"The Advanced Placement Human Geography course reflects the content of a typical college level survey introductory
course in human geography. Through the five goals of the course, students will refine their analytical and problem
solving skills using creative and critical thinking to develop abilities to:
• Use and think about maps and spatial data.
• Understand and interpret the implications of associations among phenomena in places.
• Recognize and interpret at different scales the relationships among patterns and processes.
• Define regions and evaluate the regionalization process.
• Characterize and analyze changing interconnections among places."
Geography
地理科学（geography）是关于地球及其特征、居民和现象的学问。它是研究地球表层各圈层相互作用关系，及其空间差异与变化过程的学科体系，主要包括自然地理学和人文地理学两大部分。地理科学是一门既有坚实的基本理论、应用理论的基础性学科，又是一门与生产实践进一步紧密联系的应用性学科。
