Figure 5 below shows the final result of where are the most suitable locations for establishing a commercial quandong orchard. Figure 5: Suitable Locations of Establishing a Commercial Quandong Orchard
The lines with different color in the map represent different kinds of roads: the black lines are sealed roads while the brown ones are unsealed roads; the green lines are unformed roads and the blue ones are unknown roads. Also, different ranges of quandong site suitability in the map are indicated in different color too. The color from white to dark blue respectively represent the value of “0” to “1”.
The areas with the value of “0.9-1” show in dark blue in the map, which are the most suitable for growing quandong. While, the white areas represent the value of “0”. They are not suitable for planting quandong at all.
If dividing the map into the right part and left part, it can be seen that in the top right part of the map, most of the areas are in the color of red, orange, yellow, green, and light blue. There are sealed roads in the white areas. Most of the lower right areas are in white while some of the small areas are in dark blue and some of them are in light blue, green and yellow. The sealed roads are in both dark blue and white areas. Most of the left areas are in dark blue, light blue and green except for the top left corner are in white. Both of the dark blue and white areas have sealed roads.

The simulation is based on historical maps. I noticed that it was very important to know the different markings represent on the map. Opposing military forces were shown as different colored lines or dots. The longer and thicker the line, it meant that they had more troops. The different colors on the map indicated there were higher or lower levels of elevation. White represented the lowest ground and dark brown indicated the peaks of small hills. Ridges and hills were usually easier to defend and harder to attack. The blue lines represented creeks. Roads were indicated by black lines and were important to keep open in order to receive supplies and reinforcements.
2. The eastern zone is subdivided into two areas: north and south. The northern area includes the Yellow River Valley and has a dry, cold climate; the southern area includes the Yangzi Valley, has plentiful rainfall, and is relatively warm.
Its street lay out is a checkboard pattern with roads palaces and temples scatterred throughout
4. List three examples of things a map can show. Answer: A map can show you a legend or a key to explain to you what the different symbols mean like (roads, highways, railroads building and more things that are man-made) The second example is that the map can show you a compass rose and that will indicate directions, it will show the North, South, West, and East. Third example is Line symbols and that can show like boundary lines, roads, streets, or routes of trade and transportation.
The geography of China has affected its people for thousands of years. Rivers such as the Huang He and the Yangtze have benefited its people because they were able to trade, get food and water and settle down in this area. These rivers were beneficial because they helped to facilitate trade. (“The Study Of History”). The Chinese traded goods such as silk, salt, teas, sugar, porcelain and other luxurious goods (“Ancient China”). While this was beneficial to the Chinese there were also many negatives effects that the geography had in China. The Himalayan mountains had some negative effects on the Chinese. The Himalayas kept them isolated for a long time. This then meant that there was a lack of cultural diffusion which was occurring (“Himalayan Mountains Documentary…”). The Chinese weren’t able to trade goods and ideas because it was hard for them and other civilizations
The first map that I drew is about, the space I inhabited in the past, which is Mexico City. In this part of my life I resided in a very residential area- one that in the United States could

The lack of nature in the surroundings present in, The Road signifies the end of an era on Earth and the cycles of nature. There are many examples of how bleak the world after the apocalypse is, including in the beginning of the novel when the man describes the night sky around him as “dark beyond darkness and the days more gray each one than what had gone before.” (1-2) Not only does this gloomy weather show that the planet isn’t the same as before, but the dead flora and fauna of the area the characters are traveling in gives readers evidence to believe that it would be rare for the life to return and wonder how it got demolished in the first place. Readers usually make the
At first sight, this map requires some effort in order to be able to read such handwriting that is displayed, but it is clear that the map portrays the location of the New England colonies and the land structure. Although this map is not very clear, some of the northern colonies are labeled such
This changes the perception of the maps meaning. In the first week of lecture, the professor and the reading brought up an important question. She brought up, “what are you really seeing and what pieces are missing?” This creates a gap between perception and knowledge. Sight is more important than any words, and that is why this map is important. People can bring up a problem, but once they see the problem it becomes more tangible. An important reading is the “NoDAPL Map blog.” This shows how people use maps to manipulate situations. This blog supports my idea that map-makers choose what to show their selected audience, which shows the importance of what to include and exclude. If I showed too much roads or in-depth details, then it would distract the viewer from seeing the change of
Present day China is an unlimited nation. It is the world's fourth biggest nation and is home to roughly 1.25 billion individuals - about a quarter of the world's populace. It has an awesome assortment of atmospheres and territories. The south is wet and tropical, with some downpour woods scope. North-west China is secured in desert. In the exact far north-east, near Russia, the temperature can drop to - 50ºC in the winter. In the west of China there are the Himalayas, with a percentage of the most noteworthy mountains on the planet. China's most minimal point is in the Turfan Depression, at - 154 meters beneath ocean level. The Turfan Depression is otherwise called one of the "heaters" of China due to its mind boggling warmth. The liquefying snows from the mountains in the west make the headwaters for two of China's most essential waterways, the Yellow River and the Yangzi River. The Yellow River gets its name in view of the yellow wind-borne earth dust called loses that is blown over the north of China from the steppes of Central Asia. The loses is blown into the waterway and gives it a yellow appearance. The Yangzi River is the longest in China and third longest on the planet. The Yangzi River waters the rice developing districts in the south of China.
Typically you see roads that are made out of asphalt or dirt. Mainly because these roads are more reliable to use in areas of heavy traffic. They are less likely to have bumps or potholes in them. They are also the least expensive to make. But in some subdivisions they will not be asphalt the road will be made out of pavers. If you look closely you will even see rocks in between each individual paver. These roads are more expensive and time consuming to put in. But they can handle weather easier such as heavy amounts of rain if they are installed properly.

Now I’ll tell you about the geography of China. On the east of China there are two bodies of water, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. Then in the Southeast corner of China there is the South China Sea. In the Southwest corner is India. Sharing with India on its borders there is the Himalaya Mt. and within them is Mt. Everest which is one of the biggest mountains in the world. Coming from the east, the Yangzi River flows in and stops right around the center of China. Above it is the Huang He River that flows on the same direction the Yangzi River does. The top center of China is the Gobi Desert. There are many more geography than this but here are just some that I chose to talk about.
Maps are summarized real word for particular purposes and humans read maps to make a decision in real world. The position of map reader is essential for finding relevant information through the map. Therefore, the map reader position was explicitly indicated in the
