Human Geography Two questions Geographers strive to
answer1. Where- Where are people and activities
found on Earth?
2. Why- Why are they found there?
1. RatioRatio Scale- Fractional scale shows the
numerical ratio between distances on the map and Earth’s surface.
Example below…
2. Written Scale Describes relationship between map and Earth
distances in words.Example below…
3. Graphic Scale Use of symbols, usually bar line, used to
show distance on Earths surface.Example below….

II. ProjectionDefinition- Transferring locations
on Earth’s surface to a flat map. 4 types of distortions
1. Shape-Area appears more elongated or shorter than in reality
2. Distance-Distance between two points is disproportionate.
3. Relative size- Alters area to appear larger or smaller then they are in reality.
4. Direction-Direction from one place to another can be incorrect on map.
GPS – Global Positioning System
Definition- Determines the precise position of areas on Earth3 Elements:
Numerous satellites (remote sensing)Tracking stations (controls the satellites)Receiver (used to pinpoint location
GIS – Geographic Information System)
Definition- Computer system that can capture, store, analyze, and display geographic data
More accurateCan show relationships between different kinds of
informationhttp://

DensityDefinition: How often something occurs in space.
High density=something occurs oftenNote: Large population does not always mean high density.Low density= something occurs rarely
Kinds of densityArithmetic density (including population density)Physiological densityAgricultural density
Arithmetic Density The total number of a
certain object in an area Often compares
population in different countries
Myth: Large population means high population density
Physiological DensityThe number of people per unit of land suitable
for agriculture (farming).
A high physiological density may mean a country can’t grow enough food to feed its population
Agricultural Density Number of farmers per
unit of area suitable for agriculture
High agricultural density means that most people grow just enough to feed themselves and their families (subsistence farming)
