Distribution:Density, Concentration, & PatternFig. 1-18: The density, concentration, and pattern (of houses in this example) may vary in an area or landscape.

Space: Distribution of FeaturesSpatial thinking is essential to understand the arrangement of objects across Earth.Each building or person occupies a unique space on EarthThe arrangement of a feature in space is known as distribution3 properties of distribution: density, concentration and pattern

DensityThe frequency in which something occursArithmetic Density: Total Number of objects in an areaPhysiological Density:# of persons per unit of area suitable for agAgricultural Density:# of farmers per unit of farmland

What are three ies of Arithmetic Density?

ConcentrationExtent of a features spread over space.If the objects are close together, theyre clustered.If they are far apart they are dispersed.

What are three examples of objects that are clustered and dispersed?

PatternThe geometric distribution of objects in spaceLand Ordiance of 1785 gave grid patterns to the west.College students planted pipe bombs across the USthe patternsmiley faceHow are MLB organized?
