  1. Gravity model
  2. Central place theory
  3. Von Thunen model
  4. All of the above
Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The gravity model is used to model the interaction between two or more locations. The strength of the interaction is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the locations and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Which of the following is an example of a gravity model?

  1. The migration of people from rural to urban areas
  2. The flow of goods from one country to another
  3. The spread of a disease from one person to another
  4. All of the above
Question 3 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Central place theory is a mathematical model that explains the distribution of cities and towns. According to central place theory, cities and towns are located at regular intervals along transportation routes. The size of a city or town is determined by the number of people it serves. Which of the following is an example of a central place?

  1. A village
  2. A town
  3. A city
  4. All of the above
Question 4 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Von Thunen model is a mathematical model that explains the distribution of agricultural land use. According to Von Thunen model, the type of agricultural land use at a given location is determined by the distance from the market. The closer the land is to the market, the more intensive the agricultural land use. Which of the following is an example of intensive agricultural land use?

  1. Growing vegetables
  2. Raising livestock
  3. Growing wheat
  4. All of the above
