For example, air on a part of the Earth's surface warmed by strong sunlight will be heated by contact with the ground and will expand and flow upward, creating a region of low pressure below it; cooler surrounding air will then flow in to this low pressure region. The air thus circulates by convection, creating winds.  \n􀁸 Plate tectonics – the study of the structure of the Earth's crust and mantle with reference to the theory that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large rigid blocks (plates) that are floating on semi-fluid rock and are thus able to interact with each other at their boundaries, and to the associated theories of continental drift and seafloor spreading  \nUnit 2: Celebrate Freedom Week  \n􀁸 Power – possession of control, authority, or influence over others  \n􀁸 Conflict – a struggle for power  \n􀁸 Geographic factors – factors that influence the settlement and development of a place. Geographic factors include the human and physical characteristics of a place.  \n􀁸 Physical characteristics – include landforms, soils, hydrology, bodies and sources of water, vegetation, climate and weather patterns, and animal life  \n􀁸 Human characteristics – include language, religion, political systems, economic systems, population distribution, and quality of life  \nUnit 3: Human Geography  \n􀁸 Region – part of the Earth’s surface that is alike or connected in some way  \n􀁸 Human geography – a branch of geography that focuses on the study of patterns and processes that shape human interaction with the environment  \n􀁸 Push/pull factors – the push factor involves a force which acts to drive people away from a place, and the pull factor is what draws them to a new location  \n􀁸 Globalization – describes an ongoing process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a globe-spanning network of communication and trade  \nUnit 4: United States and Canada  \n􀁸 Migration – movement from one place to another.  \n􀁸 Push/pull factors – The push factor involves a force which acts to drive people away from a place, and the pull factor is what draws them to a new location.  \n􀁸 Natural hazard – process or event in the physical environment that is not caused by humans but has consequences that can be harmful.  \n􀁸 Capitalism – an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, especially as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth; also referred to as free enterprise system or free market system.  \n􀁸 Market economy – an economy in which most goods and services are produced and distributed through free markets  \n􀁸 Gulf Stream –a warm ocean current that flows from the Gulf of Mexico northward through the Atlantic Ocean  \n􀁸 North Atlantic Drift –(also known as the North Atlantic Current) part of a clockwise-setting ocean-current system in the North Atlantic Ocean, extending from southeast of the Grand Bank, off Newfoundland, Canada, to the Norwegian Sea, off northwestern Europe. It constitutes the northeastward extension of the Gulf Stream; the latter issues from the Gulf of Mexico and gradually emerges as the North Atlantic Current in mid-ocean. The warm wind coming off of this water helps create a temperate climate along the eastern coast of North America and the western part of Europe.  \nUnit 5: Latin America  \n􀁸 Physical geography – the study of the natural features of the earth’s surface, especially in its current aspects, including land formation, climate, currents, and distributio","cbCaieQg32oiZRC2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieQg32oiZRC2","pdf",318293,"English","# Unit 1: Physical Geography\n## Geography and interaction concepts\n## Convection and plate tectonics\n# Unit 2: Celebrate Freedom Week\n## Power and conflict\n## Geographic, physical, and human characteristics\n# Unit 3: Human Geography\n## Regions and human geography\n## Push/pull factors and globalization\n# Unit 4: United States and Canada\n## Migration and geographic factors\n## Natural hazards and economic systems\n# Unit 5: Latin America\n## Physical geography and economic development\n## NAFTA and vertical climate\n## Humboldt Current\n# Unit 6: Europe\n## Globalization and supranationalism\n## Enclave and exclave\n## North Atlantic Drift","[{\"question\":\"What does the document cover in each unit?\",\"answer\":\"Each unit lists instructional vocabulary terms with plain-language definitions and, for some items, brief examples or extended descriptions.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the document define human-environment interaction and convection?\",\"answer\":\"Human-environment interaction is described as humans depending on, modifying, and adapting to the environment.
