AP Human Geography
Unit 1 – Thinking Geographically
Topic 1.6
Why is geographic scale important when studying economic development patterns?
A larger geographic scale always reveals more accurate data about economic development patterns than a smaller one does.
Different patterns emerge at different scales, affecting interpretation and policy decisions.
Economic development can only be studied accurately at the global scale.
Scale doesn't matter; economic development is always consistent across all areas.
