WG 6 URBANIZATION AND SETTLEMENT – units 1,4, + chapter 4, section on urbanization 17. List examples of human and physical features that influence the sizes and distributions of settlements. 18. How have these processes (urbanization, transportation, access to resources, changes in economic activities) caused changes in settlement patterns? WG 7 POPULATION GEOGRAPHY –unit 4, + chapter 4, section on population 19. Describe the differences in the population pyramids you would find in the following countries: USA, Mexico, India, China, Russia, Japan, Bangladesh, Sudan. Google population pyramids if needed. 20. Using population data such as population pyramids, infant mortality rates, etc… predict the future population trends for 3 of these countries: USA, Mexico, India, China, Russia, Japan, Bangladesh, Sudan. 21. Give examples of push and pull factors using ESPN to explain the routes/flows of human migrations. 22. Explain the trends in world population growth and the distribution of that growth (think about MDC’s, NIC’s, LDC’s, etc…) 23. Explain how these examples (spatial diffusion, connectivity, standard of living, pandemics and loss of local culture) have either benefitted/+ or been a challenge/- regarding globalization. WG 8 INTERDEPENDENCE/HEI – unit 1,2,3,4, + chapter 1 24. How do people a. depend on the physical environment? (Hint: include influences of culture and technology) b. adapt to the physical environment? (Hint: include influences of culture and technology) c. modify the physical environment? (Hint: include influences of culture and technology) 25. Think extreme weather events such as floods, tsunamis, volcanic activity, El Nino and analyze the consequences on interactions between humans and the environment. 26. What is the economic relationship between settlements and the environment? 27. What is the political relationship between settlements and the environment? 28. How does sustainable development connect settlements and the environment? 29. How does the use of renewable resources connect settlements and the environment? 30. How does the use of non-renewable resources connect settlements and the environment? WG 9 REGIONS - unit 1, + chapter 1 31. Identify how these factors create regions (climate, vegetation, language, trade networks, political units, river systems, religions). 32. Describe these types of regions: Formal, Functional, Perceptual using 3 examples in the USA WG 12 RESOURCES – units 2,3,4, 33. How are the location, pattern, and movement of products, money and people tied to the a. creation of key natural resources? Distribution of key natural resources? Management of key natural resources? 34. What is the environmental impact and economic impact of the development, use and scarcity of natural resources on policies of a government?
