Question

How do geographers use Maps to help them discover patterns and relationships in the world

Answer 1

Analyzing geographic information involves seeking patterns, relationships, and connections. As students analyze and interpret information, meaningful patterns or processes emerge. They can then synthesize their observations into coherent explanations. Students should note associations and similarities between areas, recognize patterns, and draw inferences from maps, graphs, diagrams, tables, and other sources. Using basic statistics, students are able to look for trends, relationships, and sequences.

Geographic analysis involves various thinking processes. It is sometimes difficult to separate the processes involved in organizing geographic information from the procedures used in analyzing it; the two processes go on simultaneously in many cases. But in other instances, analysis follows the manipulation of raw data into an easily understood and usable form. Both activities involve the use and development of students’ spatial skills.

Answer 2

Answer:

Like all the scientist, geographers (those who study the Earth), have their focus in finding patterns and relationships, and this is because patterns are easy to interpret, for example, "this type of mountain with a particular shape that is located in different parts of the world, is in the same place that an spesific type of storm", or things like that have lots and lots of information that the scientist can use. So the maps help them to know the exact location of the events, and then they can put those in tables and start to look for patterns and relationships.
