- 6. the decline of industrial activity, often leading to job losses and a shift to service-based economies, seen in factory closures and reduced industrial output.
- 10. the theory that the environment sets certain constraints on human activities, but humans have the capability to adapt and mak
- 11. farming practices primarily aimed at generating profit through the sale of crops and livestock, often involving large-scale production, mechanization, and intensive use of inputs like fertilizers and pesticides, for example, showcasing commercial agriculture through the cultivation of cash crops such as corn or soybeans for sale in global markets.
- 13. impoverished urban areas lacking infrastructure and basic services, often due to rural migration and urbanization.
- 15. the supreme authority and power of a state to govern itself independently without interference from external sources, for example, demonstrating sovereignty through a nation's ability to enact and enforce laws within its borders without external coercion.
- 17. live per square kilometer.
- 18. areas with reduced tariffs and trade barriers, encouraging import, manufacture, and export, often boosting foreign investment and economic growth, such as industrial parks with tax incentives.
- 19. pressuring homeowners to sell cheaply by stoking fears of minority influx, often for profit by reselling at higher prices.
- 20. regions or entities within a country that have a degree of self-governance or independence in decision-making, for example, illustrating autonomous regions like Tibet in China, which have some level of control over their internal affairs while still being part of the larger nation-state.
- 21. the concentration of a particular phenomenon within a given area, such as population density in cities like Tokyo, where a high number of
- 22. proposes cities with multiple activity centers resembling a galaxy, rather than a single downtown area, showing decentralization into clusters across the urban landscape.
- 23. refers to fixed cardinal points like north, south, east, and west, irrespective of orientation or location, often used in navigation
- 26. mass production and standardized products, as seen in Henry Ford's assembly line for automobiles.
- 27. manufacturing processes where the final product increases in weight or volume, like automobile assembly.
- 28. the movement of individuals or groups from their homes due to coercion, violence, or persecution, such as the forced migration of Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar to neighboring countries like Bangladesh as a result of ethnic conflict.
Down
- 1. explains agricultural land use based on proximity to markets, with intensive farming closer to cities and extensive farming farther away, demonstrating through the arrangement of different types of farms around a central market.
- 2. the price and demand for land vary according to its proximity to the market or central business district, suggesting that land closer to the CBD commands higher rents and is typically used for commercial or high-density residential purposes, while land further away is used for lower-density residential or agricultural purposes, for instance, illustrating bid-rent theory in urban areas where prime locations near the city center are more expensive due to higher demand.
- 3. small-scale businesses based at home, often involving family members in craft production, like handmade textiles.
- 4. the total population divided by the total land area, providing a measure of population concentration within a region, for example, illustrating high arithmetic density in urban areas like New York City due to its large population relative to its land size.
- 5. large-scale commercial agriculture that integrates various stages of food production, processing, distribution, and marketing, often characterized by corporate ownership and mechanized farming techniques, such as agribusinesses managing vast agricultural operations spanning multiple countries for efficiency and profit.
- 7. manufacturing processes where the final product loses weight or volume during production, such as steel production, where iron ore is refined into steel.
- 8. the manipulation of electoral district boundaries to favor a particular political party or group, often resulting in districts that are oddly shaped and designed to concentrate or dilute the voting power of certain demographics, for instance, illustrating gerrymandering practices aimed at consolidating political power by creating districts that heavily favor one party over another.
- 9. describes the distance between two objects or points relative to their positions, regardless of any fixed reference points, often used in comparing distances within a context.
- 12. the number of farmers per unit area of arable land, for instance, indicating high agricultural density in regions like the Nile River Valley due to its historically intensive farming practices.
- 14. the number of deaths per 1,000 individuals in a population within a given year, for instance, showing variations in crude death rates across different countries due to factors such as healthcare access and population demographics.
- 16. categorize different types of economic activities, including primary (agriculture, mining), secondary (manufacturing, construction), tertiary (services), and quaternary (knowledge-based) sectors.
- 19. rapidly growing suburban area experiencing significant population and economic expansion due to urban sprawl.
- 24. responsible travel to natural areas, emphasizing conservation and sustainability, like guided hikes in national parks.
- 25. regions or entities within a country that have a partial degree of self-governance or independence in decision-making, such as semiautonomous regions like Scotland within the United Kingdom, which have some control over certain internal affairs while still being part of the larger political entity.
