What are the general stages of the Demographic Transition Model?
High Stationary, Early Expanding, Late Expanding, Low Stationary, Declining.
Describe the process of urbanization.
Rural areas transform into urban centers due to migration and economic changes.
What is the process of resource depletion due to overpopulation?
Increased demand leads to overuse and exhaustion of natural resources.
Describe the process of habitat destruction due to population growth.
As population grows, more land is cleared for housing, agriculture, and infrastructure, leading to habitat loss.
Describe the process of how population distribution affects representation in government.
Areas with larger populations get more representatives, leading to greater political influence.
Outline the steps by which a high dependency ratio can strain a country's resources.
More dependents require more resources for healthcare, education, and social security, straining the budget.
Describe the process of how population density affects infrastructure development.
Higher population density requires more roads, bridges, utilities, and public services.
Describe the process of how population distribution shapes cultural makeup.
Migration and settlement patterns lead to diverse ethnic enclaves and urban centers.
Describe the process of how population growth contributes to climate change.
More people lead to increased resource use and greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change.
Describe the process of how a declining population leads to pro-natalist policies.
Governments implement policies to encourage more births to counteract population decline.
What is the Demographic Transition Model (DTM)?
Model showing population change over time through stages of birth and death rates.
Explain the concept of 'Political Identity' in relation to population distribution.
How cultural distribution can lead to political movements and conflicts.
Explain 'Economic Development' in relation to population size.
Higher populations can attract investment and boost economic growth.
What is the impact of a 'High Young Population' on investment?
Requires investment in childcare, education, and job creation.
What is the impact of a 'Graying Population' on investment?
Requires investment in healthcare, retirement homes, and social security.
Explain the concept of 'Cultural Distribution'.
The distribution of cultural groups can lead to political movements and conflicts over representation and resources.
What is the relationship between population distribution and 'Quality of Life'?
Higher density can mean more amenities but also overcrowding, affecting quality of life.
Explain the impact of 'Overpopulation' on natural resources.
Overpopulation can deplete natural resources.
Explain the concept of 'Habitat Destruction' in relation to population density.
Development due to high population density can destroy natural habitats.
Explain the concept of 'Biodiversity' in relation to population density.
High population density can reduce biodiversity.
What are the causes and effects of a high dependency ratio?
Cause: Aging population or high birth rates. Effect: Strained resources, need for social security.
What are the causes and effects of urbanization?
Cause: Economic opportunities in cities. Effect: Infrastructure challenges, increased pollution.
What are the causes and effects of pro-natalist policies?
Cause: Declining population. Effect: Increased birth rates, potential strain on resources.
What are the causes and effects of overpopulation?
Cause: High birth rates, low death rates. Effect: Resource depletion, environmental degradation.
What are the causes and effects of habitat destruction?
Cause: Population growth, development. Effect: Loss of biodiversity, ecosystem imbalance.
What are the causes and effects of high population density?
Cause: Migration, economic opportunities. Effect: Overcrowding, increased pollution, diverse communities.
What are the causes and effects of a declining population?
Cause: Low birth rates, high death rates. Effect: Aging workforce, economic stagnation, pro-natalist policies.
What are the causes and effects of resource depletion?
Cause: Overpopulation, unsustainable consumption. Effect: Environmental degradation, economic instability.
What are the causes and effects of climate change related to population?
Cause: High population, increased resource use. Effect: Rising temperatures, extreme weather events.
What are the causes and effects of cultural distribution?
Cause: Migration, settlement patterns. Effect: Political movements, conflicts over resources.
