Earth’s Human Geography
5
Countries that DON’T use the Metric System
7
The World Divided Into 7 Regions,
Each with a Population of 1 Billion
9
Population Population-The people living in a particular region
Population distribution- Describes how the population is spread out over the Earth.
10
Demographers Study the populations of the world The Miniature Earth
11
Population Distribution
People tend to live in places where they can grow crops, trade, and use natural resources People live near: Major bodies of water Fertile soil Moderate climate with adequate rain
12
Continents Populous Not Populous Asia, Europe, North America
81% of world population 5 billion people Not Populous Australia, Africa, South America Most live along the coast of these countries
13
Population Population Density California North Dakota
The average number of people per square mile living in a given area. California 217 per sq. mile North Dakota 9.3 per sq. mile
14
Population Birthrate Death rate
The number of live births each year per 1000 people U.S /1000 Death rate The number of deaths each year per 1000 people U.S /1000
15
Population Life Expectancy
The average number of years that people live U.S. Male-75 years Female- 81 years 100 years ago, it was less than 50
16
Population Growth Reasons for growth Birthrate increase
Death rate decrease Agriculture Green Revolution - changes in agriculture that have resulted in better farming methods and increased production Medicine and Health
17
Challenges of Growth Food Shortages Jobs, public services
Land, Housing Environment Forests pollution
18
Movement Migration The movement of people from one place to another
Forced Migration: Australia-English convicts Being told you have to migrate
19
Immigrants Emigrant The people that move to a country 3.31/1000 people

people migrate because things “push” them to leave, or things in a new location “pull” them. EX: jobs, religious, ethnic, starvation Push = situation makes you leave – looking for somewhere new Pull = new location already picked – situation attracts you in.
22
Rural Area An area with a low population density, such as a village or countryside.
23
Urban Area An area with a high population density, such as a city or a town.
24
Growing Cities Urbanization
The movement of people to cities and the growth of those cities.
25
Growing Challenges Growing cities must accommodate for their population Jobs, schools, hospitals, and other services people need More people in city = less people farming #1 reason people move to urban areas… OPPORTUNITIES for themselves and their children
