Questions and Answers

What is a Linear Pattern?

  • A pattern appearing as a line along a road (correct)
  • A pattern that collects around a central point
  • A random distribution of points on a map
  • A pattern with elements widely separated

    • What characterizes a Random Pattern?

  • Features cluster closely around a central point
  • Any point on a map is equally likely to occur (correct)
  • Elements are widely separated
  • Elements are arranged in a circle

    Study Notes

    Types of Spatial Patterns

    • Linear Pattern: Represents a line formation; common in structures like housing along roads.

    • Random Pattern: Each location on a map has equal probability of occurrence; no identifiable structure or arrangement.

    • Peripheral Pattern: Features located around the outer edge; exemplified by new housing developments on city outskirts.

    • Nucleated Pattern: Central clustering around a focal point; occurs in areas like houses near crossroads.

    • Dispersed Pattern: Elements are widely spaced apart; notable example includes farms scattered in New Zealand's South Island high country.

    • Clustered Pattern: Opposite of dispersed, with features concentrated in proximity; common in nightlife districts with many nightclubs near city centers.

    • Concentrated Pattern: Characterized by dense arrangement of features; in New Zealand, population heavily clustered in urban areas.

    • Sparse Pattern: Features are rare in a given area; often observed in settlements within desert regions.

    • Radial Pattern: Arises from a central point, radiating outward; typical of rivers that flow down from a mountain peak.

    • Grid Pattern: Consists of intersecting parallel lines; typical in urban planning with streets arranged in a grid layout.
