    • Use map types, projections, geospatial technology, data collection, scale, spatial patterns, diffusion, and regions.

    Population and migration patterns and processes

    • Use density, distribution, demographic transition, population policy, push-pull factors, and migration models.

    Practice: Analyze a population or migration dataset and write a claim with process, scale, and one limitation.

  3. 03

    Cultural patterns and processes
