  1. 1. A process by which real estate agents convince white property owners to sell their houses at low prices because of fear that persons of color will soon move into their neighborhood. (7, IDK)
  2. 3. Growing of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. (5, CC)
  3. 4. Measure used by the United Nations that calculates development in terms of human welfare rather than money or productivity. Evaluates human welfare based on life expectancy, education, and income. ON a global scale, a pattern of human development closely matches the pattern of GNP, but some discrepancies do exist. For example, many countries in southern Europe (Greece, Portugal, and Spain) fare better on social welfare than GNP. It is a significant term because it allows a country to see what they need to improve in to make the country better. For instance, Somalia needs to improve in women empowerment. (6, VIT)
  4. 8. Legislation and regulations to limit suburban sprawl and preserve farmland. May be used in place of, or in conjunction with, New Urbanism. This term is significant because it prevents sprawl. Sprawl causes greater distance decay and more driving. In the end, a lot of fossil fuels are burned into the atmosphere from all the driving. (7, VIT)
  5. 9. An attempt by one country to establish settlements and to impose its political, economic and cultural principles in another territory. (4, CC)
  6. 10. A process of converting an urban neighborhood from a predominantly low-income renter-occupied area to a predominantly middle-class owner-occupied area. (7, CC)
  7. 15. The total value of goods and services produced within the borders of a country during a specific time period, usually one year. (6, IDK)
  8. 21. A process by which a state breaks down through conflicts among its ethnicities. (4, IDK)
  9. 22. Found in more developed countries; production of food primarily for sale off the farm. (5, CC)
  10. 23. A physical character of a place, such as characteristics like climate, water sources, topography, soil, vegetation, latitude, and elevation (1, CC)
  11. 24. A collection of computer hardware and software that permits spatial data to be collected, recorded, stored, retrieved, manipulated, analyzed, and displayed to the user (1, IDK)
  12. 25. The ratio of the number of farmers to the total amount of land suitable for agriculture. (2, CC)
  13. 26. A language that results from the mixing of a colonizer’s language with the indigenous language of the people being dominated. (3, IDK)
  14. 27. The movement of power “downwards” from the central government regional governments within the state. (4, IDK)

  16. 29. Identity with a group of people descended from a biological ancestor. (3, CC)
  17. 31. Sending industrial processes out for external production, typically where labor is cheaper than internal labor. (6, IDK)
  18. 32. The European colonization of Africa and Asia, or empire building and it characterized the political landscapes during the 19 th and early 20 th centuries. (4, CC)
  19. 35. A process by which banks draw lines on a map and refuse to lend money to purchase or improve property within the boundaries. (7, IDK)

  1. 2. The gravity model suggests that relative economic size attracts countries to trade with each (1, IDK)
  2. 5. Individuals who are uprooted within the boundaries of their own country because of conflict or human rights abuse. (2, IDK)
  3. 6. When people move up in a hierarchy of locations, with each move to a more advantageous or economically prosperous place. (2, IDK)
  4. 7. Identity with a group of people that share distinct physical and mental traits as a product of common hereditary and cultural traditions. (3, CC)
  5. 11. A politically organized territory that is administered by a sovereign. It must contain a permanent resident population and an organized economy. The term is what many people call a country. Examples of this term are the United States, China, and Mexico. It is an important term when classifying between it and a nation. In addition, the term is important for organizations such as NATO, SEAN, and the UN. (4, VIT)
  6. 12. Series of links connecting the many places of production and distribution and resulting in a commodity that is then exchanged on the world market. (5, IDK)
  7. 13. The less dominant culture adopts some of the traits of the more influential one. Typically takes place when immigrants take on the values, attitudes, customs, and languages of their new country. an Italian could live in America and he speaks English in America but speaks Italian to his relatives in Italy. This term is significant because it allowed our ancestors who immigrated here to adopt new food, clothing and a language. This borrowing of traits from another culture can lead to tensions between the individual and their immediate family, social group, or society (Ex. The movie "Bend it Like Beckham"). (3, VIT.)
  8. 14. The number of people per unit area of arable land. (2, CC)
  9. 16. Where workers extract materials from Earth through agriculture, and sometimes by mining, fishing, and forestry; the portion of the economy concerned with the direct extraction of materials from Earth’s surface, generally through agriculture, although sometimes by mining, fishing, and forestry. Many countries in stage 2 of the demographic transition model are heavily dependent on this term because they practice subsistence agriculture and have big families. This term is significant because it allows countries to focus on getting raw and natural materials such as coal. This term was important in the U.S 100 years ago because the main focus was extracting gold and coal, also there was a lot of farming. (5, VIT)
  10. 17. Alternative to international trade that emphasizes small businesses and worker-owned and democratically run cooperatives and requires employers to pay workers fair wages, permit union organizing, and comply with minimum environmental and safety standards. (5, IDK)
  11. 18. The diminishing in importance and eventual disappearance of a phenomenon with increasing distance from its origin. In other words, if the distance between the two locales increases, then their interactions decrease. It can be minimized by the modes of communication such as phones and the internet. The term is significant because it is the foundation of the gravity model, which can help estimate traffic flow. The term is also important when discussing a prorupted state like Thailand because the northern part of the country might have less interaction with the southern part. (1, VIT)
  12. 19. The percentage growth of a population in a year, computed as the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate. For instance, 1.5 means a growth of 15 per 1,000 in a year. The term is important because it helps figure out where in the demographic transition model a country is. Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa like Chad, have a high number for this term, so it is found in stage 2. (2, VIT)
  13. 20. Is a way to describe a knowledge-based part of the economy. Which typically includes services such as information technology, information-generation and sharing, media, and research and development. (6, CC)
