Answer: The effects of distance on spatial interaction; generally, intensity of

interaction declines with increasing distance.

distribution

determining the absolute location of geographic phenomena (e.g. an address).

human geography

Answer: One of two branches of geography; the study of patterns and

processes of the earth's human or social environments, including population

change, economies, cultures, politics, settlements, and human interactions with

the natural environment.

isopleth map

Answer: A thematic map using lines to connect locations of equal value with

respect to a geographic phenomenon (e.g. daily temperature).
