Analyse a world migration flow map A flow map shows a mobile geographical feature, like population movements. Arrows are normally used to connect the points of origin and destination and indicate the direction in which the movements occur. On some flow maps, the arrows are different widths. In this case, each arrow is proportional to the value it represents. These types of arrows show the direction and size of movements. (16) Between which countries are migration flows highest? Between which regions are the flows greatest? Name three countries with a high number of immigrants and three with a high number of emigrants. Where do the immigrants to the USA mainly come from? Which factors can explain this migration flow? Are there large migration movements between areas within the same country? Why do you think this is? Share the conclusions you reached by analysing the map. Your turn 1 B E A G E O G R A P H E R Take these aspects into account: The key. This contains the colours and symbols on the map and explains their meaning. The direction and width of the arrows. These identify the places of origin and destinations of migration flows, as well as their relative size.
