Question
Use the illustration to answer the question.
The diagram represents the travel time for several famous journeys.
In 2–3 sentences, identify the geographic concept illustrated by this comparison, and explain its importance to understanding diffusion.
In 2–3 sentences, describe the importance of hearths in the journeys represented here.
In 2–3 sentences, describe the importance of hearths in other instances of diffusion.
Answer
The geographic concept illustrated by this comparison is the concept of distance decay. This concept explains that as distance increases, the interaction and diffusion between two places decreases. The comparison of travel times for different journeys demonstrates how different distances can impact the speed and extent of diffusion.
Hearths are important in the journeys represented here as they represent the points of origin or starting points of the diffusion. The journeys start from these hearths and the diffusion spreads outwards from there. The hearths are the sources or origin points of the diffusion.
Hearths are also important in other instances of diffusion as they represent the locations where certain ideas, innovations, or cultural practices originate and spread from. They act as the starting points or sources of the diffusion process, and understanding the hearths is crucial in understanding how and why certain ideas or innovations spread and transform over time.

Question 9
Match the type of eclipse to the correct image of the positions of the sun, moon and earth.(1 point)
Apologies, but as a text-based language model, I don't have access to images. However, I can provide a description of the positions of the sun, moon, and earth for different types of eclipses:
1. Total solar eclipse: The moon is positioned directly between the sun and the earth, blocking the sun's light and creating a complete shadow on the earth's surface.
2. Partial solar eclipse: The moon is partially aligned with the sun and the earth, causing the moon to partially block the sun's light, resulting in a shadow on a portion of the earth's surface.
3. Total lunar eclipse: The earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, casting its shadow on the moon. This causes the moon to appear reddish or copper-colored during a total lunar eclipse.
4. Partial lunar eclipse: The earth partially blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon, resulting in a partial darkening of the moon's surface.
Please match these descriptions with the appropriate images to complete the task.
