The concept of interconnection emphasises that no object of geographical study can be viewed in isolation. It is about the ways that geographical phenomena are connected to each other through environmental processes, the movement of people, flows of trade and investment, the purchase of goods and services, cultural influences, the exchange of ideas and information, political power and international agreements. Interconnections can be complex, reciprocal or interdependent, and have a strong influence on the characteristics of places. An understanding of the significance of interconnection leads to holistic thinking and helps students to see the various aspects of Geography as connected rather than separate bodies of knowledge.

The term international integration refers to a process whereby the nature of the relationship among economic or cultural entities changes in ways that erode the autonomy or uniqueness of each and make them part of a larger aggregate.

An interpretation is an explanation of the past, for example about a specific person, event or development.
