Across
  1. 5. Areas that have been deserted in a city for economic or environmental reasons. Areas are like brownfields except they have been drained of resources that provided economic benefits and have yet to be restored(U6,IDK).
  2. 6. The scattering of people who have a common background or beliefs. The effect of similar people scattering can lead to diffusion of their ideas via relocation or contagious diffusion but can create more ethnic enclaves as the areas where individuals flee to develop and the culture spreads(U2,IDK).
  3. 7. A branch of geography that studies geographical influences on political systems and power relationships. This demonstrates how geography impacts the effect of different political boundaries and state shapes/types on nationalism, geopolitics, and international organizations(U4,VIT).
  4. 10. Real estate agents convince white property owners to sell their houses at low prices because of fear that black families will soon move into the neighborhood. This can contribute to uneven development as white flight occurs in an area that causes many residents to leave and abandon multiple economic facilities that could bring about substantial development in the region(U6,CC).
  5. 15. Someone who has been forced to Migrate for Similar Political reasons as a refugee but has not crossed an International Border. An influx of these people in a country can indicate either social or political problems occurring in the country like ethnic cleansing or regulative laws that oppress a group too much but not being able to leave, can indicate either a poor level of development or another reason for them to stay(U2,CC).
  6. 19. Manipulate the boundaries of (an electoral constituency) to favor one party or class. The effect of this is that it supports uneven representation of a voting populace as it groups together people in a method that gives an advantage or disadvantage to an electoral party(U4,CC).
  7. 21. Type of migration that occurs within a country depends on how developed it is or what type of society it is. This model indicates the development of a country by detailing the movement patterns either towards or away from it, affecting the overall population dynamics and development of both countries involved(U2,IDK).
  8. 22. A collection of languages related through a common ancestor that existed several thousand years ago. This term is crucial as it depicts the connectivity between two regions that establishes similar cultural hearths and factors relating to ESPN(U3,CC).
  9. 26. Extensive, treeless plains in South America. This area of land can be used for different forms of farming that are extensive or require substantial amounts of land, like pastoral nomadism or ranching. However, these areas can experience desertification due to overgrazing and a lack of forestry bring copious amounts of dust there(U5,IDK).
  10. 27. The continuous buying and selling of goods and services. Countries establish this to purchase products needed to keep the economy afloat and represent the end of the commodity chain, like a global functional region(U5,CC).
  11. 28. The process by which people live and are employed in a city. This term is especially important as it details the growth of a city's economy, social and political factors, and environmental based on the expansion of the population and accommodation for new cultures(U6,VIT).
  12. 29. Tool demographers use to categorize countries' population growth rates and economic structures. This model enables geographers to compare the population dynamics of a country that contributes to the development of countries; expresses how the population grows which leads to conclusions towards ESPN(U2,VIT).
  13. 32. A collection of languages related to each other through a common ancestor long before recorded history. This is significant to culture as it shapes the language of a region and the dialect it is spoken through, affecting part of the culture of that region and potentially international economy as well(U3,CC).
  14. 33. A decision by a corporation to turn over much of the responsibility for production to independent suppliers. Impacts the connectivity and global supply chains as countries establish international suppliers and create trade networks to produce more profit(U7,CC).
  15. 34. The idea that if one land in a region came under the influence of Communists, then more would follow in a domino effect. This is important as it displays the diffusion of this idea based on the large connectivity of a country's network that impacts overall development in politics, potentially reforming the governance of a country(U4,IDK).
  16. 35. The development of cities in relation to the development of transportation and communication. It details the level of connectivity within a city and how cities adapt to changes in transportation and communication on a global scale to maintain economic growth(U6,VIT).
Down
  1. 1. The application of ecological principles to agricultural systems and practices, or the branch of science concerned with this. This term applies to Unit 5 as the majority explains the practices and advancements that multiple agriculture revolutions, practices, and industrialization have had on environmental and economic aspects of a country(U5,VIT).
  2. 2. A measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income distribution of a nation's residents. This can measure the wealth inequality within a nation and the overall dispersal development of a country's economy(U7,IDK).
  3. 3. Process used by firms to gather resources, transform them into goods or commodities, and finally, distribute them to consumers. This term can establish the process of production of products through the interdependence of multiple regions that establish networks to produce, manufacture, and sell products on a global scale(U5,CC).
  4. 4. The expansion of an area's economic base as a result of the basic and non-basic industries located there. The proportion of economic development in a country is impacted because of the expansion of industries and range for goods and services(U7,IDK).
  5. 8. A computer system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying data related to positions on Earth's surface. It helps in observing the land use of an area and making comparisons to other regions based on this data(CC,U1).
  6. 9. Redrawing of congressional and other legislative district lines following the census, to accommodate population shifts and keep districts as equal as possible in population. This can allow for the analysis of population demographics based on the newly drawn lines that represent similar areas of a country(U4,CC).
  7. 11. The relationship between any phenomenon and the Earth as a whole – Correct viewpoint of the scale for data in specific areas is crucial to make comparisons of data, such as census data(VIT,U1)
  8. 12. Group of satellites used to help determine a location anywhere on the earth's surface with a portable electronic device.This term can be used to determine the absolute or relative location of an area which can help determine distinctive features that affect population dynamics, agriculture, economics, etc(CC,U1).
  9. 13. Knowing or using several languages. This can measure the level of migration and cultural diversity in an area. As people migrate to a country, more languages are spoken, and the cultural diversity increases which spurs increased social development(U3,IDK).
  10. 14. A country which is geographically separated from the main part by surrounding alien territory. Due to a lack of influence of the main country over this area, it could potentially lead to devolution and irredentism in the future(U4,IDK).
  11. 16. The blending traits from two different cultures to form a new trait. This often results in an increase of centripetal forces as two groups have combined traits and adopted them into both their cultures(U3,IDK).
  12. 17. Set of interconnected nodes without a center. It is important to observe the level of connectivity between the connected regions(IDK,U1).
  13. 18. General applications of the regional framework for analyzing socioeconomic systems as they exist and develop in territorial-environmental systems. Identifies borders for different regions that can be used to compare qualitative data to make comparisons between two regions(IDK,U1).
  14. 20. The development of industries for the machine production of goods. This invokes economic development, advancements in transportation and communication in semi-periphery countries, and eventually funds the improvement of gender roles and sustainability in core countries(U7,VIT).
  15. 23. The practice of exporting U.S. jobs to lower paid employees in other nations. This aligns with Alfred Webers of location of industry theory as it sends jobs to regions of lower pay and allows for minimal cost of labor while getting specialized workers(U7,CC).
  16. 24. A process by which banks draw lines on a map and refuse to lend money to purchase or improve property within the boundaries. This term contributes to uneven development and centrifugal forces as it prevents a minority of a state from receiving financial aid and not being able to develop in an area while creating cultural differences between two areas(U6,CC).
  17. 25. Theory concerned with the geographic location of economic activity. Like the Von Thunen Model, this theory demonstrates the relationship between different geographic factors affecting the economic activity of an area, leading to different amounts of farming at a particular location(U5,IDK).
  18. 30. The sum total of knowledge, attitudes and habitual behavior patterns shared and transmitted by the members of a society. These patterns in a society reveal the overall diversity in the region which can contribute to the measuring of development in a country via a social aspect(U3,VIT).
  19. 31. People who are being forced to leave their traditional lands due to persecution or material hardship within their society. This can indicate whether there is political or ethnic conflict that is either driving people away from the country via fear of either the conflict or ethnic cleansing(U2,CC).
