within a multi-dimensional space-time continuum, at various
levels of detail. Dynamic geographic phenomena can be generally
conceptualized and represented as spatiotemporal patterns (e.g.,
trajectories of people or animals, flows of chemicals, or

change, urban growth, human spatial cognition) or spatiotemporal
events (e.g., earthquakes, Winter Olympics, or human eyes
fixating on a perceptually salient object in a scene). Humans
rarely care about spatiotemporal entities in isolation.
