AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY

the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area

a feature on Earth's surface that is part of the terrain

any significant accumulation of water on the surface of Earth or another planet

the natural arrangement and apportionment of the various forms of animals and plants in the different regions and localities of the earth

the population density measured as the number of people per unit area of land

the number of people per unit area of arable land

total number of farmers per unit of arable land

a species' average population size in a particular habitat

represents the breakdown of the population by gender and age at a given point in time

relating to the structure of populations

the number of live births occurring in a population

the ratio of the number of deaths in the year to the average total population of the year

the ratio between the number of live-born births in the year and the average total population of that year

indicates the number of deaths occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear

the age a person can expect to live based on the statistical average for an area

relates the number of children (0-14. years old) and older persons (65 years or over) to the working-age population (15-64 years old)

the difference between the number of live births and the number of deaths occurring in a year, divided by the mid-year population of that year, multiplied by a factor (usually 1,000)

the amount of time it takes for the population of a region to double

a low population growth rate due to a high birth rate and a high death rate

a rapid decrease in a country's death rate while the birth rate remains high

death rates are low and birth rates decrease, usually as a result of improved economic conditions, an increase in women's status and education, and access to contraception

birth rates and death rates are both low, stabilizing total population growth

a country experiences loss to the overall population as the death rate becomes higher than the birth rate

The theory that mass starvation is inevitable because food supplies grow at the same rate while population grows exponentially, leading to the population being much higher than the food supply can handle

a famous agricultural geographer who's theory is based on the premise that population growth is a positive force in agricultural innovation, that it drives technology forward

an attitude or policy that encourages childbearing

government policies that discourage couples from having children

birth control by the use of devices or drugs or surgery

Most migrants move only a short distance

the movement of people from one place in the world to another

something that encourages an individual to migrate away from a certain place

positive factors that attract people to new areas from other areas

a feature that causes a migrant to choose a destination other than his original one

n environmental or cultural feature that hinders migration

a general term that refers to the movements of refugees and internally displaced people as well as people displaced by natural or environmental disasters, chemical or nuclear disasters, famine, or development projects

people trafficking and work situations where individuals become entrapped

someone who is forced to leave their home but who remains within their country's borders

people who must leave their home area for their own safety or survival

those who leave the sovereign territory of one country in order to achieve refugee status in another, based upon claims of danger because of race, religion, nationality, or other pertinent identifiers

occurs when someone chooses to leave home

a process of movement and settlement across international borders in which individuals maintain or build multiple networks of connection to their country of origin while at the same time settling in a new country

a seasonal movement of livestock between fixed summer and winter pastures

the movement of people from one defined area to another within a country

migration of people to a specific location because relatives or members of the same nationality previously migrated there

gradual migration, from farm to village to town to big city

foreign national who is permitted to live and work temporarily in a host country

people choose to move from a less populated area to more densely populated areas which often present more work opportunities, better pay, or a better quality of life

Uses symbols of different sizes to indicate different amounts of something

Uses lines that connect points of equal value to depict variations in the data across space

Sizes of countries are shown according to some specific statistic

a computer program that stores geographic data and produces maps to show those data

system of satellites that provide geo-spatial positioning e.g. GPS

The acquisition of data about Earth's surface from a satellite orbiting the planet or other long-distance methods.

A method where you observe people in 'real' locations and situations, such as workplaces, homes, etc.

articles published by news papers or magazines

People travelled to distant places and took stock of and account of what they saw there. This was a way of bringing back stories, ideas and traditions of other distant places. Also helped connect europe to the "other". Examples Cadamosto, Bernal Diaz, Montaigne.
