Questions and Answers

Why is it necessary to model and represent what we know in geography?

  • To simplify the size and shape of the Earth for mapping (correct)
  • To emphasize the continuous variation in the physical landscape
  • To complicate the understanding of physical and social landscapes
  • To create complexity in mapping phenomena across Earth’s surface
  • How are social phenomena like income, voting, and residential style often summarized on maps?

  • By giving areas occupied by many people a single value (correct)
  • By representing each individual's data separately
  • By emphasizing the diversity within each area
  • By displaying every social phenomenon separately
  • What is a key reason for generalizing and combining individual observations when mapping phenomena across Earth’s surface?
