🗑
epidemiology   a branch of medical science concerned with diseases that affect large amounts of people  
🗑
demographic transition   the change in a population from a high CDR, CBR and a low NIR to a low CDR, CBR, and low NIR  
🗑
census   a complete enumeration of a populatioin  
🗑
ecumene   a portion of earth that is permenently settled by humans  
🗑
agricultural revolution   the time when humans first domesticated plants and animals and stopped hunting and gathering  
🗑
demography   the study of populatioin characteristics  
🗑
industrial revolution   the time when major improvements were made to industrial technology  
🗑
zero population growth   the CBR equals the CDR near 0 and the NIR is 0% or close to it  
🗑
sex ratio   the amount of males for every 1000 females  
🗑
total firtility rate (TFR)   the average number of kids a woman will have while she can  
🗑
physiological density   the number of people per arable land  
🗑

🗑
what does arithmetic density show?   how many people are trying to live in a certain amount of space  
🗑
what does it mean of the physiological density is high?   the country has more pressure on it to provide its population with recourses  
🗑
why is the agricultural density lower in MDC rather than LDC?   the MDC has better technology so less farmers are needed to farm  
🗑
describe what happens on the demographic transition model in each of the 4 stages.   in stage 1 the CBR and CDR are high and the NIR is low. in stage 2, CDR drops, NIR rises and CBR is high. in stage 3 CBR drops and NIR decreases. instage 4 CBR and NIR are low and NIR is very low or non existent
