Question
Answer
population geography; the study of the spatial and ecological aspects of population including: distribution, density, fertility, gender, health age, morality, migration   geodemography  
🗑
the statistical study of population size, composition, distribution, and change   demography  
🗑
population density; the number of people in an area of land usually expressed as people per square mile or kilometer   arithmetic density  
🗑
the density beyond which people cease to be nutritionally self sufficient using their particular adaptive strategy; people per arable square mile   physiological density  
🗑
land that can be used for agriculture   arable land  
🗑
annual number of births per 1000 people   birth rate  
🗑
annual number of deaths per 1000 people   death rate  
🗑
population increases due to births in the country, not form immigration   rate of natural increase  
🗑
the rule of 72; take countrys rate of annual increase, expressed as a percent, and divide it into 72   population doubling time  
🗑
TFR; the number of children the aveage woman will bear during her reproductive lifetime (15- 44 years); less than 2.1 = decline of population   total fertility rate  
🗑
the amount of time it takes for a population to completely replace itself   replacement rate  
🗑
all industrialized, technologically advanced countries have achieved low fertility rates and stabilized or declining populations, having pass through demographic transitions   demographic transitions  
🗑
stabilized population; high birth and death rates   stage one of demographic transition  
🗑
population explosion; high birth rate, decreasing death rate   stage two  
🗑
decreasing growth, rapidly decreasing birth rate   stage three  
🗑
low birth and death rates, low grow of population   stage four  
🗑
the rapid, accelerating increase in world population since about 1650 and especially since 1900.   population explosion  
🗑
a TFR of 2.1 is needed to produce an evenly stabilized population, one that does not increase or decrease   zero population growth  
🗑
a graph used to show the age and sex composition of a population; used to compare age characteristics   population pyramid  
🗑
number of dependents:number of working age population; dependent = someone who is not working, under 15 or retired   dependency ratio  
🗑
a change in the pattern of disease in a country away from infectious diseases towards degenerative diseases; wealthy v not wealthy; diseases that can be prevented - smoking ->cancer; 1st and 3rd world countries   epidemiological transition  
🗑

🗑
movement of people with livestock seasonally   transhumance  
🗑
the cultivation of domesticated crops and the raising of domesticated animals   agriculture  
🗑
plant: deliberately plated, protected, cared for, and used by humans; animal: depends on people for food and shelter and that differs from wild species in appearance and behavior as a result of controlled breeding and frequent contact with humans   domestication  
🗑
less expensive, placing seeds directly into soil   seed propagation  
🗑
make copies of plant with similar genetic composition by layering or prerooting   vegetative propagation  
🗑
