Physical Map

Front

shows the physical landscape features of a place. They generally show things like mountains, rivers and lakes and water is always shown with blue. Usually shown with different colors and shades to show topography.

Back

LDC

Front

Less Developed Countries. Average a couple years of schooling; a 60% Literacy Rate; healthier populations; and a Life Expectancy in the 60s Regions: • Latin America • East Asia • Middle East • Southeast Asia • South Asia • Sub-Saharan Africa

Back

Census

Front

A complete enumeration of a population

Back

Demography

Front

the scientific study of population characteristics

Back

Contagious Diffusion

Front

Occurs when numerous places or people near the point of origin become adopters (or infected, in the case of a disease) Hinduism spreading throughout the Indian subcontinent

Back

Zero population growth (ZPG)

Front

A decline of the total fertility rate to the point where the natural increase rate equals zero.

Back

Cartography

Front

The science or practice of drawing maps.

Back

Spatial Distribution

Front

The physical location of geographic phenomena across space

Back

Formal Regions

Front

Have one or more common characteristics that distinguish them from the surrounding area. i.e. states, countries, cities, areas of specific towns/cities/countries (wealthy vs. poor, industrial vs. residential) MEASURABLE DATA

Back

Population Density

Front

A measurement of the number of people per given unit of land

Back

Physiological Population Density

Front

The number of people per unit of area of arable land, which is land suitable for agriculture

Back

Sequent Occupation

Front

The idea that successive societies leave their cultural imprint on a place and each contributing to the cummulative cultural landscape

Back

5 stages of Demographic Transition

Front

1. Total population is low but it is balanced due to high birth rates and high death rates. 2. Total population rises as death rates fall due to improvements in health care and sanitation. Birth rates remain high. 3. Total population is still rising rapidly. The gap between birth and death rates narrows due to the availability of contraception and fewer children being needed to work - due to the mechanisation of farming. The natural increase is high. 4. Total population is high, but it is balanced by a low birth rate and a low death rate. Birth control is widely available and there is a desire for smaller families. 5. Total population is high but going into decline due to an ageing population. There is a continued desire for smaller families, with people opting to have children later in life.

Back

Stable Population Level

Front

a population which has constant mortality and fertility rates, and no migration, therefore a fixed age distribution and constant growth rate.

Back

Demographic Transition

Front

the process of change in a society's population as a combination of medical advances and economic development, affecting a population's desire and ability to control its own birth and death rates

Back

Population Distribution

Front

Description of locations on Earth's surface where populations live

Back

Sustainability

Front

the level of development that can be maintained without depleting resources

Back

Economic or Resource Map

Front

shows the specific type of economic activity or natural resources present in an area through the use of different symbols or colors

Back

Industrial Revolution

Front

a series of improvements in industrial technology that transformed the process of manufacturing goods and drastically altered society

Back

Climate Map

Front

Shows information about the climate of an area; like the specific climatic zones based on the temperature, the amount of snow an area receives or average number of cloudy days. These maps normally use colors to show different climatic areas.

Back

Hierarchical diffusion

Front

Occurs when the diffusion innovation or concept spreads from a place or person of power or high susceptibility to another in a leveled pattern. Fashion, fads, trends, etc. Many people cutting their hair the way Taylor Swift did.

Back

Infant Mortality Rate

Front

The total number of deaths in a year among infants under one year old per 1000 live births in a society

Back

Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

Front

The average number of children a woman will have during her childbearing years.

Back

Scale

Front

A representation of a real-world phenomenon at a certail level of reduction or generalization. i.e on maps the ratio of ground distance to map distance

Back

Functional Regions

Front

Defined by a system of interactions. Organized around a specific function (transportation, import/export)

Back

Dr. John Snow

Front

(1813-1858) English physician who used hand-drawn data layering on maps of London to identify and treat a cholera epidemic

Back

MDC

Front

More Developed Countries. Average 10 years of schooling; a 98% Literacy Rate; sicker populations; and a Life Expectancy in the 70s. Regions: • North-America • Western Europe • Eastern Europe • Japan • South Pacific

Back

Political Map

Front

focuses solely on the state and national boundaries of a place. They also include the locations of cities - both large and small, depending on the detail of the map.

Back

Road Map

Front

A map that depicts roads, routes, highways, major and minor cities, as well as airports and points of interest

Back

Natural Increase Rate (NIR)

Front

The percentage growth of a population in a year, computed as the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate (NIR=CBR-CDR)

Back

Stimulus Diffusion

Front

Occurs when the innovative idea diffuses from its hearth outward, but the original idea is changed by the new adopters. Christianity and its many sects (Protestant, Baptist, Catholic etc) Different Menu items from McDonalds around the world.

Back

Crude Death Rate (CDR)

Front

The number of deaths in a year per 1,000 people alive in a society

Back

Carrying Capacity

Front

The number of living beings (people) that a specific area can support. i.e. SDS can only hold/accomodate so many people, it has a carrying capacity. Once reached changes must be made to space, resources, and accessibility

Back

Thomas Malthus

Front

(1766-1834) An English economist who argued that increases in population would outgrow increases in food production, which would lead to widespread famine and disease.

Back

Front

Shows different physical landscape features. They use contour lines instead of colors to show changes in the landscape
