AP Human Geography HDI Mapping Analysis

Directions: Draw the Brandt Line on your copy of the shared HDI Map. Then, using the map, the HDI PDF, and the attached sources, answer the following questions in explicit detail.

Your answers should be in the COMPLETE ANSWER form. Each written answer should: 1) incorporate the prompt into the answer, 2) use full sentences, 3) answer all parts of each question, 4) use APHG vocabulary and content within your answers. For this exercise, consider "Latin America" to be a single region and "Sub-Saharan Africa" to be a single region (in other words, it is not necessary to divide these areas into subregions for analysis purposes.)
