Soil
A 100
Relative sizes of soil particles
A 200
Soil Degradation = Human actions that lessen
the quality of soil.
These include:
Overgrazing
Deforestation
Unsustainable agriculture (industrialized)
Irrigation
A 300
4 Types of degradation include:
1.Soil erosion (precipitation/irrigation)
2.Toxification (build up of toxins in soil)
3.Salinization (build up of salt from irrigation
& evaporation)
4.Desertification (deserts created or made
larger due to human actions)

NIR (%) = cbr - cdr
Natural Increase Rate = crude birth rate –
crude death rate

Soil conservation measures
•Soil conditioners (lime to increase pH,
organic materials)
•Wind reduction techniques (wind breaks,
shelter belts, strip cultivation)
•Cultivation techniques (terracing, contourplowing)
•Efforts to stop plowing of marginal lands.
A 500
A human population has a birth rate of
(30/1000 people) & death rate of (12/1000
people)
The NIR for this population
NIR = cbr – cdr/10
NIR = 30 – 12/10
NIR = 1.8%
B 300
A local human population has a birth rate of
(100/10,000) & a death rate of (50/10,000)
The NIR for this population =
NIR = (cbr – cdr) / 10
(50/10,000) – (100/10,000)/ 10
(5/1,000) – (10/1,000)/ 10
NIR = (5 – 10) / 10
NIR= -0.5%
This population is decreasing.
B 400
Birth rate of (40/1000 people)
Death rate of (10/1000 people)
NIR = (cbr – cdr)/10
NIR = (40/1000 – 10/1000)/10
NIR = 3%
Doubling time = 70/3
Doubling time = 23 years

Demographic Transition
D 100
In most MEDCS population growth stabilizes
or declines after they have industrialized.
D 200
The term applied to countries that are
making the change from LEDC to MEDC is
Newly Industrialized Countries.
Two examples of these countries include any
of the following;
China, India, South Africa, Malaysia,
Thailand, Philippines, Turkey, Mexico,
& Brazil.

4)Postindustrial
D 400
China’s TFR decreased from 1960 to
2000.
The reasons for this reduction include;
The one child law which fined families
that had more than one child.
China also transitioned from an LEDC
to an NIC (during this time. NIR
decreases.)

Contour Plowing
The 4 cultivation techniques shown here are
Sustainable forms of farming.
Composting
Strip Cropping
E 400
The area =- American Dust bowl
Causes = drought, overgrazing, replacing
native grasses with non-drought tolerant
crops like wheat, corn.
Effects = erosion, soil loss, soil degradation,
poverty, mass exodus to other states
E 500
Natural Income.
F 100
Natural Capital is used to describe these two
measures of resources;
1. Goods
2. Ecological Services
F 200
These are the three types of Natural
Capital with examples of each.
1. Renewable (sun/living) = fish stocks
2. Replenishable (sun/nonliving) = water
3. Nonrenewable = fossil fuels
F 300
Answers will vary
Sustainability means allowing the
environment to function indefinitely
without going into a decline from
stresses imposed by human society.
F 400
Evaluate the monetary value of Natural Capital using
examples. (+/-)
Answers will vary:
+ $ value can cause more careful use of resources.
+ $ value factors in both good & services provided
by the environment.
- Many goods are undervalued due to $ value of
sources.
- Intrinsic, ethical, spiritual, cultural values are
often underestimated/ignored.
