Japan is in Stage 5. Death Rate is higher than the birth rate. So the answer could be both stage 4 and 5 as birth rates in both of these stages may be very similar. This is assuming that one considered a country in stage 5 as one where the death rate is above the birth rate.

I feel the answer is X, because to find the NIR (natural increase rate), one must subtract the CDR from the CBR. In this case, 40-15=25. That is country X's NIR. Country Y's NIR is 11 due to the fact that 20-9=11. Twenty-five is greater than 11, which is why I believe X is the correct answer.

@Deathtothebourgeois - Yes, the answer would definitely be Country X because excluding the factor of migration Country X has a way larger NIR - 2.5% to Country Y's 1.1%. This has to be an error in the answer key.

The answer is option D A functional region also known as a nodal region is a region organized around a node or focal point. A functional region dominates at a central focus or node and diminishes in important outwards. This region is tied to central points of communication systems, transportation, by economic or functional associations. Examples of functional regions include: Area of dominance of television station, circulation area of a newspaper, area served by a sport franchise and the market area of a super market. The area dominated by a particular crop is not a functional region but a formal region. A formal region is an area which everyone shared similar characteristics. It can include production of a certain crop, cultural values, climate and weather patterns.

False, the answer is hierarchical diffusion because the fashion diffused to bigger, more powerful cities and then to smaller decentralized cities. For example if a fashion trend from Paris spead to cities like Chicago and New York, and then after the big cites, it diffused to smaller,suburban cities like Aruora (Illinois) that would be hierarchical diffusion; which is what the question is referring to.

The main difference between pastoral nomadism and livestock ranching is the type of animals that are being cared for. Pastoral nomadism will require the care of sheep, goats, and even camels. For livestock ranching, it is a bit different. Cattle would need to be raised. There are also some differences with their purposes. A lot of people who do livestock ranching would do it in order to earn a profit. Those who do pastoral nomadism would do it for survival and sustenance. Pastoral nomadism is more common in Asian countries and in Africa. There are more people who do livestock ranching in America. These differences will make these two concepts easier to differentiate.

Couldn't you argue that job oppurtunities are not an intervening obstacle? Friends can be a cultural facotr; they can induce to stay. On the other hand, the job oppurtunities in a foreign country may be an incentive to move to a different location. You should contemplate this

Wilbur Zelinsky was a renowned cultural geographer from America. He was born in 1921 and went on to die in 2013. He worked on numerous projects but demographic transition was his strong point. He created a special model that portrayed demographic transition which showed his prediction of migration characteristics. He says that migration has 5 stages and the stage which a society is currently on depends on depends on the development of the traditional society. The last stage is called the future super advanced society in the model created by Wilbur, which displays the most developed form of migration.

A barrier to spatial interaction is anything that prevents effective interaction or communication between communities. Whether this is a language barrier, where different neighbors can’t interact because they speak different languages, or a highway that separates two neighborhoods, the effect is the same. Both scenarios present the occupants with an inability to interact with each other. Similarly, an ocean can act as a barrier to spatial interaction because of inability of the occupant s to meet. Different ethnicities can also be a problem and a barrier for certain people. Some ethnicities don’t like mixing with other groups and can be the reason for their lack of interaction.
