Gabbie’s super awesome AP Human Geography Study Set

Type of region that has close similarities in physical or cultural features

Type of region that is centered around cores/nodes that have similar functions/activities

Type of region that people believe to exist as a part of their cultural identity/Area based on perception

Physical Characteristics of a place

Location in relation to something else

Theory that while food production grows arithmetically human population grows exponentially

Low growth, Preindustrial, Agrarian society

High birth rates and high Death Rates

High Growth

Death rates decline, Birth rates stay high

Moderate growth, Mature industrial Economy

Birth rates and Death rates drop

Low Growth, Post industrial

Population over time in an area

Evolving from producing primary goods to mass-producing factories

Sector that deals with the extraction of natural resources

Sector in which the processing and manufacturing occurs

Sector that consists of services for people

Sector with service jobs with research and development

Experienced industrialization

Have not gone through industrialization

Currently industrializing

Distort the size and shape of land masses

Maps that show boundaries and geographic features

Maps that show Spatial Patterns

Population Clusters of the world (Four countries)

How many people occupy a given unit of land

Model that only considers Birth and death rates, not migration

This model only considers disease and death rates

Both models not consider Poverty and migration

Evaluating culture by its own standards

Evaluating another culture based on one’s own standards

Force that brings people/populations together

Force that drives People/populations apart

Where cultural traits spread from

Diffusion that RELIGIONS spread through

How traits spread through the relocation or migration of people

How traits spread past a cultural hearth without people moving/relocating

How traits are spread to nearby populations despite race or class

How traits are spread from important individuals to common people (Think royalty)

The idea behind a trait creates a new but related cultural trait

Small cultures adopt traits from bigger ones while maintaining their own

Completely adopting traits from another culture without keeping any elements of the old one

Blending of cultural traits

Coexistence of multiple cultures with no pressure to combine

Politically and ethnically broken apart states between larger but more powerful states

Geographic passages that restrict transport from one region to another

Powerful countries attempting to take over weaker ones through economic or cultural pressure

Boundaries drawn before a territory become populated

Drawn after a territory has been populated, often reflects cultural landscapes

Divides people of different ethnicities, languages, and religions

Drawn by outside forces with no consideration for the cultural landscapes

Follow lines of latitude and longitude

No longer function as boundaries but their effects still remain

The process of redrawing voting districts to manipulating voting outcomes

Redistricting occurs every

Central government holds the most power

Shares power with the central and regional government

The transfer of power from the central government to regional government

Less land but more labor

In tropical climates and grows cash crops for export

Grows crops to feed livestock

More land but lower yields

Clearing land for crops and allowing them to regrow

Led to population growth and urbanization

Increased food production through GMOs, Fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.

Provide for local community

Aims for profit

Model that explains how land is used to agriculture, centering around cost of land and transportation

Cause of the creation of mega cities and meta cities

10 million+ people

20 million+ people

Has over double the population of the second largest city, has a lot of control over a country

Model explains how larger settlements attract more people and interactions

Theory that explains Spatial distribution of settlements based on size

Making decisions (Policitians)

Theory that the location of an industry is influenced by transportation, labor Costs and agglomeration

Measures Economic output of a country

Value of goods and services produced by a country’s citizens

Income generated by a country’s citizens and companies

Measures gender inequality

Determines human development

A common language adopted by people that who speak different native languages

The belief that the environment and physical geography affect spatial distribution of human culture and societal development

The concept that physical geography and environment restricts human activity, but adaptation is possible

Factory placed on the other side of the border so labor is cheapS

Maps that cover large area in less detailA

Maps that cover small area with more detail

Total number of people divided by the total land area

Number of people per unit area of arable land

Total number of farmers divided by total area of farmlandN

Difference between the birth rate and death rate of a country

the average number of children that are born to a woman over her lifetime

Number of people who are too young or too old to work compared to ones who can work

How long it takes a country/population to double in population

Early in the Demographic Transition Model

Later in the Demographic Transition Model

Dominant countries that are typically more industrialized and urbanized, usually exploit smaller countries for labor and raw materials

Less industrialized, dependent on dominant country and have underdeveloped industry

Businesses whose locations are not tied to resources, transportation, or consumer locationsEn
