Absolute distance - Distance in quantitative terms; such as miles or kilometers. Relative distance - Qualitative distance; such as 20 min south, 30 min north, description of place. Clustering - How close objects are over a geographical space. Dispersal - How far objects are spread out.
Information presented and the examples highlighted in the section support concepts outlined in Big Idea 2 of the AP ® Biology Curriculum Framework.
The AP Biology exam often asks students to find the rate of a process or reaction between two points on a graph. In order to find the rate, calculate the slope of the best fit line that connects the two points.
The typical questions asked in an AP Biology lab investigation can likewise be divided into two groups: those questions that compare phenomena, events, or populations (Is A different from B?), and those questions that look for associations between variables (How are A and B correlated?).
We can describe these populations by their size—what we often mean by population when we're talking about towns and cities—as well as by their density—how many people per unit area—and distribution—how clumped or spread out the people are.
a galactic city which is dispersed, mostly dependent on automobile transportation, and made up of several centers. This is the dominant urban form in most American cities today and increasingly around the world, though to a lesser extent. The diagram and map below illustrate this phenomenon.
location of human and physical objects, while thematic maps show the spatial arrangement of features or data. Examples of spatial patterns shown on maps include absolute and relative location and distance, direction, elevation, dispersal, and clustering. These patterns can be portrayed on various maps such as physical, political,
