Introduction to Geography — Quiz

Question 2 • Geography

A city needs to build a new highway through a portion of its largest urban park. Why would the city government consult a human geographer to help address this issue?

Answer
A
A human geographer would have prior experience with investigating the flood risk of the area.
B
A human geographer would understand the relationship between people and the urban park.
C
A human geographer would understand the city’s languages and customs to interact with its residents.
D
A human geographer would rely on extensive knowledge of government structures and systems.

Explanation

Human geography studies how people interact with and shape the places where they live. A human geographer could help the city consider how building a highway through the park would affect residents’ use of the park and their connection to it. Flood risk is more directly studied by physical geographers, so choice A is less fitting.
