- - - - Stage 3
        
        Moderate growth stage
        
        Population pyramid
        
        Ex. India and Brazil
        
        Falling birth rates, death rates start to level
      - Stage 1
        
        Low growth stage
        
        Population pyramid
        
        No population growth
        
        High death and birth rates
      - Stage 2
        
        Most of Africa is in stage 2
        
        Decreasing death rate, slowly decreasing birth rate
        
        Fastest growing stage
        
        Population pyramid
      - Stage 4
        
        Low birth and death rates
        
        Ex. USA, West Europe
        
        Low growth stage
        
        Population pyramid
  - - - Negative/ Declining Growth
      - Slow/ Stable Growth
      - Rapid Growth
- - - - Geopolitics: The jockeying among countries for territory, resources, and influence.
        
        Imigration
        
        Push/ Pull Factors
        
        Push Factors: Things that push you away from a place.
        
        Pull Factors: Things that bring people to a country.
        
        Asylum: A safe place.

        Ethnonationalism: A feeling of strong alliance to a particular ethnic group.
        
        UN: United Nations: An assembly of 185 member states
      - Geographic Information System(GIS)
      - Territorial Morphology: The size, shape, and relative location of a state
        
        Fragmented State: A state which is separated by a physical or human border. Ex. Indonesia, Philippines.
        
        Elongated State: A state which is long and narrow. Ex. Chile, Norway
        
        Perforated State: A state that completely surrounds another state.Ex. South Africa.
        
        Enclave State: A state or part of a state which is completely surrounded by another state. Ex. Lesotho, Vatican City.
        
        Prorupted State: A state that is very spread out or has a large extension. Ex. Loas, Thailand.
        
        Exclave State: A part of a state that is completely separated from the mainland. Ex. Hawaii, Alaska
        
        Compact State: The distance to the center from any point on its border is small.Ex. Poland, Zimbabwe.
      - Map Projections and Distortions
        
        Mercater
        
        Shows directions between places accurately, but distorts shape and size, mainly near poles.
        
        Homolosine
        
        Does not distort shape of the continents, but does distort ocean's shape and size
        
        Eckert
        
        Shows size correctly but distorts shape.
        
        Robison
        
        Problems: It is very hard to make a spherical object flat.
      - Types of Boundaries
        
        Physical/ Natural: A border made according to natural features in the landscape.
        
        Ocean
        
        UNCLOS Treaty
        
        Contiguous Zone: A band of water extending 24 miles from the coast of a country where the state can exert limited control to prevent or punish.
        
        Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ): 0-200 miles off the shore of a country, over which the country has control over all economic resources.
        
        Territorial Waters: The area within 12 miles of a countries shore. The Country has complete control over this area.
        
        International Waters: Any area that is not within anybodies EEZ. Anybody can use these waters freely.
        
        Median-Line Principle: If there is less than 200 miles between 2 or more countries then the sea is split up equally.
        
        Def: UN Convention Law Of The Seas
        
        Innocent passage: The right to travel through a countries ocean boundaries without disrupting any operations.
        
        Geometric: Straight lines that don't follow the geography of the land.
    - - 5 Themes of Geography
        
        Location: Where is it
        
        Absolute location: Unique to one spot on the earth.Ex. Lat/Long, address.
        
        Longitude: Lines that run vertically across the globe.
        
        Latitude:Lines that run horizontally across the globe.
        
        Global Positioning System(GPS)
        
        Movement:
        
        Human-Environmental Interaction:
        
        Place: What is it like when you get there?
        
        Region:
  - - - Orographic Effect: Happens when mountains are right on the coast.(Happens in Hawaii)
      - Elevation: The higher you go the colder it gets.
      - Proximity to Large Body of Water: Large bodies of water moderate temperature. (Cooler summers, Warmer winters)
      - Ocean Currents: Warmer currents= Warmer climates, Colder currents= Colder climates.
      - Latitude: As latitude increases the average the average annual temperature decreases.
    - - Line=tempature
      - Bar Graph=precipitation
