Unit 1 CED Breakdown
AP© HUMAN GEOGRAPHY Unit 1
Directions: Read all of the information for each of the following topics from the CED. For each topic, write down any of the concepts, vocabulary, or models that are unclear to you. This will help identify which concepts you need to review. After you finish reading a unit topic and identifying your strengths and weaknesses, watch the corresponding Mr. Sinn topic review video or AP daily video to review.
Note: If you want to maximize your learning, take notes while watching the video! If you would like you can use the guided notes created by Mr. Sinn, which can be found in the Ultimate Review Packet.

Identify Data may be gathered in the field by different organizations or by individuals. methods of geographic Geospatial technologies include data collection. geographic information systems (GIS), satellite navigation systems, remote sensing, and online mapping and visualization. Spatial information can come from written accounts in the form of field observations, media reports, travel narratives, policy documents, personal interviews, landscape analysis, and photographic interpretation. |

Patterns and processes at different scales reveal variations Explain what in, and different interpretations of, scales of data. analysis reveal. | ||
1.7 Regional Analysis | Geographers analyze complex issues and relationships with a distinctively spatial perspective. | Describe Regions are defined on the basis different ways of one or more unifying that characteristics or on patterns of geographers activity. define regions. Types of regions include formal, functional, and perceptual/vernacular. Regional boundaries are transitional and often contested and overlapping. Geographers apply regional analysis at local, national, and global scales. |
