Flashcards for vocabulary and questions from the "Wozepardy" game.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Average number of years an individual is expected to live based on social, economic, and medical conditions; example: The __________ ___________ in China is 73 years, while the _____________ ___________ in Nigeria is 53 years. | Life Expectancy |
| 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) |
| Percentage growth of a population in 1 year; calculated as the CBR-CDR | Natural Increase Rate (NIR) |
| Total number of live births in a year for every 1,000 people alive in society | Crude Birth Rate (CBR) |
| Science of population characteristics; example: The _______________ of Everglades is 31% Hispanic, 33% White, 25% Black, and 5% Asian. | Demography |
| Number of years needed to double a population | Doubling Time |
| Average number of children a woman will have throughout her childbearing years; this statistic is normally calculated from roughly ages 15 through 49. | Total Fertility Rate (TFR) |
| Number of males per 100 females in the population; example: 97:100 in North America means there are 97 men for every 100 women | Sex Ratio |

| What is the most populous country in Southeast Asia? | Indonesia |
| What does it mean if the physiological density is larger than the agricultural density? | Little arable land |
| What is the most populous country in the world? | China |
| The CDR is highest in which of the four demographic transition stages? | Stage 1 |
| In what two stages is the growth rate low? | Stages 1 and 4 |
| How is Japan reducing their CBR? | Japan is encouraging the elderly and women to work |
| What rate impacts the shape of a population pyramid? | Crude Birth Rate (CBR) |
| During what stage is population growth the most rapid? | Stage 2 |
| If two countries have the same arithmetic density, they have the same what? | Similar ratio of people per area of land |
| Which country has the higher NIR? Country A: CBR of 40 and CDR of 15 or Country B: CBR of 20 and CDR of 9 | Country A |
| During what stage does a steep decrease in CDR occur? | Stage 2 |
| How did the Industrial Revolution affect the world? | Improvement of technology |
| During what stage would a CBR of 10:1,000 be most likely to occur? | Stage 4 |
| What measure to geographers use to study fertility? | Crude Birth Rate |
| The region of sub-Saharan Africa and other LDCs would be expected to have a low: | Life Expectancy |
| What is the natural increase rate of the world? | 1.2% |
| If a country's CBR is 40 and its CDR is 15, it is most likely in: | Stage 2 |
