Study Guides - Population Geography
Study Guide - Please Read! There is a study guide for Honors and one for all of the other classes.
Chapter Three: Earth’s Human Geography
Section One: Geography plays a key role in determining where people live. Physical factors such as landforms, climate, bodies of water, and natural resources are crucial in determining where populations settled. Demographers use population density, population distribution and other measurements to evaluate populations.
Section Two: The two main reasons world population increased dramatically over the last two hundred years are changes in medicine and health-care and increases in the amount of food people produced. Increases in world population, now over 7 billion people, pose challenges and problems especially where it is growing the fastest: the poor developing areas of the world. Demographers use terms such as birth rate, death rate, rate of natural increase, infant mortality rate, and life expectancy to understand growth in population.
Section Three: Migration affects worldwide population distribution; geographers study migration causes, history and modern trends. The push-pull theory explains why people migrate. Immigration to the U.S. is especially interesting to us. There are three basic classifications of people living in the united States: natural-born citizens, naturalized citizens, legal immigrants, and undocumented immigrants.
