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.
