Skills
This type of map uses contour lines to show the shape and elevation of the land.
What is a topographic map?
A population pyramid with a narrow base and a larger proportion of older people suggests this demographic trend.
What is an ageing population?
In this stage of the Demographic Transition Model, both birth rates and death rates are high, resulting in little overall population growth.
What is Stage 1
This part of a map explains what symbols, colours and patterns represent.
What is a legend
This index measures development using life expectancy, education, and income.
What is the Human Development Index (HDI)?
These are six digits used to identify an exact location on a topographic map.
What is a six-figure grid reference?
People aged 0-14 and over 65 are often grouped together under this term because they are more likely to rely on the working-age population.
What are dependents?
During this stage, birth rates begin to fall due to factors such as improved education, urbanisation, and access to contraception.
What is Stage 3
To create this type of location reference, you read the easting first and then the northing to identify an exact location.
What is a four-figure area reference?
This economic indicator measures the average income earned per person in a country.
What is Gross National Income (GNI) per capita?
A map scale of 1:50,000 means that 1 centimetre on the map represents this distance in reality.
What is 500 metres?
A noticeable bulge in the middle age groups of a population pyramid may indicate this type of population movement.
What is migration?
This stage has low birth rates and low death rates, resulting in a relatively stable population size.
What is Stage 4
This map feature allows you to calculate real-world distances from measurements taken on a map.
What is a scale?
This indicator measures the average number of years a person is expected to live.
What is life expectancy?
This type of graph is commonly used to compare populations in different age groups and between males and females.
What is a population pyramid?
If a country's population pyramid has a very wide base but few elderly people, it is likely to face this challenge in the future.
What is providing enough jobs, housing, and services for a growing population?
This stage is characterised by rapidly declining death rates while birth rates remain high, causing rapid population growth.
What is Stage 2
These lines connect points of equal elevation above sea level.
What are contour lines?
A high value for this indicator generally suggests poorer healthcare and lower levels of development.
What is the infant mortality rate?
The direction directly opposite to south-east on a compass.
What is north-west?
This type of population pyramid has a broad base and rapidly narrows with age, indicating high birth rates and a youthful population.
What is an expansive population pyramid?
Countries in this stage often experience natural population decrease because the birth rate falls below the death rate.
What is Stage 5
When contour lines are very close together on a topographic map, they indicate this type of slope.
What is a steep slope?
This development indicator measures the percentage of people aged 15 and over who can read and write.
What is the literacy rate?
