Space… no not outer space APHuG

SPACE The gap between two objects As geographers we observe that space and notice things about how the objects are distributed across that space. Then we try to understand why they are that way The arrangement of a feature in space is known as distribution 3 types of distribution: density, concentration, pattern

Density density Number of feature Land area Frequency with which something occurs in space. density Number of feature Land area

India =390 per sq km Bahrain = 1857 per sq km More people, but more land Bahrain = 1857 per sq km Less people, less land India’s pop about 1, 281, 935, 911 (2017) land 3,287,263 sq km Bahrain pop 1,410,942 (2017) land 760 sq km

Concentration Close together or apart Clustered or dispersed

Pattern Geometric arrangements of objects Sometimes they are organized, other times irregular
