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.
