How Will I Know I Learned This?
You will know you’ve learned this when you can identify various regions of the world.

# data[].attributes.body
The world can be divided into major regions based on various criteria, such as continents, cultural areas, or economic zones.

# data[].attributes.body
Continents are large landmasses separated by oceans with:

Distinct physical features, climates, and ecosystems

Diverse cultures, languages, and histories

Continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America.

# data[].attributes.body
Cultural regions are areas with shared cultural characteristics such as language, religion, or traditions.

Examples include the Arab World, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.

Cultural regions often transcend political boundaries and can overlap with other regions.

# data[].attributes.body
Economic regions are areas with similar economic characteristics or levels of development

Can be classified as developed, developing, or least developed countries

Examples include the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized nations and the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) emerging economies

Geographers analyze how natural resources like water, land, minerals, and even social resources like healthcare facilities are distributed across different geographic areas. Social impact: Examining how access to these resources impacts different social groups within a society, including considerations of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and gender. Environmental concerns: Studying how resource management practices and geographic factors contribute to environmental issues like pollution, climate change, and resource depletion. Education's role: Analyzing how education levels and access to information can influence people's understanding of resource management and sustainability practices.

Text-Dependent Questions

Directions: For the following questions, choose the best answer or respond in complete sentences.

1. PART A: Which of the following best describes the author’s main claim in the text?

A. Water scarcity is not something that humans have any control over, as it is

caused by natural events.

supplies if they reduce their pollution output.

C. Widespread water scarcity threatens the right that all humans should have to

access clean drinking water, as it is essential to live.

D. Water scarcity is an issue primarily caused by humans that needs to be

addressed by humans.

2. PART B: Which detail from the text best describes the answer to Part A?

A. “Droughts are a natural process that has occurred throughout history. The

effects of prolonged drought often depend on both severity and how people

C. “Chernobyl, Ukraine, the infamous site of a nuclear meltdown, still has

contaminated water because of that meltdown.” (Paragraph 8)

D. “Water is more important for survival than food, and global access to water is a

fundamental human issue.” (Paragraph 9)

3. How does physical water scarcity compare to economic water scarcity?

A. Physical water scarcity is caused when there is naturally a lack of water in an

area, while economic water scarcity is caused when humans alter a once

useable water source.

B. Physical water scarcity is caused solely by droughts, while economic water

scarcity is caused by humans’ contamination of water.

C. Physical water scarcity is caused by a natural lack of water in an area, while

economic water scarcity is caused by a region’s inability to afford water.

D. Physical water scarcity is caused by humans’ contamination of a water source,

while economic water scarcity is caused by the lack of natural water sources in

an area.

4. How does the introductory quote “Consider yourself lucky whenever you pour yourself a glass of water” (Paragraph 1) contribute to the text?

A. It persuades readers to feel guilty about their access to water.

B. It shows that most people take their drinking water for granted.

The Silk Road, an ancient network of trade routes across China, Central Asia, and the Mediterranean used between 50 B.C.E. and 250 C.E., is perhaps the most well-known early example of exchanging ideas, products, and customs. People, money, material goods, ideas, and even disease and devastation have traveled these silken strands in greater numbers and with greater speed than ever before in the present age.

Cultural Diffusion refers to the study of how norms, values, beliefs; and technologies spread across different geographic regions, often through migration, trade, communication, or conquest. In short, it's how cultures "diffuse" or spread across geographical spaces.

# data[].attributes.body
Cultural characteristics like language, religion, cuisine, traditions, and art forms significantly link, divide, and define regions by creating shared identities within a geographic area, potentially causing tension or conflict between different cultural groups, and ultimately shaping the unique character of a particular region. Essentially, a region can be identified by shared cultural practices, while differences between neighboring groups create distinct boundaries within a larger geographical area.

1) What is the difference between a state (country) and a nation?

2) Name two (2) nations that are not states (countries)

# data[].attributes.body
A State is a territory with its own institutions and populations.

# data[].attributes.body
A Sovereign State has its own institutions and populations with a permanent population, territory, and government. It must also have the right and capacity to make treaties and other agreements with other states. In other words, a Sovereign State has its laws, government, and territories; and the power to interact with other countries. Sovereign states are independent and have the right to make their own decisions.

Sovereignty in its simplest form means governmental power over people and land. Governments possess sovereignty. The United States has sovereignty, each state has sovereignty, and Indian tribes have sovereignty. The sovereignty of the United States comes from each state.

# data[].attributes.body
