Wealth/Per Capita GDP/Types of jobs (Industry, Service, or Agriculture)

Developed- over $25,000, economy's are service driven, Developing- $5,000-$25,000, industrializing but heavy emphasis on agricultural, Underdeveloped- under $5,000, not industrializing, low agricultural, dependent on transport of raw material

Trade and Transportation

Developed- trade a lot of manufacturing goods with other countries, Developing-trade raw material and agriculture goods international, Underdeveloped-little to no trade, Developed-good infrastructure (streets, roads, railroads, bridges, etc) and motorized, Developing-in-between lot and a little, Underdeveloped-no infrastructure and motorized vehicles

Technology & Communication

Developed- high speed internet and advanced technology, good communication available, Developing-limited access to internet, computers, technology , Underdeveloped-little to no access to internet and computers, no technology, poor communication

Pollution

Developed-laws, procedures, and protocol are placed, Developing-minimal addressing of these problems, Underdeveloped-no industry, less problems but also don't address the problems they have like sanitation

Standard of living/Medical/Education,

Developed-high living standard, more about there wants because they have their needs, 99%+ clean water, Developing-In-between high and low living standard, 70%-99% clean water, Underdeveloped-low living standard, not everything they need, less than 70% clean water

the age to which a person is expected to life, over 70 years-developed country, , less 70 years-underdeveloped country

Literacy rate

the percentage of people that can read and write, higher than 75%-developed country, lower than 75% - underdeveloped country

GDP per capita (Gross Domestic Profit)

a source of drinking water that is likely to be protected from outside contamination, 99%+ clean water-developed country, 70%-99%-developing country, 70%- clean water-underdeveloped country

Impacts of population growth

birth rates, death rates, migration, population growth prediction-growth rate=birth rate-death rate, birth rate higher than death rate-population grows, death rate higher than birth rate-population decreases, birth and death rate are equal-population will not change

Impacts role of agriculture & technology

humans controlling their food supple, Law of ecology(sanitation, medicine, more food) which caused better development in agriculture for a Industrial Revolution that increases the population, longer life, low mortality rate

Impacts urban population

more people in the world love in urban areas, mainly in Asia and Europe, housing shortages, pollution, and resources

Impacts of fertility rate

two-child average bit it will still take over 60 to 70 years to stabilize the growth rate in this century

Impacts of Industrialization in population growth

10-times more resources wealthy countries use compared to developing countries and double the resources than the world average. , depends on people's lifestyle

rapid growth

Christmas tree

slow growth

the box

negative growth

the cup

India population

1/2 billion people, woman are going from 6 to 3 children in the south (educated), parents live with son, two sons because their is a high infant death (causes husbands and his parents to want mother to have more children), arranged marriages, girls cost more money (weddings)

One China Policy (positive)

decrease in sulfur dioxide and water pollution, allowed more people to own land and forests, singleton daughters didn't have to compete with brothers and could challenge the standards of Chinese's woman, GDP growth, better nutrition, education, and longer life expectancies , only children would get more attention from parents and could be more intelligent

One China Policy (negative)

only children would feel very lonely and would affect their social skills (depression), large cost of the policy and emotional costs for woman, China's fertility rate was lower before the policy , too many elderly people compared to young children

One China Policy (effects)

reduced population, more males than females, agricultural assistance for families in the urban areas, fertility rate and birth rate lowered

Deforestation (regions of threat)

massive clearing of the Earth's forest , South America. Central Africa, Southeast Asia

Deforestation (causes/problem)

make money, paper & wood, growing food, room for more people in urban, climate change, greenhouse gases, 80% habitats destroyed, and animals going Ext-inked

Desertification

degradation of the grasslands, savannas and woodland to more desert-like conditions, human caused activities

Desertification (problem/solution)

turned deserts to farming land, chemicals and plowing , 110 countries affected , reducing food production, not enough water, planting trees, no plowing, vegetation fences, double food production

Droughts

a lack of precipitation over an extended period of time that results to a water imbalance

Droughts (impacts)

losing crops and damaged habitats, reduced income and increase in costs for food and water, reduced hydropower output with rising utility rates, increased rick of war and migration

Pollution (plastic)

Plastic materials was produced after WWII because it was cheap and it just kept increasing, lots of countries don't recycle or have landfills, affecting animals chances to live because of getting stuck in plastic or consuming to much plastic

Pollution (e-waste)

technology waste that gets riped up and used to recycle and sell, technology puts mercury toxic gad into the environment that can affect water and food quality, dangers to recycle e-waste

Increasing Extinction Rates

Rhino's are getting hunted by poachers so they can get the Rhino's horns to sell. All of Africa and tourism is getting affected. To reduce extinction of Rhino's, they are being airlifted by helicopters to safety.

Climate Change

Greenhouse gases, human activities are causing more natural disasters, not going to work (economy), water is damaged and all leaves to global warming. A solution was to sign the Paris of Cord to slow down but not stop (U.S backed out of the deal).
