  1. Agenda 1/8/2013 Warm-Up Demography video clip Demography notes & graphic organizer Population Density Worksheet

  2. 1. If it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, what season is it in the Northern Hemisphere? A. Spring B. Winter C. Fall D. Summer

  3. 2. When it is fall in the Northern Hemisphere what is the position of Earth’s tilt in relation to the sun? A. extremely tilted toward the sun B. extremely tilted away from the sun C. not tilted on its axis at all D. not tilted extremely toward or away from the sun

  4. Demography Human Settlements

  5. Timeline of Human History • 100’s of thousands of years ago man 1st appeared in the Great Rift Valleys of East Africa. • 10,000 years ago man had migrated into the Middle East. • Discovered how to plant seeds for food leading them to abandon nomadic (wandering in search of food) hunting and gathering lifestyle. • Agriculture spreads and people start to settle in 1 place & develop cities.

  6. River Valley Civilizations River valley’s good soil & water=1st cities arose b/c enough food for population= - in # of farmers & + priests, soldiers, traders, & craftspeople= need for government.

  7. Industrial Revolution 1700’s the Industrial Revolution begins= + urbanization (movement of people to the cities) = + in factory jobs and opportunities

  8. Now • ¾ of world’s population lives on 5% of land. • Top 5 areas • East Asia • South Asia • S.E. Asia • Europe • North America • Physical & Human factors influence where people settle

  9. Factors influencing where people settle: Physical Factors Climate Most where temperate or mild climate. WHY? Natural Resources Clustered around ports & fresh water sources, Flat & fertile land as well. WHY?

  10. Factors influencing where people settle: Physical Factors Bodies of Water 2/3’s of population live within 500 miles of the ocean. WHY? Landforms 8 of 10 largest cities along fault lines Fewer people live in mountainous, dry, cold, or extremely wet areas. WHY?

  11. Factors influencing where people settle: Human Factors Level of Technology Higher the level of technology = more people free to explore & settle new areas. Transportation Routes • New routes leads to new settlements • Ex. Railroad opened up the Western United States to more settlement.

  12. Factors influencing where people settle: Human Factors Urbanization Increase in urbanization leads to increase in population in areas around cities. Economic Activities • New economic opportunities bring people to new areas. • Ex. California gold rush (1849) brings a large influx of people to California & western states.

  13. Agenda 1/9/13 Warm-Up Grade papers & tests Patterns in Size & Distribution of Cities Notes Turn in homework

  14. 1. What is the angle of the tilt of the earth? A. 23.5° B. 35° C. 21.5° D. 30° 2. What effect does the tilt have on the earth? A. It causes the earth to spin faster on its axis. B. It causes day and night to occur. C. It causes the seasons to occur. D. It has no effect on the earth.

  15. Grading papers Rainfall in India/Mainland Southeast Asia on the Map Australia & New Zealand on the Map/Island Countries of Southeast Asia on the Map Ch. 9 Test B F D J A H C J A D

  16. Patterns in Size & Distribution of Cities

  17. Demographer • Studies characteristics of populations & where people settle. • Ex.: males, females, ages- population pyramids • Can tell if society is healthy with good health care= longer life expectancy.

  18. Distributions of Cities Squatter Settlements Residential CBD Suburbs *developed around business district *wealthier moved to suburbs – commuted. This is reversing now in some big cities • CBD- central business district • Residential= possibly lower income housing • Suburbs= outside of city- formed “satellite cities” and when join= metropolitan area or region. • Squatter settlements- less educated & few resources. • People who move to city who can’t afford to live in the city- use plywood, metal, & plastic sheets to make housing/buildings= shantytowns

  19. URBAN PATTERNS • City Center • best known area, most visually distinctive • San Francisco, London • original site of settlement • Central Business District • retail & office space • assessable • often a focal point with skyscrapers • specialized stores for the office workers

  20. URBAN PATTERNS • Zones in Transition • mixed use with light industry • transition from business to residential • older neighborhoods (slums) • home to ethnic groups not culturally integrated • ghettos vs. ethnic neighborhood • Suburbs • residential • nodes of retail services

  21. GROWTH OF THE CITY • Skyscrapers - using vertical space • intensive use of land • shops at street level • professional offices at higher levels • Outward Expansion • advent of the automobile & transportation routes • decline of public transport

  22. OUTWARD EXPANSION (con’t) • Squatter Settlements - illegally erected shacks, cardboard structures and tents, due to rapid growth in cities of developing countries • De-urbanization of the City • suburbanism - legally independent cities • cluster cities • rural areas- preferable to urban lifestyle • telecommuting - economic activity from a distance

  23. Agenda • Warm-up • Finish Demography notes • Watch guy in the forest w/backpack who doesn’t blink video. • Get 15 facts on paper.

  24. In which zone will you find a variety of weather? • A. Temperate • B. Tropic • C. Longitudinal • D. Polar • What would happen if there was no tilt of the earth? • A. The earth would not rotate on its axis. • B. There would be no seasons. • C. Day and night would be the same length everywhere on earth, all year long. • D. The earth would be pulled closer to the sun.

  25. Trends in World Population • Once agriculture discovered population grew gradually. • After 1700’s – Industrial Revolution= new farming techniques & modern science lead to fast increase in Europe’s population. • When European’s conquered/colonized areas all over the world bringing new ideas leads to population explosion. • Since WWII (1940’s) in Asia, Africa, & Latin America populations have risen dramatically.

  26. Trend’s continued 1700- .5 billion people 1850- 1 billion 1900- 1.5 billion 1950- 2.5 billion 1970- 4 billion 2000- 6.1 billion 2011- 7 billion Some countries/areas are struggling to reduce birth rates & get growth under control because it is straining their economies & societies.

  27. Agenda 1/11/13 Warm-up Demography lessons on project share Demography test on project share We are going to a computer lab today. When we exit the class you need to be quiet and walk fast to the lab. The lab is located in the main building and I will give directions to it before we leave. Once we are in the lab you need to sign on and then wait for instructions. You need to be on your best behavior in the lab and make sure that you listen.

  28. This type of plate movement causes the formation of volcanoes: • A. Erosion • B. Divergent Boundaries • C. Convergent: Subduction • D. Transform boundaries • Which of the following is not an example of erosion? • A. Forest Fires • B. Landslides • C. Glacial break up • D. Flooding

  29. Grab a computer and log in Log on to the internet make sure it is CCISD wireless. http://projectsharetexas.com Once there go to Mr. Cook to get your log in information you will need something to write your information down on and with. The password is sandcrabs When you log on it will have you create two security questions make sure you remember exactly how you answered them (including capital letters!) Once you have finished that STOP.

  30. Now click on learning and then courses. You will have an invitation click on the green check mark on the right hand side to accept the invitation to World Geography. It will ask you to accept your name and role, just click accept do not change anything on that screen. STOP

  31. Now you will be taken to the World Geography site. Click on Lessons on the left hand side. When the lessons load scroll down to the Urbanization: Growth of Cities Lesson. Click on it and when it loads go through the lesson, make sure to read, view the pictures & video clips (headphones if you got them). If you do not finish we will tomorrow we will finish the lesson and take the exam on it in class.
