,Chapter 1 Outline
I Key Issue 1.1: Why Is Geography a Science?
A Geography’s Basic Concepts
1 Everywhere Is Unique
a place—a specific point on Earth, has distinctive characteristics
b region—an area of Earth defined by one or more distinctive characteristics
2 All Locations Are Interrelated
a scale—relationship between the portion of the Earth being studied and the Earth as a whole
b space—physical gap or interval between two objects
c connection—relationships among people and objects across the barrier of space
3 Geography & History
a geography—location of places, ask where and why
b history—important events, ask when and why
B Contemporary Geographic Tools
1 Maps
a map—two-dimensional or flat-scale model of Earth’s surface or a portion of it
b purpose
i reference tool—location, routes
ii communications tool—depicts distribution of human activities, physical features
2 GIScience: Analyzing Data
a geographic information system—captures, stores, queries, and displays the geographic data
b photogrammetry—science of taking measurements of Earth’s surface from photographs
c remote sensing—acquisition of data about Earth’s surface from satellites orbiting Earth
3 GPS: Pinpointing Locations
a Global Positioning System—system that determines the precise location of something on
Earth using satellites
b geotagging—identification and storage of information using latitude and longitude
coordinates
4 VGI: Making Maps Yourself
a volunteered geographic information (VGI)—creation and dissemination of geographic
information contributed and shared for free by individuals
b citizen science—scientific research by amateur scientists
c participatory GIS (PGIS)—community-based mapping
d mashup—map combining overlays from different sources
C Development of the Science of Geography
1 Perhaps the Earliest Map—house in present-day Türkiye
2 Geography in the Ancient World
a Thales of Miletus—used geometry to measure land area
b Anaximander—claimed world was shaped like a cylinder
c Pythagoras—claimed world was a sphere
d Hecataeus—produced the first geography book
e Aristotle—used evidence to demonstrate Earth was a sphere
f Eratosthenes—invented the word “geography,” calculated circumference of the Earth
g Strabo—wrote the 17-volume Geographica
h Ptolemy—wrote an eight-volume Geographica, codified basic principles of mapmaking
, 3 Early Asian & African Geographers
a Yu Gong—described economic resources of China’s provinces
b Pei Xiu—father of Chinese cartography
c Muhammad al-Idrisi—Arab geographer, recorded travels
d Ibn Battuta—Moroccan scholar, recorded travels
4 Geography’s Revival in Europe
a Martin Waldseemüller—German cartographer, first to use the label “America”
b Abraham Ortelius—Flemish cartographer, created the first modern atlas
c Bernhardus Varenius—produced treatise on systematic geography
D Interpreting Maps
1 The Geographic Grid
a meridian—longitude, time
b parallel—latitude
2 Telling Time
a 24 time zones, 15 degrees of longitude each
b Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), reference point prime meridian Greenwich, UK
c International Date Line—close to 180, going west cross into tomorrow
3 Types of Maps
a choropleth—shaded in proportion to the measure of the variable
b graduated symbol—symbols sized according to the value of the variable
c isoline—connects point data of equal value
d dot distribution—each dot represents a predetermined number of observations
e cartogram—size of place proportional to the value of particular variable
E Making Maps
1 Map Scale—relationship of a feature’s size on a map to its actual size on Earth
a ratio—numerical relationship between map distance and Earth distance
b written—in words
c graphic—often a bar line representation
2 Larger & Smaller Scales—affect the amount of detail shown, a small area provides greater
detail
3 Projection
a Definition—methods of transferring locations on Earth’s surface to a flat map
b Maps distort
i shape
ii distance
iii relative size
iv direction
c Examples
i Winkel—equal area projection
ii Mercator—little shape distortion, sizes distorted especially near the poles
iii Goode Homolosine—separates or interrupts the oceans or land masses
iv Gall-Peters—relative size, shape distorted
