Analyzing Data and Patterns

Spotting Trends in Geography

Geographers use data to find patterns and make predictions. Practice reading charts, graphs, and tables about population, weather, or resources. Look for trends, like rising temperatures or changing city populations, to understand what's happening and why.

Tips

  • Look for the highest and lowest values first.
  • Compare data from different times or places to see changes.
  • Ask questions: What caused this trend? What might happen next?

Examples

  • Examining a graph of global temperatures to discuss climate change.

  • Comparing population data to see which city is growing fastest.
