AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY UNIT 1 EXAM WITH
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS
Economic - Answer Standard of living, income, trade, tariffs, imports/exports,
infrastructure, and employment
Almost anything to do with money
Social - Answer Literacy, education, looks, background, and beliefs
Enviromental - ANSWER Anything with or affecting nature.
Political - Answer Government/laws/taxes/borders/intergovernmental dispute
Almost anything involving a leader and sides.
Quantitive data - ANSWER defines statistics: the dog slept for 8.56 hours.
Qualitative data - answer Describes, approximates, and traits, which may be
subjective: This frog is lighter green than the other one.
Positive correlation: ANSWER A correlation in which as one variable rises, the
other falls, or vice versa. Both variables move in the same direction. For example,
eating more junk food causes you to gain weight.
Negative correlation - ANSWER the relationship between two variables in which
one variable increases while the other variable drops, for example, the higher the
temperature, the less people ski.
, Geographic Information System (GIS) - Answer A computer system for storing,
organizing, analyzing, and displaying geographic information.
GPS (global positioning system) - Answer A system that uses satellites, tracking
stations, and receivers to precisely locate something on Earth.
Remote sensing - ANSWER Collects data by sensing energy reflected by the earth.
Satellite Imagery - Answer Images of the Earth's surface captured by sensors
attached on orbiting satellites; these sensors record in both the visible and
non-visible sections of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing people to see
patterns and processes that are both visible and unseen to the naked eye.
DISPLAYS
Online mapping and visualization - answer Using the internet as a tool provides
great map-making possibilities.
The software supports several forms of maps, such as 3D maps or models.
Latitudes are the distance in degrees north or south of the equator.
Longitude - Answer Distance east or west of the prime meridian measured in
degrees.
The equator is an imaginary line drawn around the world that is equally distance
from both poles, dividing it into northern and southern hemispheres and serving as
the parallel of latitude 0°.
