  • Uniform - known as uniform or even distribution, this distribution pattern is characterized by the maximization of distance between any two individuals. Typically this is found in plants; they compete for a resource such as soil nutrients or moisture, so they space themselves far apart in order to maximize the amount of resource consumption. It can also be a result of territorial behavior as in penguin colonies.
  • Clumped - the most common distribution pattern in nature, clumped distribution is the opposite of uniform: individuals minimize the space between others; as a result, "clumps" of species form around each other. This can be a result of unreliable resources. If one area tends to accumulate one resource important to the population, the individuals of the population will clump around this resource. It is also found among many animals to either aid predation or fend off predators. Hyenas, lions, and cheetahs hunt in packs to ensure a kill while schools of fish aggregate to minimize the chance that any one fish will be eaten.
  • Random - in very homogenous environments, random or unpredictable spacing will occur, but this is not common in nature. For random distribution to occur, an individual of the population won't have any affinity or repulsion from another individual, nor will they have a preference for location due to biotic factors. Some examples of random dispersion include the random destinations of dandelion seeds dispersed by the wind and oyster larvae that are carried by water currents.

What are other types of maps besides Physical and political maps?

Some other types of maps include thematic maps which focus on specific themes such as population distribution or climate patterns, topographic maps that show elevation and terrain features, and cartogram maps that distort the size of regions based on a specific variable like population or economic data.


What three types of settlement pattern?

The three types of settlement patterns are: scattered, linear, and clustered. Scattered means that the houses are scattered, linear means that they are beside roads, and clustered means their clustered. :)


What are the two major types of population models?

The two major types of population models are deterministic models, which predict population changes based on fixed parameters and assumptions, and stochastic models, which account for randomness and variability in factors affecting population dynamics.


What are Examples of geographic patterns?

Examples of geographic patterns include the distribution of mountains and valleys, the arrangement of rivers and lakes, the layout of urban and rural areas, and the clustering of vegetation types in a particular region. These patterns can help us understand the natural processes and human activities that have shaped a specific area.


What are the three types of spatial distribution?

The three types of spatial distribution are uniform distribution (evenly spaced), random distribution (no pattern), and clustered distribution (grouped together).

What are the types of dispersion compensation?

The types of dispersion compensation are chromatic dispersion compensation, polarization mode dispersion compensation, and non-linear dispersion compensation. Chromatic dispersion compensation corrects for dispersion caused by different wavelengths of light traveling at different speeds. Polarization mode dispersion compensation addresses differences in travel time for different polarization states of light. Non-linear dispersion compensation manages dispersion that varies with the intensity of the light signal.


What are the different kinds of dispersion?

The three main types of dispersion are normal dispersion, anomalous dispersion, and material dispersion. Normal dispersion is when the refractive index decreases with increasing wavelength, while anomalous dispersion is when the refractive index increases with increasing wavelength. Material dispersion is due to variations in refractive index with different wavelengths in a medium.
