World Geography (The economy: the wealth and resources of a country or…

- - - - Makes the rich richer
      - Cheap labor means the companies can monopolize easier
      - richest people have more political influence
      - Can be used to scare workers by threatening to move jobs to cheaper areas
      - Negative impact on environment
      - Loss of borders could cause people to feel as though they've lost part of their identity
    - - It gives a lot of people chances to work and earn money they couldn't otherwise get
      - It helps develop less developed economies
      - It gives countries more connections and therefore less reasons to fight
      - It encourages free trade
      - Could stop labor exploitation
- - - - Absolute Location-Lat. and Long. etc.
      - Relative Location-location based off a landmark or nearby object, also based off cardinal directions (N, E, S, W)
  - - - Elevation: for every 1000 feet of elevation gained, the average temperature is about 3 degrees lower
      - Ocean Currents: warm ocean currents will create a warmer climate.
      - Orographic effect: when there's an ocean next to mountains. Wind pushes warm air up the mountain and it cools then it rains on the ocean side, leaving the leeward side in the "rain shadow", getting very little rain
      - Proximity to large bodies of water: Being close to a large body of water stabilizes the weather and has a lower average temperature.
      - Latitude: how far north or south a location is
- - - - Stage 2: same birthrate, death rate rapidly falling, and very rapid increase
      - Stage 3: Falling birth rate and death rate, steady increase.
      - Stage 1: high and fluctuating birth and death rate, low natural increase.
      - Stage 4: Very low birth and death rates, and slow natural increase.
      - Stage 5: Very low birth and death rates, slow decrease.
- - - - Prorupted state: almost compact, but has one extending arm
      - Perforated state: a state completely surrounding another state
      - Elongated state: Long and skinny state
      - Compact state: distance from center of state is similar to all sides
      - Fragmented state: state in multiple disconnected pieces
      - Enclave: A state entirely surrounded by another
      - Exclave: a portion of a state or territory geographically separated from the main part by surrounding alien territory
    - - Physical/natural: Boundaries based off natural features like mountains or rivers
      - Ocean: boundaries based off of the location of an ocean
      - Geometric: boundaries that are straight lines
    - - UNCLOS treaty: The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. This is where all the UN countries made an agreement about ocean sovereignty
      - Ocean zones
        
        Territorial Waters: waters up to 12 miles where the coastal state has complete sovereignty
        
        Contiguous zone: up to 24nm, a state can punish vessels in this area for infringement of its customs.
        
        Exclusive Economic Zone: up to 200nm, the coastal state can control who passes through here for economic purposes
        
        International waters: areas more than 200 nm from any coastline
        
        Median-line principle: if two states don't have enough water between them to both get all zones, they split it in the middle
  - - - Push Factors: factors that make someone want to move away from their home country
      - Pull factors: factors that make someone want to move to a different country
    - - Chain Migration: People from one town all migrating to the same place
      - Cyclical migration: usually the repeated migration each year of seasonal workers
      - Step Migration: people who live in rural areas moving closer to urban areas
      - Internal Migration: migration within one country
      - Emigration: Leaving your home country
      - Immigration: Coming to a new country
