The United States Land Ordinance of 1785 divided up much of the country into a system of __________. Possible Answers: quarter-sections ranges all of the provided answer choices sections townships

This law divided land into standard-sized parcels. These parcels were named and included townships, ranges, quarter-sections, and sections. A street address is an example of __________. Possible Answers: absolute location relative position situation prime position Correct answer: absolute location Explanation: Absolute location defines the location of a place based on a fixed point. A street address is a fixed point that describes the location of a place, and so is an example of absolute location. Relative position defines the location of a place relative to another place or the surroundings of a place. As a street address is a fixed point, this is not the correct answer to the question. Situation, like relative position, describes the location of a place relative to its surroundings. Prime position is not a real term used by geographers. A formal region __________. Possible Answers: has clearly defined cultural traits, physical criteria, or a governmental boundary is a product of political, social, or economic interactions is centered on a node includes both the core and periphery of economic development is based on the perceptions of the local people Correct answer: has clearly defined cultural traits, physical criteria, or a governmental boundary Explanation: A region is a man-made construct that geographers utilize to distinguish the features of an area. Formal regions, also known as uniform regions, are determined by having similar physical, cultural, or political traits. An example of a formal region is the state of North Carolina or the French-speaking region of Canada. Every group that inhabits an area leaves behind an imprint on the landscape. The imprints that earlier groups left behind can influence the landscape in the future. Which of the following terms best defines this concept? Possible Answers: connectivity sequent occupance future imprinting spatial perspective spacial interaction Correct answer: sequent occupance Explanation: Sequent occupance is the term that best describes this concept. Cities are good examples of sequent occupance. Many modern cities have old warehouses and industrial centers that have been converted into apartments, shopping areas, and condos. These warehouses remain from previous generations when that city used to be a manufacturing or shipping center and have influenced the use of space in the city after they served their initial purpose. Spatial interaction is not a good answer here because the term means that there is a dynamic flow of people, goods, or intangibles (like ideas or beliefs) from one area to another. Connectivity describes the tangible and intangible ways that places can be connected and does not apply to this scenario. Future imprinting is not a real term used by geographers. Spatial perspective is a framework used to evaluate the locations at which a specific phenomenon occurs and evaluate that phenomenon in the context of those various locations. As this questions refers to one location over time, this concept is not a good answer. What is the definition of Physical Geography?
Possible Answers: geography dealing with mountains geography of geology geography dealing with human nature and social construct geography dealing with natural features and earth's natural processes geography dealing with weather and climate, but not geology Correct answer: geography dealing with natural features and earth's natural processes Explanation: Physical Geography is one of the two major branches of geography. It studies the natural features of earth, as well as earth's natural processes. Physical Geography includes the study of mountains, geology, weather and climate, and much more. It looks at how the physical formation of the earth affects other aspects of geography. It does not directly deal with humans and social constructs — that is cultural or human geography.
