Mapping Foundations

$100 — Valued for straight compass bearings and accurate direction at sea, this projection wildly enlarges Greenland and Antarctica.
Mercator projection

Thematic map
$300 — At 12°S, 55°W, a researcher stands in these two hemispheres.
Southern and Western
$400 — State the geometric reason it’s impossible to turn Earth’s curved surface into a flat map without hitting at least one S.A.D.D. distortion.
A sphere cannot flatten without distortion
$500 — In S.A.D.D., the property distorted when landmasses are stretched near the poles is this.
Area

Human-Enviornment Interactions

$100 — High safety and abundant tech jobs attract a family to move; these are this type of factors.
Pull factors
$200 — A desert nation builds a desalination plant to supply water, illustrating this Theme of Geography.
Human-Environment Interaction
$300 — Ancient farmers relied on the Nile’s floods to deposit this nutrient-rich material for crops.
Silt
$400 — One way a government can use GIS to guard resources is to do this with deforestation data and zoning maps.
Overlay deforestation with zoning maps
$500 — Two neighbors go to court over who owns natural gas beneath their shared border, a case of this boundary dispute.
Allocational boundary dispute

Geographic Tools & Data

$100 — A network of at least 24 satellites provides precise coordinates for navigation via this tool.
GPS
$200 — In GIS, analysts stack different datasets; these individual components are called this.
Layers
$300 — This computer-based system captures, analyzes, and displays multiple layers of spatial information.
GIS
$400 — Visualization is moving from static paper maps toward this interactive, real-time, layered approach.
Dynamic layered digital maps
$500 — Choosing a projection that enlarges some regions can skew perceived importance through this S.A.D.D. factor.
Area distortion

Human Geography

$100 — A family relocates to access high-paying work and top-tier universities; name the pull factors driving the move.
High-paying jobs and top-tier universities
$200 — Because climate, soils, and local species limit what thrives, the physical environment does this to a region’s cuisine.
Shapes traditional diets
$300 — A new technology spreads from early adopters to the wider public, an example of this process.
Diffusion
$400 — When civil war forces people to flee, the conflict functions as this type of migration factor.
Push factor
$500 — Migrants choose nearby destinations more often because interaction drops with distance, a pattern explained by this model.
Distance Decay

Geography & Worldview

$100 — By making some places look larger, projections can subconsciously elevate this, affecting global politics.
Perceived power
$200 — In Genesis 1:28 terms, this concept calls humans to care for, cultivate, and manage Earth wisely and ethically.
Wise, sustainable care of Earth
$300 — An ethnic group without its own state and not a majority in any state is termed this.
Stateless nation
$400 — Modern tools like GIS help fulfill stewardship by enabling this kind of decision-making about resources and ecosystems.
Data-driven decisions
