Interpreting Maps, Charts and Graphs ± Figure 10-14 Income Spent on Food People spend on average less than 20 percent of income for food in developed countries compared to more than 40 percent in developing countries. Instructions: Select a map, chart, or graph. Print it off, highlight and annotate the document and attach. 1. What is the title, date, and author/source? Title: Income Spent on Food Date: 2014 Author/Source: Pearson Education 2. What is the purpose of this document? Do you believe this map/chart/graph achieves its purpose? Explain. Figure 10-14 Income Spent on Food People spend on average less than 20 percent of income for food in developed countries compared to more than 40 percent in developing countries. I believe that this map achieves its purpose because you can clearly see the different percentages of income spent on foods in many countries, including developed and developing countries. 3. What patterns does the document show? Explain the distribution in terms of clustering, concentrations, densities, etc.

This map shows the income spent on food in different countries around the world. You can see that Africa, Europe, and the Middle East have the highest percentages. 4. How does the geographer use color and/or shading to show distributions on the map? Dark Blue: 40 percent and above Blue: 20-39 percent Light Blue: Below 20 percent Gray: No Data 5. What is the scale of the map? Why did the geographer choose this particular scale? Would the map be better served at a larger or smaller scale? The scale of this map is 4000 miles. This is served on a small scale. The geographer chose this particular scale to show a better representation of all countries. This map serves perfectly. 6. Is there any apparent bias in the map? Think about our class discussions about map bias to help with this along with the article “How Maps Lie”. There is no apparent bias in this map. 7. What toponyms are used, if any? Do these names reveal any cultural patterns or bias? Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Indian Ocean. 9. Explain which theme or themes of geography this document relates to and why. This map relates to the region (vernacular regions) because it includes countries around the world. 10. What specific region does this map/chart/graph refer to? What are some characteristics of this region? Does this information reflect your knowledge of the area or does it provide you with new information? Explain. (Make sure you identify some specific area to focus on in the map and respond to the question). This map refers to the income spent on foods in different regions around the world. Figure 10-14 Income Spent on Food People spend on average less than 20 percent of income for food in developed countries compared to more than 40 percent in developing countries. You can clearly see that Africa, Europe, and the Middle East have the highest percentages of income for food. This information does reﬂect my knowledge because it's new to me. 11. What are three observations, two conclusions, and one question do you have about the information provided? Observations: ● Dark Blue: 40 percent and above ● Blue: 20-39 percent ● Light Blue: Below 20 percent Conclusions: ● Europe, Middle East, and Africa have the highest percentages. ● The USA, Canada, and Australia have the lowest percentages.
