    Population Distribution

    Population distribution examines how populations are spread across various areas and the factors influencing these distributions.

  • 1.1

    Even Distribution

    Even distribution refers to the uniform spread of people across geographical areas.

  • 1.2

    Uneven Distribution

    This section explains uneven population distribution and its influencing factors.

  • 1.3

    Factors Affecting Distribution

    This section discusses the various factors that influence population distribution across different regions.

  • 1.3.1

    Physical Factors

    Physical factors significantly influence population distribution and density.

  • 1.3.2

    Economic Factors

    Economic factors significantly influence population distribution, density, and migration patterns.

  • 1.3.3

    Social And Political Factors

    Social and political factors significantly influence population distribution and density.

  • 2

    Population Density

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

  • 2.1

    Definition

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

  • 2.2

    Formula

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

  • 2.3

    Types

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

  • 2.3.1

    High Density

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

  • 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.

  • 2.4

    Influencing Factors

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

  • 3

    Migration

    Migration refers to the movement of people across different regions, influenced by various push and pull factors.

  • 3.1

    Definition

  • 3.2

    Types Of Migration

    This section explores the different types, reasons, and effects of migration.

  • 3.2.1

    Rural To Urban

    This section explores the migration of people from rural areas to urban centers, highlighting causes, effects, and patterns.

  • 3.2.2

    Urban To Rural

    Seasonal Migration

    Seasonal migration is the cyclical movement of people in response to seasonal changes and economic opportunities, affecting population distribution.

  • 3.3

    Reasons For Migration

    This section explores the various reasons that prompt people to migrate, categorizing them into push and pull factors.

  • 3.3.1

    Push Factors

    Push factors are reasons that drive individuals to leave their current location, such as unemployment and lack of amenities.

  • 3.3.2

    Pull Factors

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

  • 3.4

    Effects Of Migration

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

  • 3.4.1

    On Source Area

    This section discusses population dynamics focusing on the factors affecting population distribution, density, and migration.

  • 3.4.2

    On Destination Area

    This section explores the effects of migration on destination areas, emphasizing increased labor force, cultural diversity, and resource pressure.

  • 4

    Summary

    Population dynamics examines the changes in human populations over time, focusing on aspects like distribution, density, and migration.
