Settlement Trends

Migration is caused by these. ​ (a)  

They are one example of

people moving because of push factors. They are escaping drought or the

loss of natural resources near their homes. Other kinds of migrants may be

escaping poverty, religious persecution, conflict, or war. ​ ​ (b)  

In 2013, this amount of the most educated people from several

countries in Central America, the Caribbean, and Africa had moved to a

different country, most often in a more developed nation.​ ​ (c)  

This country’s migration rate is among the

highest in the world. More than 55 percent

of its population—and 85 percent of its

university-educated citizens—have left. ​ ​ (d)  

Many migrants moved to find jobs with ​ (e)  

salaries ​ , a pull factor. But many also left

because they opposed government policies

at home, a push factor. ​

It is the increase in the percentage of people living

and working in urban areas.​ ​ (a)  

These countries have limited access to technology, education,

and goods and services. ​ ​ (b)  

More people in developing countries migrate

from rural areas to​ ​ (c)   than they do in more developed countries.​

​ More people live in these areas in developing countries. ​ ​ (d)  

People who live in these places usually have better access to clean water

and services, such as schools, healthcare, and electricity. They are generally

healthier and have higher incomes than people who live in rural areas. ​ ​ (e)

Step 1 - You do this into categories when creating a flow map. For example, more

than 50 000, 25 001 to 50 000, 10 001 to 25 000,

and fewer than 10 000.​ ​ (a)  

You do this as Step 4. For example, the number of

immigrants from the United States is 6013. It is in

the “fewer than 10 000” category. Do it from a central area

 in the country of origin, the

United States, to a central area in the country of

destination, Canada. Match the thickness of the

arrow to the thickness for this category in your

legend. Add an arrowhead that points to Canada.​ ​ (b)  

Do this for your categories on an outline

map of the world. ​ (c)  

It shows the movement of people or goods using

arrows. The arrows begin at the source of the movement

and end at the destination. Sometimes the width of the

arrows shows the quantity of movement. By reading a

this, you can determine the distance, direction, and

quantity of the movement. ​ ​ (d)  

It is the most sprawling city in

the United States. It now covers about five times the area it

did in 1984. ​ ​ (e)  

• Group the data
• Draw the arrows
• Create a legend
• A flow map
• Houston, Texas

This is the most

dense city in the world. It has between 12 000 and 45 000 people per

km2. ​ (a)  

Many people choose to live here even if they work in the city centre.​ ​ (b)  

Houses

in suburbs are often different this way than houses of the same size in the city.​ ​ (c)  

Some cities grow in population but do not have enough land to expand

outward. Instead, they become like this. ​ ​ (d)  

A social, political,

economic, or environmental

attraction that draws

migrants to an area. ​ ​ (e)  

• Dhaka, Bangladesh
• the suburbs
• they are less expensive
• more compact
• pull factor

A social,

political, economic, or

environmental force that

drives migrants away

from an area. ​ ​ (a)  

The process

by which the percentage of

people living in urban areas

increases. ​ ​ (b)  

A wealthier country with

access to technology and

education, with generally high

life expectancy. ​ (c)  

A less wealthy country with

limited access to technology

and education, with generally

low life expectancy. ​ ​ (d)  

The arrival of immigrants from this province brought a cultural change

to Manitoba. ​ ​ (e)
