Review Sheet for North America Chapter 3: Test 2

Please review your PowerPoint Lecture Notes and Wiley’s Chapter Outlines. If necessary, please print the outline for the PowerPoint Lecture for Chapter 3, and then review the Study Guide Pre-Test for Chapter 3 in order to get a feel for the type of questions that will come from your text. Also, review the outline for this chapter that you emailed me and study it. After you have done these things, please go over the following suggestions. Please take note of the fact that these suggestions should not be taken as the only questions or areas that will be found on the first test. As you know, all of the material in the text or lecture notes is fair game, but I am providing you with some guidelines for reviewing the material that we have covered in the second quarter of the semester.

Please review the following suggestions:

1. Review your PowerPoint lecture notes and those that you have made from my audio streaming comments in each PowerPoint slide.

2. Review the Activity Guide Assignment on Canada. Three or four questions on your second test will come from this exercise.

3. Study the different stages of economic development for the United States and know some examples of economic activity for each stage. What does the future hold for job seekers? Which jobs will be most in demand?

4. Study the different physiographic regions that were discussed in the PowerPoint Lecture and textbook, including the diagrams that I drew for each region.

5. Focus on the socioeconomic characteristics of Canada and the United States, specifically with ethnicity and language differences.

6. Focus on fossil fuel energy resources for North America and for those of the developing world.

7. Focus on the iron resources on North America and on the shipping industry throughout the Great Lakes. What industries depend on iron mining and iron and steel manufacturing?

8. Understand the components of the von Thunen model for agricultural location and how it relates to the United States patterns of agricultural location.

9. Study John Borchert’s five epochs of metropolitan evolution.

10. Study the eras of intraurban structural evolution.

11. Look over your map outline list and locate these Name Places on your Outline Map that I have provided you online because there will be about five places that you will have to identify.

12. Finally, review all Italicized or bold words in your text.

Study Hard and Good Luck!
