Top AP Human Geography Flashcards

Welcome to our human geography flashcards! Human geography is the branch of the social sciences that deals with the study of people and their communities, cultures, economies and interaction with the environment. We have provided 3 sets of human geography flashcards to ensure that you have a deep understanding of human geography. In our first set of flashcards, we review difficult terminology involved in human geography. We define terms such as annexation, apartheid, and balkanization. In our second set of flashcards, we study the physical form and structure of urban places.

We ask questions like, “What is a term that describes a built up area consisting of the central city and its surrounding suburbs (similar to the term “urbanized area”, shows the extent of a city‟s influence)?” In our final set, we discuss key terms such as projection, geographic information systems, cartography and more! For more information, check out our flashcards. Time to get to work!
