What is urbanzation?
Urbanization is the process by which an increasing percentage of a population lives in cities, caused by rural-to-urban migration and natural population growth in urban areas.

What are some examples of sustainable practices that produce energy?
-Wind turbines
-Solar energy
-nuclear energy
-hydroelectric energy

What city in the United States has the largest public transportation system?
New York City has the largest and most used public transportation system in the US. It has over 7.5 million weekday trips.

Who is more likely to get slimed out by AP HUG p.3; Sam Solphour or James Pham
Trick question= both

Which is a more sustainable solution for urbanization: urban sprawl or urban growth boundaries? Explain why.
Urban growth boundaries are more sustainable because they limit outward city expansion, reduce habitat and farmland loss, and encourage more efficient land use within the city. Urban sprawl spreads development outward, increasing car use, energy consumption, and environmental degradation.
200
Why are renewable energy sources considered more sustainable than fossil fuels?
Renewable sources can be restored and replenished easily, and produce less gasses/pollution.
200
What term describes the environmental impact caused by dependence on fossil-fuel transportation systems?
Carbon emissions

Which type of farming is taking place in this image?
Terrace Farming

Which is more sustainable for cities: vertical expansion (building upward) or urban sprawl (building outward)? Explain why.
Vertical expansion is more sustainable because it uses less land and helps reduce the spread of cities into farmland and natural areas. It also makes it easier to provide services like transportation and utilities efficiently. Urban sprawl uses more land, increases driving, and leads to more pollution and habitat loss.

What are the benefits of walkable cities?
-reduces carbon emissions
-less contribution to climate change
-reduced traffic
-better population health

What sustainable agriculture practices help reduce soil degradation?
Sustainable agriculture practices like crop rotation, cover crops, drip irrigation, and reduced chemical use, reduce soil degradation .

Which teacher "forgot" to tell AP Hug p.3 (NOT p.6)that we needed to bring our student id's for the AP test; Captan or Wagner (said he posted on Schoology day of but did not in fact post it on schoology)
WAGNER

What are the two types of solar energy and how are they different? ; Passive, Monocrystalline, Active, Polycrystalline.
Passive solar energy uses suns heat without machines or electrical devices. Active solar energy uses technology and equipment, such as solar pannels, to convert into usable energy.
400
What geographic concept explains why transportation improvements can reduce the friction of distance?
Time-space compression
500
Which agricultural practice is more sustainable for long-term soil health: monocropping or crop rotation? Explain why.
Crop rotation is more sustainable for long-term soil health. It helps maintain soil nutrients by alternating crops that use and restore different nutrients, such as legumes adding nitrogen back into the soil. It also reduces pest and disease buildup, unlike monocropping, which depletes specific nutrients and increases reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides over time.
500
What is one sustainable solution to problems caused by rapid urbanization?
One sustainable solution is developing efficient public transportation to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution in cities.

How does using wind turbines to produce energy promote sustainability?
It produces clean, renewable energy. The windmill has a turbine that converts the wind power into electrical energy. No air pollution or emission of gases into the atmosphere.
