    Study Notes

    P2P Method

    • The P2P method is a technique used by geographers to describe the distribution of something shown on a map.
    • The method consists of three steps: Pattern, Quantifier, and Exceptions.

    Pattern (P)

    • The first step is to look for patterns on the map and describe them.
    • Identify any obvious patterns and describe them in detail.

    Quantifier (Q)

    • The second step is to explain the reasons behind the pattern.
    • Think about reasons that explain why things are found where they are.

    Exceptions (E)

    • The third step is to identify any exceptions to the pattern.
    • Describe any exceptions to the pattern and explain why they exist.

    Applying the P2P Method

    • Example: Distribution of Koalas in Australia

      • Pattern: Koalas are found mostly along the eastern and southeastern coastlines and a few hundred kilometers inland in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria.
      • Quantifier: The climate and location of forests that koalas need for food are the main reasons for this distribution.
      • Exception: The one exception to this pattern is in Southeast South Australia, where koalas can be found due to the presence of the Murray River and the trees that grow along its banks.

    • Example: Distribution of Coal Mines in Australia

      • Pattern: Total coal mines in Australia are found in southeast Queensland and eastern New South Wales near the coast.
      • Quantifier: The distribution of coal mines can be explained by the location of coal resources underground.
      • Exception: There are some exceptions to this pattern, including coal mines in Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia.
