India
Brazil

How might voluntary migration impact the spatial organization of urban areas?
Population density uniformly decreases across the urban area.
Urban sprawl decreases due to reduced demand for suburban housing.
Segregation diminishes as diverse populations disperse evenly throughout the city.
Gentrification may occur as higher-income migrants move into urban neighborhoods.
Which method of geographic data representation would most effectively show the global patterns of forced migration over the past decade?
A flow-line map that illustrates the movement between countries.
A dot distribution map showing population densities.
A choropleth map indicating different climate zones.
An isometric map displaying topographical elevations.
What impact might forced migration due to environmental disturbances have on traditional gender roles in society?
Forced migrations lead to total role reversal, because men are more adversely affected by environmental changes historically.
Enhancement of patriarchal systems occur because of female migrants' reluctance to participate in economic activities.
Gender roles remain unchanged as they are deeply entrenched in cultural norms and resistant to transitional stressors.
Displacement can alter gender dynamics by necessitating new forms of economic participation from women.
What is a significant flaw in the world systems theory as it pertains to human migration?
It completely ignores the impact of peripheral nations on global migration patterns.
It overemphasizes the role of core countries in driving migrations.
It does not adequately consider individual motivations for migrating.
It exaggerates the influence of semi-peripheral countries on migratory movements.
