Functional regions

1. Functional regions • Disperse evenly. • Are centered on a node. • Avoid cultural dysfunction. • Are unaffected by communications. • Are described by a precise mathematical distribution.

3. In addition to describing a location by its place name, geographers use the terms site and situation. Which of the following is true about a location’s situation? • It helps us to understand a place relative to other places. • Situation describes the climate and weather of a place. • It combines physical features of a place with accessibility. • Situation factors help explain why certain places were chosen as good settlement places. • Situation does not help us understand the importance of a place.

5. Maps require projection because • A spherical surface is represented on a two-dimensional plane. • It is good practice to draw maps with both straight and curved lines. • Distortion is eliminated when a map is projected. • Otherwise places would lack a situation. • Meridians need to remain parallel.

13. Referring to the figure on the previous slide, choose the most accurate statement. • Scale changes as houses become closer. • Distribution density remains even despite clustering in bottom image. • The three plans are equally concentrated. • It is important to consider both the number and pattern of houses. • The lowest plan allows for more houses than the other two plans.
