: Large Population does NOT equal high density. • For Example: • China’s Population Density is 360 persons per square mile. • Belgium’s Population Density is 900 persons per square mile. United States = 84 persons/mile

  22. Test Hint: High Population Density does NOT mean a country is poor • For Example: • The Netherlands (one of the world’s richest) is 1,031 persons per square mile. • Mali’s (one of the world’s poorest) is 10 persons per square mile. • US population density = 84/square mile • Florida’s pop. Density = 353/square mile

  23. Population Density

  24. 2) Concentration • Key Word in definition is “spread”. • Definition: Concentration is the extent of a feature’s spread over space. • Can have same density but different concentrations*

  25. 3) Pattern • Key word in definition is “geometric”. • Definition: Pattern is the geometric arrangement of objects in space. • Common Patterns*

  26. X X X X X X Population Density? “The Same” Concentration? “Slide 1 – Clustered, Slide 2 – Dispersed” Pattern? “Varies” X X

  27. III. Land Ordinance of 1785 • A) Purpose* • B) Mathematical location* • C) Divided the country into townships and ranges using a grid pattern

  28. D) Led to a pattern of settlement still seen today! • AKA: Dispersed Rural Settlement

  29. The End!

  30. III. Connections Between Places

  31. A) Most of history… • …Communication did not change much… People either told each other or wrote it down.

  32. Then things start to change…

  33. Today – communication is almost instant (space-time compression)

  34. B) Spatial Interaction (limitations)*

  35. Who most likely knows more about Cuba? C B Example of the 3rd Limitation of spatial Interaction – Distance Decay! (see vocab) A Cuba

  36. III. Connections Between PlacesC) Diffusion • 1) Relocation Diffusion -

  37. (C) 2 – Expansion Diffusion • A) Hierarchical Diffusion>>>>>>>>>> • B) Contagious Diffusion>>>>>>>>>> • C) Stimulus Diffusion >>>>>>>>>

  38. Today, all types of “expansion” diffusion can be very quick! • BECAUSE OF T__________________!

  39. D) Diffusion of Culture/economy • 1 – Popular culture diffuses FROM 3 regions of the world that we call MDC’s North America Western Europe Japan

  40. 2 - THE REST OF THE WORLD (LDCS) Africa Asia Latin America

  41. LDC’s: • *75% of the world’s population • *Most of the world’s population growth • *Little power/wealth but lots of cheap _________ Decision making in MDC’s with the “work” done in LDC’s is called: “The International Division of Labor”

  42. Homework • Ways to Study for Chapter 1 test: • Study, know, understand, live ALL vocabulary! Quizlet on website is there to help! • Use the study guide, review powerpoint and sample questions found on website. • Study your notes/classwork • Window Shop the Chapter – Headings, maps, diagrams, pictures, etc. • Know the locations on the world map!
