Globalization• The spread of

economic activities from one country to many other regions.

• The establishment of integrated industrial and service sectors world-wide.

• Primarily an economic factor, it has enormous social and political consequences.

Local Diversity• It is ironic as the

world becomes more globalized it has become more diverse.

• People search for ways to express their unique cultural traditions and identity as a reaction to globalization.

Distribution-geographers• Concern is about the arrangement of features

on the earth’s surface.• 3 main properties of distribution are:• Density-the frequency that something occurs

in a given space.• Concentration-changes in distribution-how

close together-dispersed or clustered.• Pattern-the arrangement of the distribution

of features in a given space.

• Absolute location or mathematical location is the exact latitude and longitude coordinates of a place.

• Relative location-the location of a place in relation to other physical or human features.

• Centrality-the function of location relative to urban places, resources, productive farmland and efficient transportation systems. Cities for example dominate their locations economically, politically and culturally thus displaying centrality.
