Question

Differentiate between chronological and spatial classification. Construct an imaginary table based on spatial classification.

Answer 1

When the data is classified on the basis of time, then it is known as chronological classification. For example, a population classified on the basis of the number of years.

When the data is classified on the basis of place such as country, state, area and so on, then it is called spatial classification.

For example, production of wheat in different states of India.

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{State}& \text{Yield of wheat in}\\ & \text{million tonnes}\\ \text{Punjab}& 34\\ \text{Uttar Pradesh}& 42\\ \text{Maharashtra}& 18\end{array}$
