natural environment, history, and level of economic development are factors that influence population patterns. Looking at the case study on Australia, can you think of any other factors that may influence population patterns? Explain.
umm.. translation plz? :)
Apparently you've read a case study on Australia, right?
The natural environment (climate, land and water forms, indigenous plants and animals), history, and how the people and the country make money help people decide where to live.
Can you think of any other things that influence where people live?
like how many people live there, if there's not alot of people who live there, or if its crowded.
Most people live in cities, right? Why do so many people live in cities?
So many people live in cities because... umm... there are ... more attractions, and everything is close by?:S im not really sure.
Money! Money! Money!
Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!
The major reason that people live in cities is for jobs. Rural areas have few jobs, except for farming. In Australia, as in many countries, very few people still can make a living on small family farms. Small towns typically have few good-paying jobs.
A few people also live in cities because of better schools and medical care, as well as the entertainment facilities.
its ok i figured this one out i just read it over and found the answer in the book, but thx anyways ur great help!:)
actually that does help hehe thank u:)
You're welcome.
Certainly! In addition to natural environment, history, and level of economic development, there are several other factors that can influence population patterns in a specific region, such as Australia. These factors include:
1. Political Stability: The stability and effectiveness of a country's governance can have a significant impact on population patterns. Countries with unstable political systems or high levels of corruption may experience population decline or emigration as people seek better opportunities and security elsewhere.
2. Social Factors: Social factors such as cultural and religious beliefs, social norms, and quality of life can affect population patterns. For example, countries that prioritize gender equality and have access to quality healthcare and education may experience higher birth rates and population growth.
3. Infrastructure and Services: The availability and adequacy of infrastructure, including transportation, healthcare facilities, schools, and other public services, can influence population patterns. Regions with well-developed infrastructure are more likely to attract people and experience population growth.
4. Immigration Policies: The immigration policies of a country can significantly impact its population patterns. Countries with more open immigration policies or favorable conditions for migrants may experience an influx of people, leading to population growth and increased cultural diversity.
5. Climate and Geography: The climate and geography of a region can also influence population patterns. Areas with favorable natural conditions, such as temperate climates, fertile land, and access to water resources, may attract more people and support higher population densities.
Considering these additional factors helps provide a more comprehensive understanding of population patterns in a specific case study, such as Australia.
