Test Tomorrow, Study Guide

Today in human geography we discussed what information would be on out test tomorrow. I was very excited about this because I want to very well on this test to make up for the pother one.
What on the Test/Study Guide:
  • Crude Birth Rate= number of births per 1,000 of the population
  • Crude Death Rate= number of deaths per 1,000 of the population
  • Rate of Natural Increase= subtract the death rate from the birth rate, divide by 10 (the annual Growth Rate
  • Net Migration Rate= the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year
  • Immigration= an excess of persons entering the country
  • Emigration= an excess of persons leaving the country
  • Push Forces= reasons for leaving
    • Examples:
      • Wars
      • Unemployment
      • Religious
  • Pull Forces= reasons for staying
    • Examples:
      • Better economic opportunity
      • Health Care
      • Political freedom
  • Total Fertility Rate= average number of children born (per woman). For the population to stay the same it needs to stay at 2.1
  • Population Pyramids= a graph to analyze growth/decline of fertility, population, and growth in migration.
    • "The Tree"
      • Growth rates are slow
      • High birth rate
      • short life expectance
      • Examples:
        • Namibia (Africa)
    • "The Box"
      • Low infant mortality
      • Slow population growth
      • Long life expectancy
      • Examples:
        • U.S.A.
        • Sweden
    • "The Cup"
      • Low birth rate
      • Shrinking population
      • Long life expectancy
      • Examples:
        • Italy
        • Germany
