Board content
Mapping Foundations
- $100 — Valued for straight compass bearings and accurate direction at sea, this projection wildly enlarges Greenland and Antarctica.
- Mercator projection
- $200 — Designed to display a particular theme like climate zones or global literacy, this map type goes beyond roads and rivers.
- 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
- $500 — The most significant way map tools shape our worldview is captured in this idea about how we see space.
- They frame our spatial understanding
