Section 1: Multiple Choice
Tips
• Read carefully!
• Eliminate as many answer choices as possible
• Let’s practice a couple…in a few minutes
Section 2: Free Response Questions
• You have 75 minutes to answer all 3 questions
• You should spend 25 minutes on each
• I highly suggest taking 5 minutes max and
creating an outline. Even just jotting down ideas.
• Read the question carefully before you answer.
Section 2: Free Response Questions
• You must write in complete sentences, but it
does not need to be a formal essay.
• If you are given three parts to a question
(A,B,C…) organize your answers in the same way
• You may NOT bullet your answers… even if they
ask to “list”.

Space: Distribution of Features
Spatial Distribution—The regular arrangement
of a phenomenon across Earth’s surface.
• Three features
▫ (1)Density
▫ (2)Concentration
▫ (3)Pattern
Diffusion
• The process by which a characteristic spreads
across space and over time
• Hearth = source area for innovations
• There are two main types of diffusion
– (1)Relocation
– (2)Expansion
The Cultural Landscape
• A unique combination of social
relationships and physical processes
• Each region = a distinctive landscape
• People = the most important agents of
change to Earth’s surface

Von Thunen: Agricultural Location
Theory
• 19th century- German
economist
Von Thünen Model
Fig. 10-13: Von Thünen’s model shows how distance from a city or market affects
the choice of agricultural activity in (a) a uniform landscape and (b) one
with a river.
Example of Von Thünen’s Model
• The example shows that a
farmer would make a profit
growing wheat on land located
less than 4 kilometers from the
market.
• Beyond 4 kilometers, wheat is
not profitable, because the cost
of transporting it exceeds the
gross profit.
• More distant farms are more
likely to select crops that can be
transported less expensively.
Application of Von Thünen’s Model
• Von Thünen based his general model of the
spatial arrangement of different crops on his
experiences as owner of a large estate in
northern Germany during the early nineteenth
century.
• He found that specific crops were grown in
different rings around the cities in the area.
• Von Thünen did not consider site or human
factors in his model, although he recognized
that the model could vary according to
topography and other distinctive physical
conditions.
• The model also failed to understand that social
customs and government policies influence the
attractiveness of plants and animals for a
commercial farmer.
• Although von Thünen developed the model for
a small region with a single market center, it
also applies to a national or global scale.
Green Revolution

maize crops

places
• Threshold = minimum number of people needed
• Range= maximum travel distance
• Spatial competition
Rank Size Rule
• nth largest city’s population size = 1/n the size of
the regions largest city popultion

Borchert Model of Urban Evolution
Studied US cities:
▫ Sail-Wagon Epoch (1790–1830),
▫ Iron Horse Epoch (1830–1870), characterized by
impact of steam engine technology, and
development of steamboats and regional railroad
networks.
▫ Steel Rail Epoch (1870–1920), dominated by the
development of long haul railroads and a national
railroad network.
▫ Auto-Air-Amenity Epoch (1920–1970), saw
growth in the gasoline combustion engine
▫ Satellite-Electronic-Jet Propulsion (1970-?), also
called the High-Technology Epoch
