Introduction: Microclimate is the difference in climate that occurs on a very small scale. Microclimate can be created because of altitude, aspect, vegetation, color of the ground, and boulders and burrows. Aspect is created in the presence of topographic features like hills, mountains, and valleys. In the Northern Hemisphere, the north-facing slopes are cooler because they receive less sun than the south-facing slopes. Since they receive less sun, they are also moister due to decreased…
other continents in terms of population density. The reason I added this is to show the reader of my assignment a better understanding of population density around the world. From the map you can see that not all the continents have the same population density. For instance, Antarctica has a population density of 0.000079! That is less than one person per square kilometer and Antarctica is an whole continent! The reason that none of the continents have the same population is because of the…
nonliving and physical elements like rain, wind, soil or pollutions. Biotic are living components that include predation, parasites, and competition. Competition is an interaction between organisms that compete for resources and it can lower the population of one organism because the other one is better fit for the environment. Furthermore, the purpose of this laboratory exercise is to conduct an experiment as to why the two species of…
ow do Natural and Human Characteristics Contribute to Canada’s Population Distribution and Density? Natural and human characteristics contribute to Canada’s population distribution and density by influencing the decisions Canadians make on where to live. The climate, inhabitants, and availability of resources are key factors one must take into account before coming to the conclusion of where one wants to live. When one makes the decision on where to live, especially newcomers to Canada, it…
Child Mortality and Population Growth The theory is that population growth has a positive relationship with child mortality. In order to know if the theory is correct, one has to define all the parts of the theory, the concepts, and the indicators. One needs to make sure that the theory and concept are testable, logically sound, communicable, parsimonious, and general. The theory I have presented may be all these things except one; it is not very simple. Theories are created to describe, explain…
2014, the United Nation’s reported that around 54% of the global population live in an urban area. In America, the urban population is over 80% of the total population, and is growing at the rate of 1% per year, which equates to over 3 million new urban Americans annually. This large population growth is putting a major strain on large cities due to the lack of adequate housing for all of the new residents. The traditional high-density residential buildings cities once depended on to house their…
Who calls the city home? For seventy percent of the american population the city is considered home. However, for 19.3 percent of americans rural areas are considered home. The debate between the benefits of living in the city versus rural areas can sway in any direction. Interestingly, the population living in cities only inhabit 3.5 percent of the land mass. Given the higher population densities in the city, rural areas differ dramatically. A distinct can be perceived between those who live…
largest population in the province. The Greater Vancouver (the Metropolitan Vancouver) including Vancouver has almost 2.5 million people, and it is the third largest metropolitan area in Canada. With the population density of 5,400 people per square kilometer, it is the most densely populated city. Therefore, it is possible to say that the economic, social and other opportunities the city provides have attracted a large population to the city. Although the city has a high population density,…
4.1.3 Urbanization and population size Urbanization and population size are closely linked to the land economic density and they are the important factors to increase the economic density. With the accelerated development of the urbanization, more and more rural population swarms into city, which will ask for more housing and a good living environment quality objectively, so that the building area is expanding gradually in space. In addition, in the process of urbanization, with the production…
