This will be good practice for me too :D
-Demographic Transition Model (DTM): How a country advances in technology/health care/and population. There are 5 stages. Stage 1:High CBR and CDR. Stage 2: High CBR and DRASTICALLY decreasing CDR. Stage 3: Decreasing CBR and CDR is decreasing a little bit. Stage 4: Low CBR and CDR. (Right in between Stages 4 and 5, Zero Population Growth is reached). Stage 5: Falling CBR and rising CDR (due to older people dieing off now).
-Migration Transition Model: 20 year old single males tend to travel rather than females or couples. They will migrate to MDC's for jobs.
-Gravity Model: Distance and how many similar people there are will determine if someone will tend to migrate to a certain place.
-Epidemiologic Transition Model: How a country changes the cause of death. RELATES TO THE DTM!!! stage 1: Die from animals. Stage 2: Die from communicable disease. Stage 3: Still dieing from disease, but there is fewer diseases. Stage 4: Early Cancer. Stage 5: Late cancer.
-Malthus's Theory: Population will exceed food. (He was wrong)
-Ravenstein's Laws of Migration: Chain migration/ Distance decay/ Type of migration/ who migrates/ Push AND pull factors/ intervening obstacles and opportunities.
-Heartland Theory (Mackinder): Said whoever controls Central/Eastern Europe will control the world. (Around Germany) Nazis followed this theory.
-Rimland Theory (Spykeman): Said whoever controls the region around UK to India through the meditterranean sea would control the world. (Around the coasts of these places rather then the actual places.) NATO went with this one.
-Domino Theory: To control the world, you have to conquer the weakest country, then the second weakest, then the thrid weakest, etc until you reach the strongest country. The Communist Soviet Union used this method.
-UNCLOS: Control a certain area of water surround the country.
A country will get 12 Nautical Miles called the Territorial Zone (no other country can go there without permission), then up to another 200 Nautical Miles called the EEZ (all resources within that area is the country's and no one else can take them), and then UP TO another 350 Nautical Miles depenidng on where the continental shelf is. After that is the High Seas where anyone can go.
-Von Thunen Model: Predicts the arrangement of certain agriculture types around a central market. It has FOUR rings around the central market. the first ring (closest to the center) is for Diary and Horticulture. The next ring is for Agriforestry. The next ring is for Grain. The next ring is for Cattle Ranching. It is assumed that they all have the same soil and equal level of transport.
-Whittlesey regions (climate's effect on agriculture): The 11 regions are Subsistence Wet Rice, Subsistence Not Rice, Pastoral Nomadism, Shifting Cultivation, Dairy, Mediterranean, Mixed Crop and Livestock, Plantation, Commercial Gardening, Cattle Ranching, and Grain.
-Human Development Index (HDI): Gives a country a score on population in terms of these factors: Literacy Rate, Kids in School, Life Expectancy, and GDP per capita (the average income per person).
-Gender Development Index: Equality index of sexes.
(For now ill give you these, im writing more for you soon)
