Reasons of migration is divided into two categories

(i) Push factors- The important factors are- poverty, high population pressure on the land, lack of basic infrastructure facilities like health care, education; natural disasters-flood, drought, cyclonic storms, earthquake, tsunami; wars and local conflict

(ii) Pull factors- better opportunities; availability of regular work, relatively higher wages; better opportunities for education; better health facilities; source of entertainment

Reasons for migration of males and females are different

About 38% of male migrate due to work and employment

And about 65% of female migration is mainly due to social reason i e marriage

Marriage migration of male is only 2% in the country

I. It was made for the duration of 1951 to 1956.

II. It was based on the Harrod-Domar model.

III. Its main focus was on the agricultural development of the country.

IV. This plan was successful and achieved growth rate of 3.6% (more than its target)

Man needs to follow Stop and Go approach. It means possibilities can be created within the limits which do not damage the environment and there is no free run without accidents. It includes all those physical-cultural elements which have been developed by man through his gained knowledge and technology

Human beings interact with their physical environment with the help of technology. Technology indicates the level of cultural development of society.

(i)In the early stages of their interaction with their natural environment humans were greatly influenced by the nature. They adapted to the dictates of nature. This is so because the level of technology was very low and the stage of human social development was also primitive.

(ii)This type of interaction between primitive human society and strong forces of nature was termed as environmental determinism. At that stage of very low technological development, we can imagine the presence of a naturalised human, who listened to nature was afraid of its fury and worshipped it.

(iii)In this situation in early stage of man’s evolution technology development was at a low level. Man obeyed the nature and was afraid of her fury and worshipped the nature. This situation can be seen in several tribal areas in India.

(iv)The tribes of central India Abujh Maad wears a small loin cloth and has a small axe. They practice primitive agriculture by clearing a piece of land in forest. He drinks water from a stream. He gathers roots and leaves to eat. This example shows the relationship of a man and nature. 

(v)There is direct dependence of human beings on nature for resources which sustain them. The physical environment for such societies becomes the “Mother Nature”.

During the early periods of human history, men and women were greatly influenced by their surrounding environment as they used low level of technology. Also, at this time, human social development was in the earliest stages. So, humans were dictated by nature and its forces. Thus, humans were naturalised because they were afraid of nature and worshipped it. This is known as naturalisation of humans. This naturalisation of humans is termed environmental determinism.
Environmental determinism considers humans as passive agents as their decisions, attitudes and way of life are affected by nature. For example, forest dwellers and tribal societies who live deep in the forest or in secluded mountainous regions.

While the National Capital Region area of Delhi possesses the highest of the population density 2011 among the states of India having a statistics of 11,297 per square kilometre. The state with the lowest population density is Arunachal Pradesh and the Union Territory with the lowest density of population is Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The Union Territory with the highest population density is Delhi.

Geography as a field of study is integrative, empirical, and practical. Thus, the reach of geography is extensive and each and every phenomenon that varies over space and time can be studied geographically.

Human geography is defined as “the relationship between the physical/ natural and the human worlds, the spatial distribution of human phenomenon and how they come about, the social and economic difference between different parts of the world.” The core concern of geography as a discipline is to understand the earth as home of human beings and to study all those elements that have sustained them. Human geography covers a very wide range of fields. It not only studies presence of human phenomenon but also relationship of human and physical world, the pattern and distribution of human processes including both social and economical.

It makes study of geography more relevant as it tries to relate the physical and man-made world with full causal understanding hence making it more applicable to our daily lives. It not only helps us to understand various problems, their causes and effects, but also helps us in finding a suitable solution for them. In the present scenario with increasing discord between human beings and nature resulting in environmental destruction, human geography becomes all the more relevant as it explains the relationship between human and nature and thus assumes highly important role in helping to bring back the environmental symphony and hence saving our planet.

1. Areas of high Density 
(i) Monsoon Asia, South and South east Asia
(ii) Europe – river valley’s , coastal plains 
(iii) Eastern coastal region of North America 
2. Areas of Medium Density: 
(i) Asia 
(ii) Europe 
(iii) USA ,Australia 
(iv) Africa, South America 
3. Areas of low Density: 
(i) Hot Deserts
 (ii) Areas around North & South poles 
(iii) Cold Deserts 
(iv) equatorial Region

Human geography studies the inter relationship between the physical environment and socio-cultural environment created by human beings through mutual interaction with each other.
According to Ellen C. Semple, Human Geography is a study of changing relationship between unresting man and unstable earth. Wher as for Ratzel,  “Human geography is the synthetic study of relationship between human societies and earth’s surface”. 

1. Lumbering is done on a commercial scale in taiga forest because it consists of pine, spruce, and larches which are coniferous type forest.  

2. These are softwood trees in which the density of trees is less than hardwood trees.

3. Since it is full of softwood trees it is easy to cut down the trees and use it for commercial purpose.

Lumbering -> Cutting down trees and using it as wood for buildings.

India ranks 129 out of 189 countries on the 2019 Human Development Index (HDI) — up one slot from the 130th position last year — according to the Human Development Report (HDR) released by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on Monday.

A professional corporation is a business entity composed of specific types of professionals, set up according to state law. A personal services corporation is a taxing entity set up under the regulations of the IRS.

Cities accommodating populations between one to five million are called metropolitan cities.

The urban agglomerations differ from metropolitan cities in the following ways.
An urban agglomeration may consist of any one of the following three combinations :
(i) A town and its adjoining urban out growths.
(ii) Two or more contiguous towns with or without their outgrowths.
(iii) A city and one or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths forming a contiguous spread.

(i)Population composition refers to those characteristics of population which are measurable and which help us distinguish one group of people from the other.
(ii)Age, ***, literacy, occupation are some of the important components which reflect the composition of population.
(iii)These components in different societies have different proportions. They also affect the life of all the people in a society and help in setting future agenda for development.

1. Diaspora refers to a population that shares a common heritage who is scattered in different parts of the world. Migration refers to people moving to different areas in search of a settlement.
2. In the case of Diaspora, the people are very conscious of their roots and origin. In migration, this feature cannot be seen.
