Spatial Organization

Spatial Organization • Spatial Organization is defined as, describing an object, device, or physical location. • Spatial Organization often includes phrases such as “east of the location”, “to the right”, or “read from left to right”. Without such organization the document could be confusing.

Illustration #1 Read graphic from left to right. This graphic illustrates Spatial Organization by showing how an object (virus) goes through a location (cell). By demonstrating the location of the virus's actions the graphic effectively secures it’s classification as Spatial Organization.

Illustration #2 The Water Cycle: What environmental conditions make it possible for the state rain? Another name for the water cycle is the hydrologic cycle. Basically, it involves three to five steps: water collected in an ocean or other source evaporates into the air and becomes clouds; the water then gathers together to become heavy enough to fall as rain. The rainwater eventually collects in pools of water which evaporate again. This is a cycle, so it always continues - water never stops moving. These are the different processes water goes through in order to cause rain. 1. Evaporation – The process when the sun heats water in ocean, rivers, lakes, and ponds the and turns it into vapor or steam, which then rises into the air. 2. Condensation – The process when water vapor cools and turns into tiny water droplets that attach to each other and form clouds. 3. Precipitation(rain) - Water falls from the clouds as rain, sleet, hail, or snow. 4. Runoff – This process consist of when water stays on the earth’s surface and flows into rivers, lakes, reservoirs, etc. 5. Transpiration – The process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere.
