Ap Human Geography Chapter 1 Summary

During this unit of human geography, I have learned so much about religions, ethnicities, and even culture. For example, I learned about the religion Islam and how it is a religion of peace just like the Hindu religion and as well as the Buddhist religion and much more others. These religions and some others have much in common whether they accept it , these religions and some more are all peaceful religions and all teach good morals and principles to the followers, everyone following footsteps of good people and their good actions and/or deeds. When I was reading chapter 7 ( ethnicity) I learned that ethnicity also has to do with culture and that the chapter before that one, we were reading about ( folk culture) and how it much ties in with

1. West – It is to the west that the sun sets at the end of the day. This fact connects the element of water to the west, since with the setting of the sun darkness approaches and with it coolness, which are aspects of this element. In addition, it is after a hectic day that we wind down and experience a measure of peace and calm. Since the element of water is also associated with calmness it is appropriate to link it with the west and the setting sun.

Geology- It is the study of the Earth, which materials compose it, and how they work together, their processes (earthquakes, floods, erosion) and changes that they have gone through (mountains emerging, valleys, etc.). It also studies the organisms that had been on earth (fossils). It is a wide subject that can be subdivided into fields such as minerology, petrology and so on.

For the 5th day, he created creatures for the waters and birds for the sky.

1. In a compared map of the Holy Land and the state of New Jersey, there are not a lot of differences in the amount of land. Although the Holy Land does not provide important resources, people have been fighting over it throughout history.

In the text they used ‘pretty bloody extraordinary’ to describe the project the Paterson is undertaking, the words give off an air of passion to the project. The writer gives off the impression that the whole project is extraordinary with words ‘grand, epic and phrases like ‘not a single soul’.

Chapter Four mainly revolves around three major ideas and/or themes. These are the ideas of industrialization, empires, and war; more specifically World Wars 1 and 2. It starts by explaining the start of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain in the mid 1800s and how it originated and the events surrounding it. Many of the key ideas in this chapter will aid me in also discussing the economic history of Sweden.

1-Conquering poverty and disease must be a global effort. 2-If the nations of the world fail to lend a helping hand when tragedy strikes an individual country, the disastrous repercussions can spread globally. 3-Without outside funds supporting a country's economy during times of economic disaster, that country’s infrastructure might be at risk of a complete collapse. 4-When one country's economy falls, a domino effect can occur. 5-Thus, the global economy suffers when an individual country's economy falls. 6-Similarly, when disease ravages a country, that country's ability to care for its citizens becomes almost impossible. 7-Without emergency medical supplies from other countries and medical assistance from global organizations such

It was a slow scoring first half that ended knotted at 30, thanks to a Dallas Ennema tip in at the buzzer. Stony Brook survived the first 20 despite only having their star player Jameel Warney available for 7 minutes due to foul trouble.

Diffusion is the movement of substance from an area of high concentration to an area with low concentration. The rate of diffusion is influenced by a number of factors including the concentration of the gradient, temperature and the size and chemical

Within this assignment, I will be looking at how materials are exchanged across the cells membrane. I will be explaining the processes, diffusion, osmosis, active transport and phagocytosis. My assignment will also explain how these exchanges are related to the cell membranes structure and, explain the movement of water from cells using the concept of water potential. Diffusion Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration.

In a large organism diffusion is a net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. It is a passive process and it doesn’t require energy, whereas Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. It is a passive process and it doesn’t require energy.

- Globalization: the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale

In a sample having non-uniform composition of certain kind of atoms, a concentration gradient is set in, which leads to migration of atoms from region of their higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. This phenomenon is referred to as Diffusion and continues till atomic distribution becomes homogeneous throughout.
