Chapter 2 — Question 1

For your own GIS application domain, make up a list of at least 20 different geographic
phenomena that might be relevant in the application domain.

Answer
Difficult to answer generically here. A good answer should list ‘beasts of the
right make’, i.e., real world phenomena with which locational—and possibly
temporal—aspects can be associated.
In contrast, the answer should not include entries that are computer repre-
sentations or visualizations, as these are ‘beasts of another make’.
