Narration
In essence, this is a restatement of how to analyze and understand patterns within places. It is also important for geographers to understand major processes and how they affect global conditions and individual places. In this case, we think about the globe as the place. The movement of energy from the tropics to the Polar Regions, the movement of moisture from the oceans to the continental landmasses, movement of people, and the spread of ideas, are all processes that produce patterns. Patterns of vegetation, fauna, precipitation, house types, and agricultural activities are all the result of various processes. Geographers wishing to understand the character of places that range in scale from the earth to the smallest farm must be sure to understand the processes that produce the patterns, and how patterns set up interactions among places.
