In Unit 1, you will learn key terms in human geography, including important ideas like spatial distribution, how people view places, and patterns and processes. You will study the different ways geographic features and events can spread and examine the types of maps geographers design. Additionally, you will explore how geographers use the idea of regions to understand the relationship between humans and their environments. Lastly, you will learn about the importance of gathering and analyzing geographic data using tools like satellites (remote sensing), geographic information systems (GIS), and the Global Positioning System (GPS).
