• Hydroelectric: Water is held behind a dam forming a reservoir, then, the falling water released turns a giant turbine, that moves a generator producing electricity. China, Brazil, and Canada. Three Gorges Dam in Yangtze river, China.
• Wind: Second most used renewable energy. It has two main drawbacks: The impact of the wind farm on the landscape and the birds killed by the turbines. China, the USA, Germany, and Spain.
• Solar: We use the sun’s heat and light to produce electricity. Germany, Italy,

Traditional societies: similar to rural societies (in political, economic and cultural ways to those that existed before the industrial revolution. Also called pre-industrial.

RENEWABLE RESOURCES

Renewable resources, together with inexhaustible resources (sunlight, wind, salty water…) are fundamental because their existence and renewal depend on rational use. Examples are land and forests.

Fertile soil is one of the most important because agriculture and livestock form the basis of the global food supply, and overexploitation can use it up. Excessive use of pesticides, fertilisers and inappropriate crops make the soil less fertile, or make land disappear altogether (desertification,

  Birth and fertility rates
The birth rate is the number of births in a population in a specific period. It is measured using the crude birth rate (CBR). The world birth rate is now 20 per 1,000 (‰), but
 the figure varies according to a country’s level of development.
 The total fertility rate (TFR) is an estimate of the average number of children that a woman has during her
  lifetime (age 15-49).
A minimum of 2.1 children per woman allows generational replacement to take place. But in developed
