Main Ideas• Greek origins - geo = Earth, graphy = to write• 5 themes of geography make each place unique and then tie them
together (in regions)• Romans saw cartography as an art, not a science. Islamic scholars
identified features on Earth's surface, Marco Polo reintroduced discovery of outside world, then sparked colonialism/trade development.
• Three types of regions: formal, functional, vernacular• Three main aspects of distribution: density, concentration,
patterns.

Unit Two - Population and Migration
Vocabulary Review: http://quizlet.com/68255/the-cultural-landscape-an-introduction-to-human-geography-chapter-2-key-terms-flash-cards/
Main Ideas• Demographic Transition Model is a tool geographers use to
categorize countries' population growth rates and economic structures. The model analyzes crude birth rates, crude death rates, and total population trends in a society at a given point of time. Once a country moves into the next stage of the model, it cannot go back.
![Page 18: Advanced Placement Human Geography](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013122/56813cb9550346895da663be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Unit Two - Population and Migration
• British economist Thomas Malthus coined the term overpopulation in the late 1700s. Malthus suggested that the world's population was growing faster than the rate of food production, and as a result, mass starvation would occur. Malthus was correct in his assumption about world population increase but was incorrect in his assessment of agriculture's inability to produce sufficient food.
• The world's population is growing exponentially. Most of the growth is occurring in developing countries. More developed countries are either at or near zero population growth. Some Eastern European countries are losing population.
![Page 19: Advanced Placement Human Geography](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013122/56813cb9550346895da663be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Unit Two - Population and Migration
• Population Pyramids show the age and sex demographics of a particular country, city, or neighborhood. Inverted pyramids indicate a large percentage of elderly persons in the community. A large base indicates a lot of children in the society and could indicate a less developed country.
• There are three primary push and pull factors: economic, political, and environmental. Each of these reasons has caused millions of people to move.
• Refugees voluntarily leave an area for fear of death or persecution. Forced migrants are forced by the government to move. Forced migrants can suffer the same fate as refugees if they do not obey the government mandate for them to relocate.

Unit Two
Thomas Malthus: • population grows exponentially• food production is linear
o therefore: 2 units of food, 2 people 3 units of food, 4 people 4 units of food, 8 people 5 units of food, 16 people
• Predicted overpopulation - starvation, population checks• Why was he wrong?• Neo-Malthusians believe...

2. In 1798 Thomas Robert Malthus published An Essay on the Principle of Population in which he argued that population growth will inevitably outpace food production, resulting in widespread famine. 1. Identify and explain TWO reasons why some geographers
today believe Malthus’ theory can be used to predict future population issues.
