Define migration pattern and explain its significance in understanding population distribution.

Migration pattern refers to the recurring movement of people from one place to another. It is significant because it helps in understanding how and why populations are distributed across different regions, impacting demographics, economies, and cultures.

Describe the difference between international and internal migration patterns, providing an example of each.

International migration involves movement across country borders (e.g., migration from Mexico to the United States), while internal migration involves movement within a country's borders (e.g., migration from rural areas to urban centers in China).

Explain how push and pull factors influence migration patterns. Give two examples of each type of factor.

Push factors are negative aspects that encourage people to leave a place (e.g., war, famine). Pull factors are positive aspects that attract people to a new place (e.g., job opportunities, better education).

Analyze how economic factors contribute to global migration patterns. Provide specific examples.

Economic factors such as job availability, wage differences, and economic stability significantly influence migration. For example, many people migrate from less developed countries to more developed countries in search of better economic opportunities.

How do political and social factors influence migration patterns? Discuss with examples.

Political factors like persecution, war, and instability drive people to seek refuge in safer countries. Social factors, such as discrimination or lack of social mobility, also contribute to migration patterns.
