| helps predict future problems within population such as overpopulation or underpopulation of a certain race or ethnicity (predicts the future of an area of the world) | population projection |
| disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects a very high proportion of the population | pandemic |
| the process of change in a society population form a condition of high crude birth and death rates and low rate of natural increase to a condition of low crude birth and death rates, low rates of neutral increase, and higher total population. | demographic transition |
| branch of medical science concerned with the incidence, distribution, and control of disease that affects large numbers of people. | epidemiology |
| a complete enumeration of a population | census |

| the number of people who are too young or too old to work, compared to the number of people in their productive years. | dependency ratio |
| a country's population can be displayed by age and gender groups on a bar graph | population pyramid |
| a decline of the total fertility rate to the point where the natural increase rate equals zero. | zero population growth |
| medical technology invented in Europe and north America that is diffused into poorer countries of Latin America , Asia, and africa. improved medical practices have elimimated manh of the traditonal causes of death in poorer countries and enabled more peop | medical revolution |
| a conjunction of major improvements in industrial technology, this formed the process of manufacturing goods and delivering them | industrial revolution |
| the time when human beings first domesticated plants and animals and no longer relied entirely on hunting and gathering | agricultural revolution |
| the measure of the average number of years a newborn can expect to live at current mortality levels | life expectancy |
| the annual number of deaths of infants under 1 year of age, compared with total live births. | infant mortality rate |
| the average number of children a woman will have throughout her childbearing years | total fertility rate |
| which is the number of years needed to double a population, assuming a constant rate of natural increase | doubling time |
| the percentage by which a population grows in a year. | natural increase rate |
| physical or virtual space that is associated with a particular gender because of the activities that occur in the space | gender space |
| branch of medical science concerned with the incidence, distribution, and control of disease that affects large numbers of people | epidemiology |
| a sudden increase or burst in the population in either a certain geographical area or world wide | population explosion |
| different regions that belong to the different stages of the demographic transition. | demographic regions |
| two back to back bar graphs, one showing the number of males and one showing females in a particular population in five-years and groups. | age distribution |
| the number of people who are too young or too old to work, compared to the number of people in their productive years. | dependency ratio |
| the arrangement of a feature in space is distribution. Geographers identify the three man properties as density, concentration, and pattern. | population distribution |
| the ratio of live births in an area to the population of that area; it is expressed as a number of birth in a year to every 1,000 people alive in the society. | natality |
| a disease transmitted to a new location | disease distribution |
| a projection graph which levels off changing a j-curve to an s-curve. | s-curve |
| the projection population show exponential growth; sometimes shape as a j-curve | j-curve |

| population of various age categories in an age-sex population pyramids. | cohort |
| the formula that calculates population change. births - deaths (+ or -) net migration | demographic equation |
| the population level that can be supported, given the quality of food, habitat, water and other life infrastructure present. | carry capacity |
| helps predict future problems with population such as overpopulation of a certain race or ethnicity (predicts the future of an area of the world) | population projection |
| this is the tendency for growing population to continue growing after a fertility decline because of their young age distribution | demographic momentum |
| distinctive cause of death in each stage of the demographic transition. | epidemiologic transition |
| An adaptation that is (or has become) less helpful than harmful. | maladaptation |
