Deposition (geology) Map of Cape Cod showing shores undergoing erosion (cliffed sections) in yellow, and shores characterized by marine deposition (barriers) in blue. [1] Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered ...
An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes may also be referred to as quakes, tremors, or temblors. The word tremor is also used for non-earthquake seismic rumbling . In its most general sense, an earthquake is any seismic event ...
Second, other database information can be generated for further analysis or use. An example would be a list of all addresses within one mile (1.6 km) of a toxic spill. An archeochrome is a new way of displaying spatial data. It is a thematic on a 3D map that is applied to a specific building or a part of a building.
This resource paper on geographcal spatial diffusion. is part of a series designed to supplement undergraduate geography courses. Focusing on the unfolding of man': patterns over geographic space and through time, the paper provides the basic theoretical background of this new, rapidly growing area of geography.
Geography education research is particularly concerned with the teaching and learning of geography. A large assortment of research designs, data collection and data analysis methods has been employed in an attempt to uncover how students’ knowledge and proficiency in geography develop and how to support the processes of learning.
Spatial analysis confronts many fundamental issues in the definition of its objects of study, in the construction of the analytic operations to be used, in the use of computers for analysis, in the limitations and particularities of the analyses which are known, and in the presentation of analytic results.
Distance decay is a geographical term which describes the effect of distance on cultural or spatial interactions. [ 1] The distance decay effect states that the interaction between two locales declines as the distance between them increases. Once the distance is outside of the two locales' activity space, their interactions begin to decrease.
Geography is a unique field of study. For example, it is an integrative, or holistic, science, the content of which spans both the physical and human elements of Earth’s surface. In so doing, geography forms a bridge that closely links humans and the life-sustaining natural environment. Geography differs from all other sciences in yet another ...
