    Population Density

    Population density measures the number of people residing in a given area and varies across different regions.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.1

    Definition

    Population dynamics examines how populations change over time due to various factors.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.2

    Formula

    Population dynamics examines how and why populations change in size, structure, and distribution over time.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.3

    Types

    This section discusses the types of population dynamics, including distribution, density, and migration.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.3.1

    High Density

    High population density refers to areas with more than 500 people per square kilometer, often seen in urban centers.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.3.2

    Low Density

    Low density areas are regions with fewer than 100 people per square kilometer, often characterized by natural landscapes and limited urban development.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.4

    Influencing Factors

    This section explores the various factors affecting population distribution, density, and migration.

    Learning Practice

    Learning Practice

  • 3.3.2

    Pull Factors

    Pull factors are attributes or conditions that attract individuals or groups to migrate to a certain area.

    Learning Practice

  • 3.4

    Effects Of Migration

    Migration has significant effects on both source and destination areas, impacting population structures and cultural diversity.

    Learning Practice

  • 3.4.1
