• Population pyramid

If I know a country's agricultural population density, then I am most likely to know

• Whether it has enough arable land to sustain its population

• Whether the country's agricultural sector is efficient and modern.

• Whether the country has a large percentage of elderly people in its population.

• What kinds of crops are likely to be grown in the country.

The number of people that a country can sustain is known as the country's

• Population density

• Population pyramid

• Carrying capacity

• Physiological capacity

What can we learn from a country's population pyramid?

• Its population density

• The sex ratio of its population

• Whether its population has enough food and medical care.

• The age structure of the population

Which of the following would a population pyramid be most helpful in determining?

• Whether a country will need more schools in the coming years.

• Whether a country will need more food imports in the coming years

• Whether a country's population is likely to grow in the coming years

• What stage of the DTM a country is currently in.
