THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION ?Keith Montgomery The "Demographic Transition" is a model that describes population change over time. It is based on an interpretation begun in 1929 by the American demographer Warren Thompson, of the observed changes, or transitions, in birth and death rates in industrialized societies over the past two hundred years or so. By "model" we mean that it is an idealized, composite picture of population change in these countries. The model is a generalization that applies to these countries as a group and may not accurately describe all individual cases. Whether or not it applies to less developed societies today remains to be seen.

UNIT 2 Maps, Scales, Space, and Place Map Fundamentals Earths? surface is a geoid, a bumpy, rocky sphere. In maps, distortion is unavoidable in a projection. Projections can cause the distortion of distance, area, shape, and direction. *** Projection Types *** Mercator projection: preserves direction, distorts area. Projected on a cylinder, resulting in longitude lines that do not intersect, but rather are parallel. Land masses near poles are severely enlarged. Peters projection: accurate area of landmasses, reveals areas in the tropics to be rather large. Fully projection: accurate size but no sense of direction. Robinson projection: minimal errors in distance, area, shape, and direction, and is widely accepted by many geographers.
