Unit 6: Lesson 2 Review

Front

What happens to resource use if the population decreases?

Back

Resource use decreases because there are fewer people depending on these resources.

Front

What is per capita consumption?

Back

Per capita consumption refers to the average amount of a resource consumed per person in a specific area.

Front

If the population doubles and per capita consumption remains constant, what happens to total resource use?

Back

Total resource use doubles.

Front

How do you calculate total resource use?

Back

Total resource use = Per capita use × Population size.

Front

What is the definition of population?

Back

Population is the number of people within a given geographic area.

Front

What is the relationship between population size and resource use?

Back

As population size increases, resource use typically increases, assuming per capita consumption remains constant.

Front

What does it mean if per capita consumption is higher in one area than another?

Back

It means that individuals in that area consume more of the resource on average compared to individuals in the other area.

Front

What is the significance of understanding per capita consumption?

Back

Understanding per capita consumption helps in assessing resource sustainability and planning for future resource needs.

Front

What is demographic density?

Back

Demographic density refers to the number of people living per unit area of land.

Front

What is physiological density?

Back

Physiological density is the number of people per unit area of arable land.
