environmental possibilism

idea that environment does have limits, but people can overcome them

enviornmental determinism

outaged idea that environment sets possibilities for people

large scale

large amount of detail and small geographic area

small scale

less detail over a large geographic area

region

perceptual (vernacular) region

no perfect defining boundaries, all based on beliefs

arithmetic density

65+/15-64 × 100

what does cbr stand for

crude birth rate

crude birth rate

live births per 1000 people

what does cdr stand for

crude death rate

crude death rate

number of deaths per 1000 people

what does tfr stand for

total fertility rate (avg # children a woman will have)

what does imr stand for

infant mortality rate

infant mortality rate

total # deaths of children under 1 year old per 1000 births

what does rni stand for

government policies that promote birth rates

anti-natalist policies

government policies that decline birth rates

stage one of demographic transition model

high cbr and cdr, they both cancel out

stage 2 of demographic transition model

high cbr, lowering cdr due to advancements

stage 3 of demographic transition model

cbr/cdr both decrease, nir becomes moderate

stage 4 of demographic transition model

low cdr/cbr, low or flat nir

stage 5 of demographic transition model

negative nir, cbr is below cdr

stage 1 of epidemiological transition model

pestilence, famine, death

epidemic

disease spreading through region or community

pandemic

disease across multiple regions/countries

endemic

a disease stays in an area

stage 2 of epidemiological transition model

less deaths and pandemics; improved standards of life

stage 3 of epidemiological transition model

degenerative diseases (ex. cancer, human made diseases)

stage 4 of epidemiological transition model

fighting degenerative diseases, improved diet/lifestyle

stage 5 of epidemiological transition model

reemergence of infectious disease

what is this

malthusian theory

malthusian theory

we will outgrow our food sources, as population grows exponentially and food grows linearly

why is malthusian theory wrong

population growth isn’t exponential and doesn’t account for advances in agriculture

neo-malthusians

believes that earth’s resources will run out eventually

demonstrates migration patterns

pull factor

a factor that makes people want to move to a place

push factor

negative situations that force people to move

emigration
