Study Notes
Renewable Resources
- Resources that can be replenished naturally and at a rate that equals or exceeds their consumption.
- Examples include sunlight, wind, water (hydropower), biomass, and geothermal energy.
Non-Renewable Resources
- Resources that are consumed faster than they can be replaced.
- Examples include fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), minerals, and metals.
Inexhaustible Resources
- Resources that are perpetually available and are not depleted by use.
- Examples include solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy.
Population Pyramids - Analysis
- Country A: Likely in a later stage of development, depicting an aging population, potentially with a low dependency ratio.
- Country B: Possibilities include a developing nation with a relatively younger population distribution, suggesting a moderate dependency ratio.
- Country C: Suggests a more developed country with a stable or declining population, a lower dependency ratio, and a broader middle-age group.
- Country D: Indicates a developing nation with a large youthful population, potentially leading to a high dependency ratio.
Population Pyramid Stages & Growth
- Growing population: Stages with a wide base (young people) and a relatively narrow top (older people).
- Declining population: Stages with a smaller base and a wider top part of the pyramid.
Population Pyramid Inference
- Population size
- Age structure
- Sex ratios
- Dependency ratios and potential social and economic impacts
- Historical trends in birth rates and mortality rates
Cultural Hearth
- A place of origin of a significant culture or ideas.
Cultural Diffusion
- The spread of cultural elements from one society to another.
Latitude and Longitude
- Latitude: Lines parallel to the Equator, measured in degrees north or south. They determine climate zones.
- Longitude: Lines running from the North Pole to the South Pole, measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. They determine time zones.
- Measurement: Both are measured in degrees.
Map Types
- Political map: Shows political boundaries such as countries, states, and cities.
- Physical map: Illustrates the natural or physical features of an area such as mountains and rivers.
- Thematic map: Displays specific data or themes for a given area, such as population density or rainfall.
Cartograms
- Maps where the size or area of a region is proportional to the data being represented.
Factors Affecting Population Density
- Favorable climate
- Proximity to water sources
- Fertile land
- Natural resources
- Political and economic stability
GPS
- Global Positioning System
- Used for navigation, geographic location tracking, mapmaking etc.
Rural vs Urban Life
- Rural: Typically has close-knit communities, agricultural economies, and traditional ways of life.
- Urban: Often features diverse populations, advanced economies, numerous job opportunities, but with potential issues like congestion and pollution.
Polytheistic and Monotheistic Religions

- Shows the distribution of different religions on a world map.
Latitude and Climate
- Latitude influences variations in solar radiation, resulting in different temperature patterns and weather characteristics.
Globalization
- The process of increasing interconnectedness and interdependence among countries and people.
Subsistence Farming
- Farming methods and practices that are used for the direct consumption of the people who farm. Focuses on basic survival needs.
Commercial Farming
- Farming done to satisfy commercial needs, not just those of the farmer and their family
