To determine whether each scenario is interior migration or immigration, we need to understand the difference between the two terms.
Interior migration refers to the movement of people within the borders of a country, from one region or city to another. It could be influenced by factors such as education, job opportunities, or lifestyle preferences.
Immigration, on the other hand, refers to the movement of people from one country to another with the intention of settling there permanently.
With this understanding, let's analyze each scenario:
A. A person moves from Alberta to British Columbia to go to college.
In this case, the person is moving within the borders of Canada. Hence, it is an example of interior migration.
B. A person moves from northern Canada to southern Canada due to the economy.
Similarly, this scenario involves movement within Canada. Hence, it is an example of interior migration.
C. A person moves from China to Canada in search of work.
In this scenario, the person is moving from one country (China) to another (Canada) for employment opportunities. Therefore, it is an example of immigration.
D. A person moves from Canada to the United States to escape the cold weather.
This scenario involves moving from one country (Canada) to another (United States) to avoid certain environmental conditions. Therefore, it is an example of immigration.
So, the correct categorizations for each scenario are:
A. Interior migration
B. Interior migration
C. Immigration
D. Immigration
