Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.20 Scale, Patterns, and Processes skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A local electronics store raises prices after the national currency weakens, even though the store’s rent and wages are unchanged. The store imports most of its products.

Which explanation best connects the local price change to a larger-scale process?

ALocal prices changed only because the store owner wanted more profit.

BCurrency values matter only for tourism.

CThe store is isolated from global trade.

DA weaker national currency makes imported goods cost more in local money, linking local prices to global markets.

Solution & Explanation:When the currency weakens, importing becomes more expensive in local currency. Because the store relies on imports, global financial conditions affect local prices.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A new farming technique spreads slowly at first, then rapidly after several demonstration farms succeed, and finally slows again as most farms adopt it.

Which diffusion model best matches this pattern over time?

AA straight line increase at a constant rate

BA sudden jump with no slow phase

CAn S-shaped adoption curve (logistic diffusion)

DA pattern that cannot be graphed

Solution & Explanation:Many innovations follow logistic diffusion: early adopters first, rapid growth as others copy, then a slowdown as the market becomes saturated.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A study finds that citywide, neighborhoods with more parks have lower asthma rates. But within each neighborhood, blocks closer to parks sometimes have higher asthma because a major road also runs next to the parks.

What is the best interpretation?

AParks cause asthma in every place.

BThe results show how relationships can change with scale; block-level factors (like roads) can differ from neighborhood-level patterns.

CStatistics always contradict themselves, so mapping is useless.

DScale never changes relationships.

Solution & Explanation:At broader scales, parks may signal greener, healthier neighborhoods. At finer scales, a nearby road can create local pollution hotspots. Relationships can shift across scales.
