| Distribution |
is how everything on the Earth's surface has a physical location and is organized in some fashion |
| Three Aspects of Distribution |
density, concentration, pattern |
| Density |
how often an object occurs within a given area |
| Population/Arithmetic Density |
numper of people / amount of all land in a given area |
| Population/Arithmetic Density |
people per square kilometer or mile |
| Physiological Density |
total number of people / arable land |
| Physiological Density |
more accurate measure of population density |
| Concentration |
refers to the proximity of a particular phenomenom over the area in which it is spread |
| Clustered/Agglomerated |
objects are close together |
| Dispersed/Scattered |
objects are spread out |
| Pattern |
relates to how objects are organized in their space |
| Linear |
when a pattern is laid out on a singular line |
| Centralized |
if the pattern is clustered together |
| Random Distribution |
when there is a lack of pattern on the landscape |
| Spatial Distribution |
physical location of geographic phenomena across space |
