Study Notes
Renewable Resources
- Renewable resources can be replenished naturally over a relatively short period.
- Examples include sunlight, wind, water, and biomass.
Non-Renewable Resources
- Non-renewable resources are consumed faster than they can be replenished.
- Examples include fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), minerals, and metals.
Inexhaustible Resources
- Inexhaustible resources are those that are continually available in vast quantities and are not consumed.
- Examples include solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power.
Population Pyramids
- Analyze specific details of each country pyramid
- Country A's pyramid is an example of a pyramid that is primarily youthful or developing.
Population Pyramid Stages & Challenges
- Country A - Analysis of the stage, level of development (MDC, NIC, LDC), dependency ratio, challenges.
- Country B - Analysis of the stage, level of development (MDC, NIC, LDC), dependency ratio, challenges.
- Country C - Analysis of the stage, level of development (MDC, NIC, LDC), dependency ratio, challenges.
- Country D - Analysis of the stage, level of development (MDC, NIC, LDC), dependency ratio, challenges.
Growing/Declining Populations
- Growing populations - pyramid shapes that have a wide base (young population increase)
- Declining populations - pyramid shapes that have a narrower base (low birth rates).
Inferences from Population Pyramids
- Population pyramids can reveal demographic trends (e.g., age structure, birth rates, death rates).
- They can also reveal information about a society's economic and social development
- They provide insights into factors such as mortality rates, fertility rates, and migration patterns.
- Demographic characteristics like the percentage of elderly and young people can also be observed.
Cultural Hearth
- Cultural hearths are areas where significant cultural traits develop and spread outwards.
Cultural Diffusion
- Cultural diffusion is the spread of cultural traits, ideas, and beliefs from one culture to another.
- Examples include the spread of food, music, art, and technology and religious practices
Latitude/Parallel Lines
- Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run east-west around the Earth.
- They measure distance north or south of the equator.
Longitude/Meridian Lines
- Longitude lines are imaginary lines that run north-south around the Earth.
- They measure distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Map Types
- Political maps show political boundaries.
- Physical maps show landforms and water features.
- Thematic maps focus on one specific topic or theme
Cartograms
- Cartograms are maps that distort the shapes and sizes of geographical areas to represent statistical data
Physical Features and Populations
-
Three physical features often associated with high population density
-
Coastal areas, river valleys, and fertile plains.
GPS
- GPS stands for Global Positioning System.
- It provides location information using satellites.
Rural vs. Urban Life
- Cultural differences between urban and rural areas are significant.
Polytheistic
- Polytheistic religions believe in multiple deities or gods.
- Examples are Hinduism.
Monotheistic
- Monotheistic religions believe in one God.
- Examples are Christianity, Judaism, Islam.

Religion Information
- A chart (or table) shows specific religions, origins, holy books, founders, etc.
World Religion Distribution
- A map shows the distribution of different religions across the globe.
Latitude and Climate
- Latitude strongly influences climate patterns (based on the angle of incoming solar radiation).
Globalization
- Globalization is the increasing interconnectedness and interdependence of countries through exchange of ideas, goods, and services.
Subsistence Farming
- Subsistence farming is when a farmer grows crops and raises livestock primarily for their own consumption.
Commercial Farming
- Commercial farming is when crops and animals are primarily raised to be sold for profit.
Free Market Economy
- A Free Market Economy is where prices and production of goods and services are decided by the forces of supply and demand
Mixed Economy
- A mixed economy features characteristics of both free and command economies
Command Economy
- A command economy is an economic system where the government controls production and distribution.
Economic Sectors
- Primary: Extracting raw materials—farming, mining, fishing
- Secondary: Manufacturing—transforming raw materials to products—steel mills, car factories
- Tertiary: Providing services—retail, education, healthcare
- Quaternary: Processing information—research, banking, education, consulting
- Quinary: Highest level decision-making—government, top-level research
