What is describing distribution like a geographer?Show answer
When the exam shows you a world land cover map, describe the pattern using geographic language: location (continents, hemispheres, latitude bands), the spatial association between cover and climate, and any anomalies. For example, you might note that forest is concentrated in equatorial and high-latitude bands, that deserts form belts around 30 degrees latitude, and that ice is confined to the poles and high mountains. Quantify where you can, and name real places.
