We look at population through double lenses of space and place. Human populations have moved and settled in a variety of locations over a long period of time. That movement or migration raises several questions. What makes up a population?
How many of you AP® Human Geography students are starting to stress out over the massive amounts of information you’ve covered for the exam? Are you scared your teacher isn’t reviewing enough? Have you reviewed linguistic diversity? If not, that’s okay! We’re here to review it with you and help you remember it for the exam.
Almost half of the world’s population live in cities, and the urban population is growing much faster than the rural population. This mass migrating into cities and urban areas is a good reason for you to know about urban dynamics. It is a fact that the form, size, and function of urban settlements is always changing.
Livestock ranching is an important agricultural process that has a significant impact on economies all over the world. In this article, we will examine what livestock ranching is, where it is most predominant, why it is so vital to a region’s economy, the challenges that it currently faces, and how it relates to the AP® Human Geography exam’s multiple-choice and free-response question (FRQ) sections.
There are many serious challenges facing countries today. History shows us that those challenges can and do lead to civil unrest, protest, and armed conflict. Those challenges are rooted in history and countries (also called states) must deal with the boundaries left to them by past generations.
Human populations have moved and settled in many locations over a long period of time. That movement or migration raises several questions for students of human geography. What makes up a population?
Today, we’ll cover the Concentric Zone Model. When we talk about different groups of people and different parts of town as being business districts, residential districts or even working class districts, most people don’t think of them as concentric zones. Concentric zones are a model of the way that different social groups are arranged within a city, and a general representation is found in nearly all cities.
When we talk about a large city, there are various aspects to consider. The suburbs and the urban areas coexist, and that’s where the term agglomeration comes from. Located as part of the city center as well as right outside the city center, an agglomeration is a built-up area of a city region. In this AP® Human geography review, we will discuss about what agglomeration is and its importance.
A stateless nation is a special case of national political systems, but nonetheless crucial to understanding political geography. They are quite common throughout the world and consistently make major headlines. In this article, we will discuss what a stateless nation is, look at examples of stateless nations, explain why it’s important in having a comprehensive understanding of geography, and how to understand it in the context of the AP® Human Geography exam.
