Unit 3: Responding to land cover transformations
Quick questions on Remote sensing and spatial patterns of land cover change for QCE Geography Unit 3
3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What are reading spatial patterns?Show answer
The point of the imagery is the pattern. Describe it with geographic language:
What is scale?Show answer
Land cover patterns look different at different scales. Local imagery shows the shape of one clearing or suburb. Regional imagery shows how many clearings accumulate into a transformed bioregion. Continental and global imagery shows the overall distribution of forest loss, urban growth and drought.
What is vague pattern language?Show answer
Replace "there is lots of clearing" with "clearing is clustered along a linear frontier following new roads". Use distribution, shape and association.
