This AP Human Geography study guide covers Unit 1: Thinking Like a Geographer. It introduces the "why of where" and explores key concepts of spatial analysis: spatial thinking, absolute and relative location, distance and time-space compression, and density and distribution. The guide also covers map types (thematic maps like choropleth, proportional symbol, dot density, etc.), regionalization, and world regions/subregions. Finally, it provides practice questions and exam tips focusing on applying these concepts.
