AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY CHAPTER 4 REVIEW Fundamentals of Population: Location, Distribution, & Density
6
Is it Crowded in here? Imagine that the number of students in our AP HuGe Class has doubled. List the effects of this, both positive and negative. Would you like to have more, fewer, or the same number of students in the class as now? WHY?
7
With a Partner… 1. What are the benefits / drawbacks of a society with a large / small population? 2. What effects does Geography have on the number of people in a place? 3. What services are easier to provide for an area of high population density?
8
What is Demography? KEY THEMES… 1. DISTRIBUTION – total population # vs. where concentrated…
9
DENSITY Why of Where
10
Themes Cont’d… 2. GROWTH – Is this a problem???
11
THE TURNING POINT… THE Industrial Revolution Before / After Effects on Population?
13
Themes Cont’d… 3. MIGRATION Why do people move???
14
Themes Cont’d… 4. POPULATION POLICIES – Why would a Gov’t want to control its population growth? How do they do this??? Should they do this???
15
World Population Concentrations 1. E. ASIA 2. S. ASIA 3. EUROPE
16
In USA… 1. E. Coast 2. W. Coast 3. Midwest
17
MEGALOPOLIS – Cluster of Distinct Major Cities – Forms Large Realm BOS NY WASH MORE
21
Where do we go now? RUST BELT – Decline SUN BELT – Growth
22
Making the Count Census – Why does a country need to know where its population exactly is???
23
Population Density- Number of People per unit area (sq. mile) 2 types
24
World Population Density
25
1. Arithmetic Pop. Den.- Breaks down data evenly Assumes pop. is spread out evenly across space Misleading??? No country has an evenly distributed population!!!
26
Arithmetic Pop. Den. Formula Country Pop. / Total Land = People per unit Egypt Pop.= 69.8 million (69,800,000) Egypt land Area = 384.3 thousand sq. mi (384,300) 69.8 / 384.3 =.1816 people per sq. mi. (182) or (just stay consistent!!!) 69,800,000 / 384,300 = 181.6 (182)
27
People All Over Egypt?
28
2. Physiological Pop. Den. # of people per unit of ARABLE LAND- Useable land (agriculturally reproductive) NOT mountains, tundra, craters, canyons, desert Accurate reading of where people are located Shows population pressure # ALWAYS Higher!!!
29
Physiological Pop. Den. FORMULA Country Pop. / Arable land = people per arable unit 1. Have to ask what % of this country’s land is arable To find Arable Land: multiply total land by arable land percentage (as a decimal)
30
EGYPT PHYSIO. Pop. Den. Egypt Pop.= 69.8 million (69,8000,000) Egypt land Area = 384.3 th. sq. mi. (384,300) Egypt % Arable Land = 2% (Decimal Way) (Long Way) Arable Land = 384.3 384300 *.02 = 7.686 *.02 =7686 Total Pop / Arable land = People per Arable U. 69.8 / 7.686 = 9.081 (9081) 69800000 / 7686 = 9081
