| What is big in scales of analysis, and what is small | Small- global/ worldwide Big- County/ city |
| What is meant by scales of analysis? | The level at which data is displayed on a map. |
| What 4 main ways is it important to identify in the scale of analysis? | Global, regional, national, or local |
| -unified by one or more specific traits -economic, social, political, environmental | Formal region |
| - a computer system system for capturing, storing, checking, & displaying data related to positions on Earth's surface | geographic info system (GIS) |
| What can GIS be used for | -Analysis of crime data in order to create plans to reduce crime -Effects of pollution - Urban planning |
| Pros for mercator maps | -lat/long are at right angles, directions are accurate -good for navigation |
| Cons for mercator maps | Distorts area- distortion most notable near the poles |
| Pros for Robinson maps | -no major distortion- oval shaped feels more "globe-ish" -all places are slightly distorted -most widely used in education |
| Cons for Robinson maps | -inaccurate measurements -extreme distortion at the poles and compressed near the equator |
| the mathematical relationship between between the size of a map and the part of the world it shows | Map scale |
| What are the 3 types of map scale | Large, medium, small |
| What does a large map scale show? | LESS AREA would be shown in GREATER DETAIL (think zoom in)- local |
| What does a medium map scale show? | FEWER DETAILS than large scale and LARGER AREA- state |
| What does a small map scale show? | MORE AREA would be shown in LESS DETAIL (zoom out)- national/ global |
| An exact place on earth often given in terms of latitude and longitude | Absolute location |
| a description of how a place is related to other places | Relative location |
| provides satellite imagery and earth observation data of the earth's surface and its atmosphere | Satellite Data |
| What are the 4 geospatial technologies | Geo info systems satellite navigation systems remote sensing Online mappin & visualizations |
| What are some spatial patterns | -clustering -Dispersal/ distribution -patterns & spatial associations |
| The process geographers use to divide & categorize space into smaller areas of analysis | Regionalization |
| The use of the earth's land and natural resources in ways that ensure they will continue to be available in the future | Sustainability |
| What are the 3 pillars of sustainability | -environmental -social -economic |
| People's perceptions of places | Vernacular region |
| Examples of a vernacular region | -the south -y'all- worsh instead of wash -fotball instead of football |
| Impacts of an aging population economically | -the elderly pay less income -supported by a government sponsored retirement funds - as life expectancy increases so do healthcare costs -provide opportunities for employment in the elder care industry |
| Impacts of an aging population socially | -traditional families -living facilities for the elderly - Provide social support to families |
| Impacts of an aging population politically | -the most politically active group in many places - diff. perspectives on political issue: healthcare, retirement |
| What are the 3 types of population density? | Arithmetic Physiological Agriculture |
| How do you find Arithmetic density | total population --------------------- Land area (sq. mi) |
| How do you find Physiological density | Total pop. ------------------------ Arable land |
| How do you find Agricultural density | Farmers ------------------- Arable land |
| -flee their country and seek sanctuary in another country and apply for asylum -must demonstrate that their fear of persecution in their home country is well founded | Asylum seekers |
| The right to be recognized as a refugee and receive legal protection and material assistance | Apply for asylum |
| ANSWER QUESTION 1 ON 2.11 NOTES | |
| What will the changing of role in women globally do to the fertility rate? | Lower is because more women are getting jobs, and having a good education and having less, if not no kids |
| Government discourages families through propaganda, disincentives, and polices to have children | Anti- Natalist policies |
| What are the causes of aging populations | -by birthrate and death rate and life expectancy |
| What are the consequences of high fertility rates | health risks for children and their mothers, detracts from human capital investment, slows economic growth, and exacerbates environmental threats. |
| What are the consequences of low fertility rates | the population grows older and shrinks |
| What does high life expectancy cause? | increased the risk of disease, disability, dementia and advanced ageing prior to death |
| What does low life expectancy cause? | increase income per capita by in- creasing the productivity of available resources |
| What does high urban populations cause? | Poor air and water quality, insufficient water availability, waste-disposal problems, and high energy consumption |
| What does low urban populations cause? | poor nutrition, pollution-related health conditions and communicable diseases, poor sanitation and housing conditions, and related health conditions. |
| What is stage one of the demographic transition model | Birth and death rates are high, animal attacks, no growth, high diseases |
| What is stage 2 of the dtm | Population starts to rise, people stop dyeing, industrial revolution able to provide for themselves, technologies |
| What is stage 3 of the dtm | population levels off, birthrate is lower, not dyeing early, heart cancer, obesity |
| What is stage 4 of the dtm | Birth rates and death rates are low, stable population, health care systems |
| What is stage 5 of the dtm | infectious disease from globalization, death rate becomes higher than birthrates, pandemic that wipes out a lot of people, apocalyptic |
| What is a pro-natalist policy | encouraging women to have children |

| the number of migrants entering or leaving a given country during a given period of time, usually one calendar year | migration flows |
| Low arithmetic density | Many countries have high and low physiological density which is the number of people supported by a unit area of arable land |
| What is the Syrian Refugee crisis of 2011 | the Syrian civil war that began March 15, 2011. It created the largest refugee and displacement crisis of our time, affecting millions of people and spilling into surrounding countries. |
