evaluate geographical data and information to make generalisations and predictions, explain patterns and trends and infer relationships

Elaborations

• 1 making generalisations about trends; for example, using questionnaires or interviews to identify people’s perspectives on live food fish trade in Australia or people’s access to the internet in the local area
• 2 explaining a pattern; for example, using the current Global Hunger Index and the updated Food and Agricultural Organization’s Low-Income Food-Deficit Countries (LIFDCs) to identify locations of food scarcity and malnutrition, or comparing maps showing transport networks with survey responses on personal mobility
• 3 explaining relationships between causes and impacts of factors represented in data; for example, the impact of the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) on the way farmers control the dispersion of fertilisers and pesticides to produce higher yields and limit run-off, or the effects of the use of GPS to construct maps on how tourists use different transport systems to visits popular places in Australia
