Unit 2 Test: Population/Migration

An example of a country with a population pyramid that has a large base is

• Japan

• Germany

• Nigeria

• United States

• Russia

The demographic transition model suggests that as countries industrialize

• In-migration increases over time

• Migration increases from urban to rural areas

• Birth rates and death rates decrease over time

• Life expectancy decreases over time

• Fertility rates increase over time

The first stage of the demographic transition model indicates that

• Total population is low and constant with high birth rates and low death rates.

• Total population is low and constant with low birth rates and high death rates

• Total population is increasing with high birth rates and low death rates

• Total population is low and constant with high birth rates and high death rates

• Total population is low and constant with low birth rates and low death rates

Which of the following is a contributing factor to the low birth rates in stage four of the DTM?

• More dependence on child labor

• Reliance on subsistence agriculture

• The education of women

• Availability of health care

• Increased sanitation

According to Thomas Malthus’ population theory, which of the following is a check humans can control on population?

• Famine

• Disease

• War

• Moral Restraint

• Disaster

Which of the following population control examples did Thomas Malthus support?

• The upper class utilizing moral restraint to limit family size

• The upper class paying additional taxes to fund family planning and cleanliness education for the poor.

• Equitably distributing food among all citizens regardless of wealth during times of famine.

• Relocating towns and cities from stagnant pools and marshy lands to promote better health among citizens.

• Widening city streets in low-income neighborhoods to reduce the crowding and spread of disease.

Which of the following is not a result of overpopulation?

• Squatter (small-poor) settlements in Rio de Janeiro

• Expansive population policy in Russia

• Deforestation in Madagascar

• Overcrowding in Mumbai

• Lack of access to food in Manila

Which of the following regions has the highest rate of natural increase?

• Sub-Saharan Africa

• North America

• Australia

• Europe

• Russian Domain

Arithmetic population density can be calculated by

• Total land area multiplied by total population

• Total land area minus total population

• Total population multiplied by total land area

• Total population minus total population

• Total population divided by total land area

The total population of developed nations can be described as having

• Higher fertility rates then undeveloped countries

• Higher crude death rates than undeveloped countries

• Higher crude birth rates than undeveloped countries

• Lower natural increase than undeveloped countries

• Lower life expectancy rates then undeveloped countries
