Hints on Chapter 8 Labs:

*Activity 3 only.

*There’s lots of explanation in the case study introduction, and you can not do a good job on 3.4, 3.9, and 3.16 unless you understand the intro and the chapter

*When they ask you to find a “spatial pattern if any” concerning changes in land use in 3.3, 3.8, 3.15, in most cases there is a pattern.

Does the change happen close to town or far away?

Near the mountains or the river, or far from one of them?

In small patches or big ones?

Near roads or far from them?

*When they say “most important” (3.5) they simply mean biggest area.
