Define the concept of distance-decay.
Distance decay is when communication and ideas slowly become irrelevant the further away you travel. Distance decay can also relate to cultures, so for example if you live in India but move to Ireland the farther away you might get from the specific cultures in India.
Describe one real world example of distance-decay.
An example of distance decay would be how before we had good transportation cultures were very separated and how now because it only takes an hour to get back and forth around the country cultures have been able to intertwin more.
Describe one difference between density and distribution.
One difference between density and distribution is that density is the regularity of which something occurs. While distribution is the arrangement of those features.
Define the concept of cultural landscape.
Cultural landscapes emphasize the social and physical developments in a particular area How people can influence their environment impacts how the land is used and if we want to build cities than forest gets cut down which changes the environment.
Explain how possibilism influences the cultural landscape.
Possibilism is the belief that humans can change the environment for their benefit, this influences cultural landscapes because humans can now change the environment for their benefits, for example if two cultures were separated by a mountain, and they figured out how to pass over it then the two cultures that were originally separated are now able to intertwin and spread.
