Chapter Review Time....

Today in Human Geo, we reviewed for our test that's on Friday. Here are my fabulous notes I took.

So basically we have to get familiar with the CIA World Fact Book. On the day of the test we will have about 10 or a little more minutes to complete the questions given on the test- all searched in the CIA World Fact Book.

Next we have to study our notes, blogs, and also the teachers blog.
This will not be an open-notebook kind of test or "open-blog", we are going to have to memorize everything we learned like a normal test.

REVIEW:
  • Memorize the terms: life-expectancy, crude birth rate, crude death rate, developing nations, developed nations, rate of natural increase, net migration rate, immigration, emigration, push forces, pull forces, and total fertility rate.
  • If you know the crude birth rate then it shows you the rate of natural increase
  • Crude birth rate: places were people are dying then being born- exs: Japan, Germany, Italy etc. (The places were the crude death rate is a higher number then the crude birth rate which brings that countries population number down.)
  • Developing nations are countries that are not doing well economic wise, or health wise etc. (pre-industrialism)
  • Developed nations are countries that are selling and buying a lot of things, economy is decent etc. Like the USA. (post-industrialism)
  • You can figure out the birth rate of natural increase by subtracting the CBR by the CDR
  • How to get the migration rate: subtract the emigration from the immigration and if the number is positive then the population is growing and has more immigrates, but if the number is negative it's the opposite.
  • Immigrants: people that are traveling to go to another country permanently        
  • Emigration: people leaving their country to come to a new one
  •  (example: someone from France comes to America- they are immigrants to America but emigrants to France.)
  • push force: something that causes one or more people to leave their country. Like something acts like it forces them too. (ex: health issues, dictatorship, wars etc.)
  • pull force: things that's make people want to come to that other country. (ex: America. the land of opportunity)
