AP Success - AP Human Geography: Comprehensive Set 7
Question 1
The revitalization of a historically significant urban district is being planned. Which approach would best support the conservation of the area's cultural landscape?
Promoting the district as a hub for international tourism
Implementing zoning laws that restrict changes to the facades of historic buildings
Reducing public access to the area to prevent vandalism and degradation
Encouraging the development of chain stores to promote economic growth
Allowing the unrestricted construction of modern high-rise buildings
Question 2
In a scenario where global connectivity is high, which of the following would be a probable cause for a diffusion in fertility patterns from one country to another?
Comparative advantage in service sector employment
Climate change causing shifts in agricultural productivity
Trade agreements impacting the labor force
Cultural diffusion of family planning practices
Urban to rural migration patterns
Question 3
The concept of "comparative advantage" explains why:
Developing countries are excluded from global trade.
Countries export goods they can produce at a lower opportunity cost than others.
Industrial countries import more goods from agricultural countries.
All countries are self-sufficient.
High-income countries focus on tertiary activities.
Question 4
Gentrification in urban neighborhoods usually results in:
Displacement of lower-income residents
Reduced demand for urban space
Decreased investment in public infrastructure
Lower housing prices due to increased supply
Increased agricultural land use within city limits
Question 5
The map of land-use in the Cairo area includes "Informal areas on former agricultural land." This phenomenon is most likely a result of:
Environmental conservation measures
Land reclamation projects for agricultural enhancement
Government initiatives to redistribute urban populations
Urban sprawl and uncontrolled peripheral development
Greenbelt policies restricting urban growth
Question 6
"Gated Communities" are marked on the Cairo land-use map. What does this indicate about social patterns within the city?
Strong community organization and local governance
A lack of urban planning and zoning laws
Segregation based on socio-economic status
A decline in urban population density
High levels of income equality
Question 7
Which of the following best describes the impact of climate change on agricultural zoning as proposed by Von Thünen’s Model?
Contraction of the wilderness zone as arable land decreases
No impact, as Von Thünen’s Model does not account for environmental variables
Displacement of grain farming zones due to altered precipitation patterns
Expansion of the market gardening zone due to increased carbon dioxide levels
Shift in the location of dairy farming zones closer to urban centers
Question 8
Which model explains the growth of cities in developing countries, characterized by a colonial CBD, informal and formal housing sectors, and a peripheral squatter settlements zone?
Hoyt's Sector Model
Griffin-Ford Model
Burgess's Concentric Zone Model
Galactic City Model
Harris and Ullman's Multiple Nuclei Model
Question 9
Which policy is most appropriate for a country with a constrictive population pyramid and a shrinking labor force?
Encouraging delayed retirement and extended work life
Implementing strict anti-immigration laws
Reducing public spending on education
Promoting urbanization and industrial employment
Increasing tax incentives for larger families
Question 10
In the context of cultural globalization, "glocalization" refers to:
The homogenization of global cultures.
The process by which local cultures are exported and become global phenomena.
The dominance of local cultures over global influences.
The rejection of global products in favor of local alternatives.
The adaptation of global products to meet local tastes and preferences.
