Geographic Skills

Analytical Skills

The original AdornGeo support for turning maps, graphs and data into geographic evidence.

Patterns & trends

Identify overall patterns first, then support them with accurate figures, locations, changes over time and relevant anomalies.

Graph analysis

Read titles, axes, units, scales and keys; describe the dominant pattern; quantify change; compare categories or places; and identify exceptions.

From description to explanation

Move beyond what the data shows to explain why the pattern exists, using appropriate geographic processes, concepts and case knowledge.

Original AdornGeo support

The Weebly page contained dedicated guides for interpreting graphs, data and maps. Their original file slots are being preserved while the missing binaries are recovered.
