AP Human AP Human Geography: Course Outline and Key Concepts

1. Note to self first day of review location, place, scale, week or day before the test tying it all together with the following pattern, regionalization, and globalization.

2. AP Human Course Outline I Geography: Its Nature and Perspective 4% II Population 16% III Culture Patterns and Processes 16% IV Political Organization of Space 16% V Agricultural and Rural Land Use 16% VI Industrialization and Economic Development 16% VII Cities and Urban Land Use 16%

3. I Geography: Its Nature and Perspective • The course introduces students to the importance of spatial organization—the location of places, people, and events, and the connections among places and landscapes—in the understanding of human life on Earth.

4. Students learn how to use and interpret maps.

5. Reading Maps First look at Title, which describes the purpose of the map Next look at the legend. This is where the content is explained. Orient yourself by identifying principal features (major roads, cities, etc)

7. Types of Distortion

9. The Winkel tripel projection with Tissot's Indicatrix of deformation (National Geographic)

10. The Mercator projection with Tissot's Indicatrix of deformation. (The distortion increases without limit at higher latitudes)

11. Lambert's normal cylindrical equal-area projection with Tissot's Indicatrix of deformation

12. Isoline: a line that connects places of equal data value (air pollution or religion)

13. Isoline maps: show changes in the variable being mapped across a surface by lines that connect points of equal value

14. Cartogram: space is distorted to emphasize a particular attribute

15. Dot maps: use a dot to represent the occurrence of some variable in order to depict variation in density in a given area

16. Cloropleth Map: ranked classes of some variable are depicted with colors for predefined zones (counties, states, countries)

17. Percent over 25 with a Bachelor’s Degree

18. Percent over 25 with a Bachelor’s Degree

19. They also learn to apply mathematical formulas, models, and qualitative data to geographical concepts. Natural increase Dependency ratio Net migration Von thunen and Weber graphs

22. small scale maps: the place being mapped looks small on the map (i.e. a world map) but has a large denominator (making it a small number)

23. Large scale maps: local area(the place being mapped looks fairly large compared to what is shown on a world map for example a stadium)

24. Just as ½ is larger than 1/10, 1:10,000 is larger than 1:10,000,000

25. Geographic concepts emphasized throughout the course are: • location, • place, • scale, • pattern, (Created from a process) • regionalization, • and globalization

26. These concepts are basic to students’ understanding of • spatial interaction and spatial behavior, • the dynamics of human population growth and movement, • patterns of culture, • economic activities, • political organization of space, • and human settlement patterns, particularly urbanization.

27. Space or location is the where

28. Place: meaningful human associations with a location.

29. Human nature has a need to identify with a place and to differentiate ourselves through that place. Place suggests qualities of distinctiveness and identity with a location.

30. sense of place: feelings evoked among people as a result of the experiences and memories that they associate with a place New Orleans Flam, Norway

31. Places exert a strong influence on people’s physical wellbeing, and their opportunities.

32. Living in a small town dominated by petrochemical industries, for example, means a higher probability than elsewhere of being exposed to air and water pollution.

33. Do the following section just before the test

34. Geographic concepts emphasized throughout the course are: • pattern, (Created from a process) • regionalization, • and globalization.

35. the dynamics of human population growth and movement, • Countries move through stages with modernization • Decline birthrate follows death rate • Declining birthrate follows improved women rights • Aging population follows

37. Birth Rate - Death Rate = Natural Increase or Annual Percentage Increase

38. Correlating economic, demographic and social indicators show that different indicators of development are associated with each other TQ

39. Gender Empowerment Index

40. Migration is affected by stage of DTM

41. First Major Era Second Major Era

42. Migration to richer regions

43. Where does the UK receive most of its immigrants from?

48. Chain Migration: Migration of people to a specific location because relatives or members of the same nationality previously migrated therereduces level of uncertaintyties to family and friends at the destination
