<p>oh okay <em>whew</em></p>
<p>heartland theory is basically what is shown in the diagram. the region shaded as heartland = predicted global economic power.</p>
<p>rimland is the one shaded around the heartland region.</p>
<p>they are both wrong as shown as what unfolded after wwII. the US in fact turned out to be the the global power.</p>
<p>Barron’s has a nice chart for language families on p. 153. Their religion section starts on p. 156. Like aquamarina said, both fall under Cultural Geography.</p>
<p>The Heartland Theory states that whoever controlled Eurasia could control the world. Mackinder said that because he felt Eurasia had the most resources to dominate. That’s about all you need to know.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! I’m off to bed now. I’m feeling pretty prepared to take my last AP ever!!!</p>
<p>^Good luck An0maly!</p>
<p>Am I doing something completely wrong or does much of the MC section seem like common sense? I don’t want to delude myself into underestimating this test.</p>
<p>That’s what I thought after taking the Barron Practice Exam 1 after like 2 months w/out touching the book. But I still needs to review models though. And remembering examples…
Thanks An0maly & TruffliePuff for your explanation. I got it now.</p>
<p>^^ yeah i wonder about this too </p>
<p>i noticed that REA’s practice exams are REALLY hard
princeton & kaplan’s in the middle
barron’s easy
what is the REAL difficulty of the exam?</p>
<p>Oh I just noticed I have an REA book. Going to take a test out of that now.</p>
<p>E: Got the first 5 questions right so far :v</p>
<p>LOL, I have the practice exam but never look at it. I am going to try it on the car ride.</p>
<p>Haha sucks for me I have to drive myself to the other high school in my town (there are two and I go to the other) because my school doesn’t offer Human Geography in any form because the school was just founded this year.</p>
<p>why did the US experience increased population growth in the 1990s even though it is in the last stage of the demographic transition model and in comparison to other highly developed countries</p>
<p>Immigration and refugees?</p>
<p>What’s the demographic transition model? What’s all of the info I need to know about it?</p>
<p>1: Preindustrial: high birth, high death
2: Transitional: high birth, lower death
3: Transitional: lower birth, low death
4: Industrial: low birth, low death</p>
<p>Population tends to follow a logistical curve (it starts out level, steeply rises, then levels out) as the phases progress.</p>
<p>mm yes immigration. makes sense now.</p>
<p>some models have 4 stages, some have 5. but 4 is the safe route</p>
<p>it shows how developed a country is
1-Preindustrial; High birth, high death; no growth
2-Transition; High birth, low death; high growth
3-Transition; Low birth, low death; medium growth
4-Industrial; Low birth, low death; no growth</p>
<p>Ya always use the 4-stage demographic transition model.</p>
<p>let’s quiz each other pleaseee</p>
<p>Sorry, I’m going to bed. Good luck everyone.</p>
<p>oh my gawd </3</p>
