1. Year-to-date Review

2. Population Distribution
People are distributed unevenly throughout the world due to physical features and environmental is conditions.
Dense vs Sparse

3. Push and Pull Factors Pull are always positive
Push are always negative

4. Urbanization The movement of people from rural areas to urban areas
The world is becoming more urban as more economic opportunities are available in the cities
Megalopolis vs Megacity
Suburban and Urban Sprawl

5. Physical Region Describes the landscapes physical characteristics
Animals available
Weather
Vegetation
Place vs Location

6. Diverse Culture
Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the world.
100’s of different languages spoken
Food from almost every culture available

7. Monsoon Seasonal wind which brings rain to South Asia
Farmers in places like India depend on Monsoons in order to have productive crop seasons

8. GPS- Global Positioning System
Using satellites to track movements on Earth
Cell phone maps
Navigation in cars

9. Diffusion – Movement of culture
Movement of something
Could be…
Language
Religion
People

10. GIS- Geographic Information Systems
Layered maps on the computer
Used to
Track disease
Know where to build something

11. Ring of Fire
Rim along the Pacific Ocean where there is abundant tectonic activity which results in numerous volcanoes and earthquakes
Result- people in places like Japan and San Francisco have very strict restrictions on building- must with stand an earthquake
Plate tectonics
Subducting plates
Diverging plates
Transform faults

12. Ocean Currents Hot and cold currents move in circular motions
Impact climate – a location with the same latitude can have a different climate because of the ocean and wind currents.

13. Population Pyramid - Rapid Growth, Slow Growth, Zero Growth & negative Growth
This country should prepare for more elderly care because the largest population is between and it is negative growth
This country should prepare for more child care facilities and education due to the rapid growth

14. Street maps are used for navigation purposes- getting from point A to point B Utilizes GPS – Absolute location

15. Climographs- What types of climate are represented Line indicates Temperature Bars indicate Precipitation
Things to look for…
The temperature is a constant 80 degrees
It rains consistently throughout the year
It is located in Hawaii

16. Overpopulation Having more people than the resources can sustain
Example China
One child Policy
Tax system
“ Lost Girls”

17. Irrigation Systems modify the environment for positive purposes
HEI

18. Deforestation
The cutting and burning of trees which is usually done to make room for more agriculture land.
Leads to Green House affect.
EXAMPLE HEI

19. Must know - COPY What are landforms that hinder and aid migration
Push and pull factors
Two inventions that have helped the world population increase
Culture diffusion (what it is and an example)
The five factors which affect climate
How can two places with the same latitude can have different climates? Elevation & ocean/ windcurrents
Define dense and sparse
Define urban and rural
