Document Summary

Population geography is a branch within human geography. Population geography: the study of the ways in which spatial variation in the distribution, composition, migration and growth of population are related to the nature of places. Spatial variation: means that population is different in different places so when we talk about population in place a and place b, we are talking about different things and then we can make comparisons. Growth (these are the four fundamentals that help to understand population geography) Distribution: relative concentration of people or something, how well things are distributed about the place (example: in classroom, more people sit near the main doors) Composition: how a population is composed/ what makes up a population, you can look an any different characteristic of a population and talk about composition (example: white people (race)) Migration: basically moving from one place to another (example: too crowded)
