Types of Migration - AP Human Geography

This type of gradual migration, from farm to village to town to big city, is known as a “step migration” because it happens in a series of steps. It is a common way by which rural families arrive in an urban setting.

"Mobility" is the ability of something or someone to move from one place or region to another. "Migration" refers specifically to groups of people or animals moving from one region or country to another. "Travel" is voluntary movement from one region to another.

Migrants do tend to relocate after they have reached their desired destination. It is also common for migrants to return to their original location. All of the other statements are true.

Internal migration involves movement within a nation-state (e.g., the United States). Mikey's movement from New York to New Hampshire is a good example of internal migration.

Hearth, relocation, expansion, hierarchical, contagious, and stimulus are all different types of diffusion.

First published in 1885, Ernst Ravenstein's Laws of Migration includes a theory highlighting the inverse relationship between the distance and volume of migration between a source and destination. Ravenstein's work still forms the basis of modern human migration theory.
