What's the difference between "ecological dimension" and "environmental constraint"? (2016 q1)

The answer should be ecological dimension, tbh I don't know exactly what it means but environmental constraint is the environmental factors which limit a business or activity, so this refers more to people and economic activity. For example an environmental constraint for viticuluture (growing grapes for wine which is my economic activity) is that they can only grow in Mediterranean climates.

From google: "the ecological dimension describes the relationship that exists between people and the natural elements of the environment and the impacts that they have upon one another."

Basically though, ecological dimension is the relationship between humans and their impact on the environment. Environmental constraint is how the area is restricted by the environment I believe...so alpine tourism for example can only take place in cold areas with snow, obviously:)
that help at all?
And to answer your other one, precis maps can use colors, but not to differentiate between temperatures etc, more to differentiate the areas, so land use, say an area may be green to depict a park, blue is used to show water. That make sense?
Choropleth maps use colors in gradients to show things like temperature, precipitation etc.

So to summarise:
Ecological dimension = human impacts
Environmental constraint = environmental limits
Precis map = simplified topographic map
Chloropleth map = colours show trends

Thanks for the help!

Hey can someone please help me understand how to work out the time of day when just looking at a photo??
Also how do you work out a semi-logarithmic graph??
