degrees latitude.

each direction
• Lines NOT same
distance apart
(closer near
poles)

many years you will live!
20.
21. 4. Literacy rates: Percent of
pop who can read
(97% in US, 25% for men,

5. Per capita income-how
much money per person a
region earns
22. •Pop growth rates: add how
many people are born &
subtract how many die =
pop growth rate
• When rates are equal, 0%

• 2010: 6.9 billion people
• By 2050: est 9.4 billion
• Developing nations are growing &
most developed nations are
declining
• Age ranges shifting toward older
people due to increase life
expect, lower birth & death
rates in developed nations
• Huge burden on healthcare

Label it! Color it!!! CHAD X = 1 person
5. Describe at least 3
problems a hi density
nation could experience
30. • Urbanization (growth of cities)
increasing quickly in developing
nations

individuals w/ tech skills &
knowledge to get better
opportunities

relationship btw living
things & environment: we

values based on place, time,
supply & demand.
• renewable resources -
replace themselves
naturally or can grow
continuous supplies
•non-renewable resources-
can not be replaced
45. • Climate (avg weather
over long period of time)
changes by burning fossil fuels,
building dams & deforestation
• Pollution-unclean
elements in
environment
47. Deforestation: cutting down trees
for timber & farmland
Biggest issue? Rainforest is 6%
of land, but has 50% of plant/

dioxide from environment to
turn to oxygen

• Kyoto Protocol: 150 nations met
& cut air pollution.US didn’t sign
• UN urges conservation of
resources (recyle)
to help create
sustainable
development
(being able to
meet basic needs)
67. • To reduce dependence on oil/gas,
use of geothermal & hydroelectric
plants & wind farms increases. (if
1/3 of world energy supplied by
wind, cut 113 bil metric tons of
carbon dioxide!)
