Lots of Notes


Today, Human Geo was the first class of the day. Everyone was extremely tired, and I’m not going to lie, I just wanted to sleep. We took a ton of notes today about Population and Migration. We took notes on several vocab terms including, life expectancy, crude birth rate (CBR), crude death rate (CDR), developing nations, developed nations, rate of natural increase (RNI), net immigration rate (NMR), immigration, emigration, push forces, pull forces, and last total fertility rate (TFR). We also learned that there are over 7 billion people living in the world. It’s crazy to think that there are 145 babies born per minute. That’s pretty crazy!!! It’s also pretty crazy that it only took 12 year to get from 6 billion to 7 billion people! I also learned that in some countries the life expectancy can be up to 93 years old, but as low as 47. Overall, today we took a lot of notes, but it was a fine class.
