How does visual information help the reader to understand scientific and technical texts?

 

Visual text helps you understand scientific text and technical text by showing you what they mean in the text. If you are reading something you have never read about or heard about in science it would help you understand the text easier if there were pictures and captions. When you read something complicated it would help you understand the text if there was pictures or diagrams.

 

When reading scientific and technical texts what they are saying maybe hard to understand so having some type of visual information will show what they are saying. This really helps visual learners because they mainly learn from any visual information in the text they’re reading.  

 

When you are reading scientific text and technical text and you are a visual learner it would definitely help you understand what they are saying by seeing a diagram or a picture and caption so you could understand the text more. If your science book is teaching you about Earth’s layers and you never heard of any of the layers. You didn’t know which order they went in it would be easier for the reader to understand if they had a diagram and or a picture and caption.
When you are reading scientific text and technical text the visual information helps you by figuring out the definition. As an example if you don’t know what the mantle it might show you the definition under the diagram. Another example is if you are reading about plate tectonics and it shows you a picture of the plates moving in a different direction and it could have a caption to tell you what it is showing in the diagram.
