  1. Unit 2: Human Geography

  2. Unit 2: Human Geography Unit Description: Human geography is the study of how the world's people live, where they live, and how their activities vary from place to place. In the past few decades, modern technology and transportation have brought different people into closer contact than ever before, and the world today is experiencing unprecedented population growth. At the same time, throughout the world, cultures are mixing and mingling to form a new "world culture." Although they may live oceans apart, people are exposed to common music, food, clothing, and ideas.

  3. Lesson 1: Population Distribution Lesson Question: Where do people live and why do they live there? Lesson Objective: The students will understand the general distribution of the world’s population and the geographic factors that have helped determine this distribution.

  4. Population Distribution Distribution: to disperse through a space or over an area; spread; scatter.

  9. Section Questions: Why does the majority of the earth’s population live in the continents of Asia, Europe and North America? Why do relatively few people live in Australia? Why do relatively few people live in Africa? Why do relatively few people live in South America?

  10. Section Questions: What is population density? Why does Japan have such a high population density? (See map on page 57)
