What is there and why care?
MINDS ON
The next step in our geographic inquiry process is interpreting and analysing data. Often times when people think of data, they think of numbers. However, data can come in a variety of forms. Consider photos, could you gather information from them? How about a map, could it tell you important information? What about a graph, could it communicate a message? As you can see, all of these examples are different sources of data and can be equally as valuable as a written or numerical piece of work.
Let's begin by interpreting a variety of images to see what kind of geographic data we can pull from them.
