Chapter Two Review

Front 1

Thomas Malthus' population Theory

Back 1

Population is growing faster than earth's food supply. The population is increasing geometrically while the food soupy is increasing arithmetically.

Hint 1

Not enough food

Front 2

Demographic transition model stage one

Back 2

The crude birth/death rate is high and has a fragile but stable population

Hint 2

Preindustrial pre-agricultural

Front 3

Demographic transition model stage two

Back 3

Lower death rates, the infant mortality rate falls, and the natural increase use very high.

Hint 3

Improved agriculture and medicine

Front 4

Demographic transition model stage three

Back 4

Indications of richer, developed countries with higher standards of living and education.

Hint 4

Attitude change

Front 5

Demographic transition model stage four

Back 5

Crude birth/death rates are low, the population is stable, and is aging

Hint 5

Highest developed countries

Front 6

Cause of overpopulation

Back 6

Reduced mortality rate, better medical facilities, Immigration

Hint 6

Living longer

Front 7

Effect of overpopulation

Back 7

Depletion of Natural Resources, Degradation of Environment, Conflicts and Wars

Front 8

Arithmetic population density

Back 8

total number of people divided by the total land area

Hint 8

Math

Front 9

Physiologic population density

Back 9

Number of people per unit area of arable land.

Hint 9

Farming

Front 10

Natural increase

Back 10

the difference between the number of live births and the number of deaths occurring in a year

Hint 10

Population

Front 11

Dependency ratio

Back 11

A measure showing the number of dependents (aged 0-14 and over the age of 65) to the total population (aged 15-64)

Front 12

Doubling time

Back 12

period of time required for a quantity to double in size or value

Front 13

Percentage of population living in cities

Back 13

53%

Front 14

Ravenstein's migration laws

Back 14

Most migrants move only a short distance.There is a process of absorption, whereby people immediately surrounding a rapidly growing town move into it and the gaps they leave are filled by migrants from more distant areas, and so on until the attractive force [pull factors] is spent.There is a process of dispersion, which is the inverse of absorption.Each migration flow produces a compensating counter-flow.Long-distance migrants go to one of the great centers of commerce and industry.Natives of towns are less migratory than those from rural areas.Females are more migratory than males.Economic factors are the main cause of migration.

Front 15

Neo-malthusians

Back 15

Believed that the transfer of medical technology leases to a rapid increase in population of poorer countries. The world's population is outstripping a wide variety of resources. Wars and civil violence will increase because of scarcity of food and other resources.

Front 16

Intercontinental migration

Back 16

migration flow involving movement across international borders

Front 17

International migration

Back 17

migration flow within a nation-state, such as ongoing westward and southward movements in the US

Front 18

Interregional migration

Back 18

migration flow within a certain country or state

Front 19

Interurban migration

Back 19

of, located in, or operating between two or more cities or towns.
