Document Summary
He assumed an ideal case of accumulated talus which is not subjected to weathering and has the same volume as parent rock: the scree provides protection to the base of the rock face from weathering. The talus continues to grow and finally, it completely buries the free face (fig). The retreating face above leaves behind protrusion under the scree: the surface of the scree which accumulates at a constant angle is termed as the constant slope (wood, 1942), beneath the scree will lie buried the convex slope. While this is an ideal case but in nature, such a process would be highly complex as there are various factors that affect the evolution of slopes. In nature, the volume of the scree will never be the same as the parent rock rather the volume would be more than parent rock because of the presence of interstitial space.

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.)
| Task Verb | Definition | Expectation |
| Identify | To state a clear, concise, specific answer. | Often, a single, well-written sentence is sufficient, but you can add clarifying details. However, do not contradict or add confusion to your original answer. |
| Describe | To state a clear, concise, specific answer. | Note the attributes or characteristics of a place, idea, or person. Include a concrete example in a description. |
| Explain | To give an account or add details as to why or how processes or patterns occurred. | Offer reasons, evidence, or examples to make an idea plainly understood, or state how a process occurs. |
1. What is Brandt's Line? What does it represent?
______________________________________________________________________________________________
2. DESCRIBE one conclusion that you can draw about the development of countries above and below Brandt's line.

3. a. Referring to your map, DESCRIBE the general level of development of Eastern Europe and note any exceptions.
b. DESCRIBE happened in the 1990 s which may have led to a decline in the development level of Eastern European countries from what it was when Brandt's Line was conceptualized (see Rubenstein's description of Russian human development in Ch. 9 pages 283 and read Ch. 7 pages 231-232 on the destruction of Yugoslavia)?
______________________________________________________________________________________________
For questions #4-5 refer to Ch. 9 pages in Rubenstein to help answer these questions
4. a. Referring to your map, IDENTIFY what countries located in East Asia and below the original Brandt's line have achieved a "very high human development" level?
b. IDENTIFY what group of countries these countries are a part of (the other two listed are too small to color code on this map).
c. EXPLAIN how this group of countries achieved this level of development.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
5. a. Identity what countries in the Middle East enjoy a higher level of human development than others in this region.
b. EXPLAIN this difference in development within that region. (see Rubenstein (286)?
