Why is it necessary to model and represent what we know in geography?
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?
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?
What is a key reason for generalizing and combining individual observations when mapping phenomena across Earth’s surface?
- To prioritize individual observations over generalization
- The physical landscape varies continuously, requiring simplification (correct)
- The physical landscape varies abruptly, demanding detailed representation
- To highlight the complexity of the real world
