Who gathers graphic data?

Individual data gatherers, and organizations

An official count or survey of population, typically recording various details about individuals, such as age, sex, and race

Learning and doing research involving first-hand experience, which takes place outside the classroom setting

The (invisible) horizontal lines circling Earth parallel to the equator; latitude is the degree of distance north or south from the equator, which is at 0 degrees, as far as the poles, which are at 90 degrees.

the (invisible) vertical lines on Earth;s surface that mark imaginary circles connecting the North pole with the South pole.

a precise position on earth´s surface

The zero-degree longitude line that runs through Greenwich, England; also known as the Greenwich Meridian.

Global positioning system (GPS)

A system of 24 satellites that orbit Earth twice daily and transmit radio signals Earthward; the basis for many map-based apps that provide directions on how to get from one place to another.

Geographic information system (GIS)

Uses maps plus information to find patterns about places and problem solve. (EX: does an area need a new school based on the population of kids in that area)

The scanning of Earth by satellite or high-flying aircraft in order to obtain information about it.

Remote-sensing photography that produces fine-grained, high-resolution, highly detailed images.

Images of Earth’s surface gathered from sensors mounted on orbiting satellites, allowing humans to view patterns and processes that are both visible and invisible to the naked eye.

Satellite data make it possible to better understand how Earth is changing, which in turn helps experts make better decisions.

Census data have important implications for the people who live in a place and how they go about their daily lives.
