Study Notes
- Geography studies space, including locations, conditions, and connections between places.
- Spatial thinking analyzes spatial patterns of people, places, and environments.
- Spatial analysis involves identifying and analyzing patterns in the geographical distribution of phenomena.
- Patterns can be described as linear, random, regular, irregular, clustered, dense, dispersed, circular, rectangular, or concentric.
- Spatial analysis in GGH1501 focuses on identifying and analyzing global-scale patterns using GIS, specifically the StatWorld software.
Spatial Variation
- Spatial variation refers to how a phenomenon differs from place to place over space.
- As an example of spatial variation, climate is not the same everywhere in the world.
- Very cold, wet, and dry places tend to be found in specific regions of the world, creating a spatial pattern.
Spatial Association
- Spatial association refers to the relationships between the spatial distribution patterns of different phenomena.
- Areas with extreme climates tend to have low population numbers and densities
- There is a spatial association between extreme climate types and low population numbers/densities.

Description
This lesson explores spatial variation, how phenomena differ across space, using climate as an example of spatial patterns. It also covers spatial association, examining relationships between different phenomena distributed geographically. Focus is on identifying global patterns.
