Respond to parts A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.
A. Define the concept of map scale.
B. Describe one method geographers use to collect qualitative data.
C. Describe the spatial pattern of dispersal.
D. Explain how remote sensing data can be used to monitor environmental change.
E. Explain how the concept of possibilism challenges the theory of environmental determinism.
F. Explain how changing the scale of analysis from local to national can alter the interpretation of geographic data.
G. Explain the degree to which vernacular (perceptual) regions can be clearly defined on a map. (Response must indicate the degree [low, moderate, high] and provide an explanation.)
