Anatolian Hearth theory Correlation b/t source areas of 3 agricultural centers and 3 major languages

Central Place TheorySpatial distribution of cities/service centers is a hexagon w/CP in the middle

Concentric Zone Model Burgess Focus on CBD importance b/c CBD is at the center of the model ????

Core-Periphery modelPlaces/regions can’t develop equally, somebody has to be poor!

Demographic Transition Model Birth and mortality rates are tied to stages of development

Dependency TheoryPoor country’s economy is tied to a rich country, usually it’s former colonizer

Gravity model of migration Relationship b/t volume of migration and distance from source & destination is inverse

Heartland Theory Mackinder's Heartland (also known as the Pivot Area) is the core area of Eurasia, and the World-Island is all of Eurasia (both Europe and Asia). He who controls Europe, controls the world ‘Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island Who rules the World-Island commands the world’
