Resource description

Fictional representation exercise

1. Which representation most directly serves the stated aim?

Choose an answer

2. What should determine the representation?

Choose an answer

The maps and data are fictional. These exercises do not count as required fieldwork.

Use the resource carefully

State the unit and the part of the resource you used. A pattern in a fictional dataset is evidence for that exercise; it does not establish a fact about a real place.

Check whether an explanation is supported by the data or needs additional geographical knowledge. For statistical tasks, a calculated result does not establish causation or significance by itself.
