different regions that exist. !

RegionsI. Regions

A. The Basics 1. Defined by physical & human characteristics

a. Cultural Landscape: Shared language, religion, economic feature/activity,

2. Divides up/simplifies world, helps interpret data B. Types

1. Formal a. Everything/one inside shares the same trait

(Religion, laws, language, etc) 2. Functional or Nodal

a. Organized around central focus point b. Farther away = Loses importance/intensity

different regions that exist. - Based on these types of regions, categorize

your regions. What other regions can you come up with?

Name that Region…

Space & ConnectionII. Objects in Space

A. Distribution 1. Density: frequency within a space 2. Concentration: how objects spread over space

(Clustered, dispersed) 3. Pattern: geometric arrangement over space

B. Diffusion 1. Relocation: Spreading from the hearth by groups

moving from one place to another 2. Expansion

a. Hierarchical: From the powerful/elite > Others b. Contagious: Rapid, widespread. No relocation.

No social hierarchy c. Stimulus: an element spreads, but used in a

different way then originally intended

Diffusion FRQGeographers marvel at the ability for trends to spread rapidly, almost instantaneously across the globe. A. Define diffusion B. Identify and explain two different types of diffusion

C. Identify & explain two examples of diffusion, one from before the Industrial Revolution, one from after the Industrial Revolution.

D. The diffusion of Hip-Hop was a radical anomaly. Identify and explain which diffusion model Hip-Hop music defied.
