PATTERNS+OF+HUMAN+SETTLEMENTS

 Create a wikipage (this page) which: TERMS
 * defines and explains each term,
 * and provides two (3) examples photographs. One of the photographs must be from North America. One must be a diagram of each term. (Be sure to cite your source at the bottom of this wiki)
 * Each student of your group must provide a quick peer teaching of this to the class.
 * This must be completed in its entirety by the end of class today. Good luck.
 * Dispersed
 * Liner
 * Nucleated

 Dispersed Dispersed settlement means when buildings and farms are all spread out in that settlement. Dispersed the word itself means distribute over a wide area.This type of settlements are found in places outside the central region. For example Kent, Middle Barton in Oxfordshire, and the West Country. In other words dispersed settlements are the same as rural area.

Linear
__Linear Settlements__ In geography, a linear settlement is a small to medium sized settlement that is formed around roads, rivers, and canals. They are often simply a single street with houses/buildings on both sides of the road. They are also known as linear patterns or linear villages. Linear settlements usually develop due to the growth of the town being restricted by hills, mountains, rivers, valleys.

 ** Nucleated **
Central Focused Point of Population= Nucleated Settlement Nucleated settlement: A settlement in which towns or villages are focused at a central point. This central point is usually an important location, primarily chosen through the amount of benefit it can provide for the people, such as easiness of defense, access to water, and convenient transformation.

Examples-

Seoul, Korea: Picture of Nucleated Settlement: Seoul. Seoul is an example of nucleated settlement; it has a river right next to it with many roads that connect to multiple cities in Korea. Its location is also suitable for effective defense against other countries such as Japan.

Diagram: Diagram of Nucleated Settlement: This diagram shows the concentrated buildings and villages at a central point; an intersection of two roads. This intersection provides the people with convenient transportation and interaction between people of other regions.

North America Example: Manhattan, NY: One of the most busiest city in the world and in North America.
