Unit 2: Population- Migration and Dispersion

Question	Answer
Age Distribution	(Population Pyramid) Used to show development, significant events in countries, etc.
Carry capacity	The population level that can be supported, given the quantity of food, habitat, water
Cohort	Population of various age categories in an age-sex population pyramids. Used to show the stage of a country in the Demographic Transition Model
Demographic Equation	births-deaths+net migration
Demographic Momentum	The tendency for growing population to continue growing after a fertility decline because of young age distribution
Demographic Transition Model	Stage 1: Low Growth Stage 2: High Growth Stage 3: Moderate Growth Stage 4: Low Growth Stage 5: Zero/Negative Growth (not officially a stage)
Dependency Ratio	Number of people who are too young or too old to work compared to number or people who can work
Doubling Time	Number of years it takes to double a population
Ecumene	Proportion of Earth's surface occupied by permanent human settlement.
Infant Mortality Rate	Annual number of infant deaths compared to live births
J-Curve	In a population pyramid, it shows exponential growth.
Thomas Malthus	Geographer that first started worrying about overpopulation. People reproduce geometrically while food is produced arithmetically.
Natality (Crude Birth Rate)	Ratio of live births in an area to the population of that area
Overpopulation	Relationship between the number of people on Earth and the availability of resources
Population Distributions	Arrangement of a feature in space
Population Explosion	Sudden increase in population
Population Projection	Predicts the future population of an area or world
Rate of Natural Increase	Percentage by which a population grows in a year
Standard of Living	Refers to the quality and quantity of goods and services available to people and the way they are distributed within a population
Sustainability	Providing the best outcomes for human and natural environments both in the present and the future
Underpopulation	refers to the sharp decrease in a region's population
Zero Population Growth	Crude birth rate = crude death rate, thus natural increase is zero
Chain Migration	When one family member/group migrates to a country and other groups follow shortly after
Cyclic Movement	Trends in migration that have a clear cycle
Forced Migration	When people are removed from their counties and forced to live elsewhere because of war, natural disaster, government instability
Gravity Model	Predicts that the optimal location of a service is directly related to the number of people in the area and inversely related to the distance people must travel to access it
Internal Migration	Permanent movement within a country
Intervening Opportunity	Environmental or cultural feature that helps migration
Intercontinental Migration	Permanent movement from one county to a different country within the same continent.
Interregional Migration	Permanent movement from one region of a country to another region
Rural-Urban Migration	Permanent movement from rural area to city
Push-pull factors	Factors that induce people to leave or come to a location
Transhumance	Seasonal migration of livestock between mountains and lowland pasture areas
