Spatial and Temporal in Geography

It never occurs to me the importance of these two words in geography - Spatial and Temporal until my teacher pointed out to me. So I am determined to use them as the key to understanding my study of geography.

With the most basic definition, SPATIAL = in space and TEMPORAL = in time.

What are spatial patterns?

A spatial pattern is a perceptual structure, placement or arrangment of objects on Earth, including space between those objects. These patterns are recognised because of their arrangement in line or clustering points.

What is a point pattern?

A point is a spatial pattern that is composed of closely arranged and somewhat organised points.

What is a line pattern?

A line pattern can be seen through road or river networks. Are they leading from one to another or they connecting each other in a meaningful manner?

What are areal pattern?

These are patterns based on colour and colour transition, representative texture and areas that are adjacent or nearby to each other.
