Unit 2 Vocab Terms
AP Human Geography (12 Subsections)
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Ecumene | Inhabited Land/Permanent Human Settlement |
| Two types of influences that can persuade someone to live in that area | Physical and Human Influences |
| Physical Influences | Climate, latitude, landforms, and bodies of water |
| Human Influences | Economy, culture, history, and politics |
| Density | Number of people in a space |
| Distribution | Spatial spread of people in a space |
| Arable Land | Land capable for farming |
| 3 Types of density | Arithmetic, Physiological, and Agricultural |
| Arithmetic Density | Number of people per unit of land |
| Physiological Density | Number of people per unit of arable land |
| Agricultural Density | Number of farmers per unit of arable land |
| Arithmetic Density Equation | Total population/Total land area |
| Physiological Density Equation | Total population/Arable land area |
| Agricultural Density Equation | Farmers/Arable land |
| Demography | Study of populations |
| LDC | Lesser Developed Countries |
| MDC | More Developed Countries |
| Population concentrates near.. | Bodies of water and low-lying fertile land with temperate climate |
| Demographic Transition Model (DTM) | Model that displays birth rates, death rates, natural Increase, and total population levels of a country. |
| How many stages of DTM? | 4 official stages, can be 5 stages. |
| 4 Population Clusters (2/3rds of the world live there) | South Asia, East Asia, Europe, and Southeast Asia |
| South Asia | India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka (more rural) |
| East Asia | China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan (more urban) |
| Southeast Asia | Islands of Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines |
| Europe | 48 countries; 75% of the population is urbanized |
| Europe's Problem? | Not enough food produced for European population |
| Overpopulation | Increase in population related to the availability of resources |
| Demography Impacts | Political, Social, and Economic |
| Carrying Capacity | Relationship between a population size and the amount of resources. |
| Below Carrying Capacity | Population<Resources |
| At Carrying Capacity | Population=Resources |
| Above Carrying Capacity | Population>Resources (Overpopulation |
| What can change Carrying Capacity? | Human actions (changes in farming techniques and land people are living on, etc) |
| Age Structure | The proportion of the total population in each age group |
| Sex Ratios | Number of males per 100 females in a population |
| Sex Ratio Formula | Sex Ratio = Number of male births/Number of female births = result (times by 100) |
| Standard Biological Level Sex Ratio | 105:100 |
| Fertility | How many babies are born |
| Mortality | How many people die |
| Crude Birth Rate (CBR) | Total number of live births in an area for every 1000 people alive (High CBR means larger population of young people, low CBR means larger population of old people) |
| Total Fertility Rate (TFR) | The average number of children a woman will have in her childbearing years |
| Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) | Refers to how many babies under one year of age die compared to live births. |
| Crude Death Rate (CDR) | The total number of deaths in one year per 1,000 people. |
| Natural Increase Rate (NIR) | CBR - CDR, expressed as a percentage. This value represents the estimated rate of population growth (or decline) without regard for migration. |
| Population Pyramids | Breaks down populations into gender and age demographics |
| Doubling Time | The number of years needed to double a population |
| Natalist | People in support of more births |
| Antinatalism | People discouraging more births (scared of overpopulation) |
| Stage 1 in DTM | Low CBR growth and high CDR due to lack of development, low NIR |
| Stage 2 in DTM | High CBR growth, falling CDR due to a little increase in healthcare, NIR is very high. |
| Stage 3 in DTM | Moderate CBR growth (it's leveling out), falling CDR due to a more increase in healthcare, moderate NIR |
| Stage 4 in DTM | Low CBR growth and low CDR since higher income = better health, near or below 0 NIR |
| Stage 5 in DTM | Negative CBR growth and rising CDR due to increased urbanization and resistant bacteria, negative NIR |
| Epidemiological Transition Model (ETM) | ETM describes the causes of death in each stage of the DTM. ETM focuses on why death rates are high or low. |
| Endemic | Disease that stays local |
| Epidemic | Disease that spreads through region |
| Pandemic | Disease that spreads across regions |
| Emigration | Migration from a place |
| Immigration | Migration to a place |
| Net Migration | Difference between emigration and immigration. Net in-migration if more immigrants, net out-migration if more emigrants. |
| Intervening Obstacles | negative circumstances or features that hinder migration |
| Intervening Opportunities | positive circumstances or features that hinder migration |
| Chain migration | migration of people to a specific place because relatives or members of the same nationality settled there. |
| Interregional Migration | Movement of one region to the next region |
| Intraregional Migration | Movement within a region |
| Transnational Migration | Migrants leave their country of origin and enter another country. |
| Transhumance Migration | Migration where livestock are led to highlands areas in Summer months and lowland areas in Winter months. |
| Internal Migration | Permanent move within a country |
| Chain Migration | Migrations where there is some type of relationship with a previous migrant. |
| Step Migration | Migrations where there is a constant moving of places with multiple starts and stops. |
| Urban Sprawl | Unrestricted growth and expansion of urban or suburban area into the surrounding countryside |
| Primary Sector | Jobs and activities that involve extracting natural resources from Earth |
| Secondary Sector | Jobs and activities that take raw resources to produce or manufacture products of greater value |
| Subsistence Agriculture | Agricultural Production that occurs with the intent to provide for the farmer's family/community (Crops are for consumption, not sale) |
| Tertiary Sector | Jobs and activities that provide a service for other individuals |
| Brain Drain | When skilled labor leaves the geographic area in favor of another area that offers more opportunities. |
| Acculturation | When a culture adopts different cultural traits of another culture (Original culture is not lost) |
| Assimilation | When a minority culture adopts a new culture, typically the dominant culture, resulting in a loss of the original culture. |
| Syncretism | When two or more cultures evolve or change over time in a similar manner but remain culturally distinct. |
