Human Population Growth

Multiple Choice

What is demography?

• Study of pollutions

• Study of birth rates

• Study of Populations

• Study of Death rates

Multiple Choice

Difference between immigration and emigration is that

• immigration is the movement out of an area while emigration is the moving into an area.

• immigration is the growth in population while emigration is the decrease of a population

• immigration is the movement into an area while emigration is the movement out of an area

Multiple Choice

Average number of years a person is likely to live

• survivorship

• life expectancy

• demography

• migration

•

Demography

–

the study of human

population growth characteristics

–

Birthrates, death rates, and age structure

of a population help predict why some

countries have high growth rates while

other countries grow more slowly.

Multiple Choice

Name the for properties scientist use to predict population sizes

• Age Structure, Fertility rates, Culture constraints, & Economic constraints

• Migration, Age Structure, Fertility Rates, & Surviorship

• Religious constraints, Surviorship, Age Structure, Migration

• Cultural constraints, economic constraints, religious constraints, and Migration.

Multiple Choice

Scientists use all of the following EXCEPT ________ to predict population size

• survivorship

• fertility rate

• migration

• industrialization

•

In the U.S, people are living longer

•

But the fertility rate is decreasing

because people are waiting until later to

have children and they have fewer

children.

Multiple Choice

The study of human population patterns

• survivorship

• life expectancy

• demography

• migration

Age Structure

•

Show the population of a

country broken down by

gender and age group

–

Help to predict if a

population is growing rapidly,

slowly, or not at all.

–

Rapid growth countries have

a wide base due to a large

number of children and

teenagers.

Multiple Choice

A population pyramid is grouped by which two factors?

• age, race

• race, gender

• age, gender

• race, literacy rate

Multiple Choice

Which factor would be most likely to cause a low life expectancy for a country

• High tech medical care

• high average incomes

• diminished food supply

• low infant mortality rates

•

If the categories

are fairly equal,

the population is

stable, neither

increasing or

decreasing

Multiple Choice

• C

Multiple Choice

Which of these population pyramids shows exponential growth in a population?

• A

• B

• C

Multiple Choice

Which of these population pyramids shows a declining population?

• A

• B

• C

Multiple Choice

Which factors might have the greatest effect on infant mortality in a country

• Parents access to education, food, fuel, and clean water

• Burning fossil fuels and populations booms

• the country's average income and parents' access to good medical care

• low life expectancy and women's fertility rates

Multiple Choice

Human population rates have skyrocketed recently mostly due to:

• the bubonic plague

• better hygiene (health care) and food

• the discovery of electricity

• improved efficiency of fuel use
