Flashcards for vocabulary and questions from the "Wozepardy" game.

QuestionAnswer
Process of change from stages; example: Countries in sub-Saharan Africa are in stage 2 while the US and most of Western Europe is in stage 4. Demographic Transition

Occurs when the number of people in an area exceeds the capacity of the environment to support life at a decent standard of living Overpopulation
Portion of the Earth's surface occupied by a permanent human settlement; example: the city of Miami Ecumene
Disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects a very high part of the population; example: The Black Plague Pandemic
Distinctive causes of death in each stage of the demographic transition; example: During the cholera outbreak, the ___________ ___________ was due to sewage water contamination. Epidemiologic Transition
Decline of a total fertility rate to the point where the natural increase rate equals zero Zero Population Growth (ZPG)
Total number of deaths yearly among infants under 1 year old for every 1,00 live births in a society Infant Mortality Rate (IMR)
Medical science concerned with incidence, distribution, and control of prevalent diseases in a population at a certain time and those that are produced by special causes not normally present in the area; example: study of Black Plague Epidemiology
Time when humans first domesticated plants and animals and no longer completely depended on hunting and gathering Agricultural Revolution
A bar graph representing the distribution of population by age and sex; example: The shape of the ______________ ______________ is mostly dependent on the CBR. Population Pyramid
The number of people under 15 and over 64 compared to the number of people supporting themselves by working Dependency Ratio
Complete enumeration of a population; example: Every decade, the US takes a ___________, or counts the population. Census
Medical technology invented in Europe and North America that diffused to Latin America, Asia, and Africa and helped to eliminate traditional causes of death and enabled longer and healthier lives Medical Revolution
Ratio of farmers to the amount of fertile (arable) land Agricultural Density
Number of people per unit of arable land Physiological Density
Total number of deaths in a year for every 1,000 people alive in the society Crude Death Rate (CDR)
