This standard asks you to understand where a geographic feature (like wetlands or earthquake zones) is located across a region and explain how it affects the places where it exists. You need to describe the pattern of where it appears, explain why it's distributed that way, and discuss what impact it has on local communities and environments.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Describe where a geographic phenomenon is spread across an area (for example, where wetlands are found in a region)
- ·Identify and describe the factors or processes that explain why it's distributed in that particular pattern
- ·Describe the positive and/or negative impacts the phenomenon has on the place and the people living there
- ·Use geographic terminology accurately and include relevant evidence (data, examples, case studies) to support your description
- ·For higher grades: explain the connections between causes and effects, and judge which impacts are most significant for the place
AAchieved
You describe where the phenomenon is found, identify some factors causing that distribution, describe impacts on place, and use some geographic terms and evidence.
