Study Notes
- Latitude lines are equidistant and run North to South.
- Longitude lines are equiangular and run East to West.
- Old Main is located at the coordinates 36°N, 94°W.
- Geotagging involves identifying and storing a location using precise latitude and longitude coordinates.
Density Elements
- Arithmetic density is calculated by population divided by land area.
- Physiological density is calculated by population divided by arable land area.
- Agricultural density is calculated by farm population divided by arable land area.
Doubling Times
- Doubling time refers to the length of time required for a population to double.
- Doubling time is dependent on the rate of natural increase (NI).
Epidemiologic Transition Stages
- Stage 1: Pestilence and Famine, characterized by high crude death rate (CDR).
- Stage 2: Receding Pandemics, characterized by decreasing crude death rate (CDR).
- Stage 3: Degenerative Diseases, characterized by decreasing crude death rate (CDR).
- Stage 4: Delayed Degenerative Diseases, characterized by increasing crude death rate (CDR).
- Stage 5: Evolution, Poverty, and Connectivity.
- Pronatalist policies are implemented by governments to support high birth rates.
- Antinatalist policies are implemented by governments to support low birth rates.
- Government immigration policies are classified by the UN and include international migration regulations such as the US quota laws of 1921.
Language Classifications
- Institutional language: Used in work, media, and government, and has a literary tradition.
- Developing language: Spoken daily and has a literary tradition.
- Vigorous language: Spoken daily but lacks a literary tradition.
- Threatened language: Used in face-to-face communication but is dying out.
- Dying language: Not passed down to children.
Literary Traditions Examples
- Cyrillic, Latin, Arabic, and Chinese serve as examples of literary traditions.
Language Families
- Prominent language families include Indo-European, Turkic, Afro-Asiatic, Sino-Tibetan, Niger-Congo, Austro-Asiatic/Sai-Kadai, and Austronesian-Indonesia and Pacific.
Language Theories
- Nomadic Warrior Theory: Suggests that domesticated cattle/horses migrated to find grassland with the Kurgan people between Russia and Kazakhstan
- Sedentary Farmer Theory: Posits that the diffusion of language occurred with agricultural practices rather than military conquest, originating in present-day Turkey 2000 years before the Kurgan people
