Thinking Geographically

They eliminate the need for geographers to visit places physically for data collection.

They replace traditional cartographic methods with more advanced ones.

They allow detailed examination at multiple scales simultaneously - local to global level.

They provide access to real-time data of any place in the world.

The global spread of the English language.

The change in a country's population over time.

The impact of climate change on migration patterns.

The growth rate of urban cities worldwide.

It allows us to calculate exact population densities over large land masses.

It provides accurate census data for each country on Earth.

It lets us observe people's daily activities from space, revealing population numbers per region.

It helps determine the locations with high concentrations by observing light pollution at night.

There could be inefficient allocation causing perishable goods farming too far from markets resulting in increased waste and spoilage costs.

Incorrect cultivation of high-yield crops in distant locales despite transport inefficiencies, contrary to the model's suggestion of proximity-based intensification.

Overemphasis on production for local consumption regardless of global trade opportunities, potentially better suited for remote agricultural locations according to market demands instead of strict adherence to spatial considerations per von Thünen's prescripts.

Incorrect farming of non-perishable goods closer to markets while perishables farther away, thus reversing the model's intuitive logistics pattern.
