Q

Physiological population density

A

divides the amount people by square kilometers of land suited for agriculture. Determines the pressure that will be put on the land to produce food.
ex. Egypt is mostly desert which puts lots of pressure on the arable land causing the country to have a high physiological density.

Q

Population Pyramid

A

a way to analyze population that represents age and sex composition. The shape differs depending on the distribution of males and females at each age level.
ex: A population pyramid from Afghanistan starts out wide at the bottom to represent the age group of 0-5 and the pyramid gets narrower as the age gets higher.

Q

Exponential growth vs. linear growth( geometric rate vs arithmetic rate)

Study These Flashcards
A

Malthus used this to support his theory. Population grows at a geometric rate while food supplies grows at a arithmetic rate.

25
Neo-Malthusians
People that believe over population will lead to resource depletion or environmental degradation to a degree that is not sustainable. Created programs around the world that limit population by birth control and family planning.
26
Life expectancy
27
Demographic transition Model
Helps explain the rising and falling of a country's natural increase rate over time - 5 stages - includes death rate birth rate Natural decrease, natural increase, total population
28
stage 1 of demograohic transition model
High CBR high CDR Low
29
stages 2
High CBR, dropping morderate CDR, moderate NIR (high-moderate= significant growth)
30
stage 3
dropping moderate CBR, Low CDR, moderate NIR - birth rates start declining rapidly population still growing US hit stage in early 20th century.
31
stage 4
low CBR , Low CDR low/zero NIR (low-low/no growth) - maybe hit zero population growth -TFR around 2.1 leads to no population change - most increases in population come from immigration.
32
Stage 5
very low Cbr low cdr negative NIR (very low-low =negative growth aka shrinking population -countries with good health care china one child policy
33
Neolithic revolution
Larger and more stable food sources so more people survived.
34
Population explosion
When more resources became available to more people the population exploded in 1750-1800
35
AIDS
A disease that began in central Africa during late 20th century. An example of how globalization created risk for diseases.
36
Pandemic
The fear that spread across the world of a large spread of a disease
37
Restrictive population policies
Policies governments have put in place to influence the growth of their population
38
Spatial interaction
39
China's population policies
The
40
circulation
The process of people moving within a small space. For example: home to work school to home
41
Spatial interaction
A broad term for the movement of peoples ideas, and commodities within and between areas ex: transportation of manufactured goods between areas
42
The demographic equation
Summarizes the change over time in an area by combining natural change with net migration
43
international migration
movement of people between countries
44
Step migration
The different steps of a person's movement over time ex: a family moving towns, then later to a city
45
Intervening opportunity
The motivation between a person's movement to another place.
46
gravity model
the inverse relationship between the volume of migration and between source and destination ex: volume in which goods/people flow between two places.
47
critical distance
the distance beyond which cost , effort and means strongly influence a person's willingness to travel.
47
push factor
encourages people to move from the region ex: war
48
pull factor
attracts people to a region ex: booming job market
49
disease
avoiding disease has influenced migration choices.
49
intervening obstacles
environmental factors that disrupt or slow or halt migration
50
Interregional migration
a type of internal migration that occurs between regions ex: rural to urban areas
51
intraregional
a type of internal migration that occurs within one region
52
forced migration
involuntary international migration , migrant does not choose whether to move or not
53
voluntary migration
international migration migrant chooses to move
54
out migration
places that have higher emigrates than immigrates ex: asia , latin america, and africa
55
in-migration
more people immigrate to a place than emigrate out of a place. ex: north america, europe, oceania
