Sample cards from this deck

Definition
Economic and Cultural Globalisation - TCE Geography (Tasmania)
Define Economic globalisation
The growing integration and interdependence of national economies through expanding flows of trade, investment, capital, technology and labour, organised increasingly through transnational corporations and global supply chains.

Key fact
Fieldwork and Spatial Skills - TCE Geography (Tasmania)
Tell me about Primary versus secondary data
Primary data is gathered firsthand for your specific question, giving control over method and currency but taking time and effort. Secondary data is pre-existing, saving time and offering scale and history, but it may be dated or collected for a different purpose.

Key fact
Land and Resource Management - TCE Geography (Tasmania)
Tell me about Multiple-use management
Many public lands are managed for several purposes at once. Tasmania's regional reserves and state forests can allow timber harvesting, recreation, water catchment protection and conservation on the same broad estate, requiring zoning and rules to keep uses compatible.
Definition
Geopolitics and International Integration - TCE Geography (Tasmania)
Define International integration
The process by which countries become more interconnected and interdependent through trade, investment, institutions, treaties, alliances and shared challenges, reducing the independence of the nation-state in some domains.

Hazard Risk and Vulnerability - TCE Geography (Tasmania)
Define Vulnerability
The characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard, including limited capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist and recover from impacts.
Definition
Land Cover Change Processes - TCE Geography (Tasmania)
Define Land cover transformation
A change in the physical and biological cover of the Earth's surface, from one type to another, driven by natural processes or human activities such as clearing, cultivation, grazing, drainage, urbanisation or mining.
Definition
Land Cover, Climate and Biodiversity - TCE Geography (Tasmania)
Define Albedo
The proportion of incoming solar radiation that a surface reflects back to space. Light surfaces such as ice and desert have high albedo and reflect strongly; dark surfaces such as forest and ocean have low albedo and absorb more, warming the surface.
