• Northern Europe

• Western North America

• Central South America

• Southern Africa

Use the table to help select the best answer

• Country A: it’s physiological density indicates that farmers do not have the technological resources to grow crops efficiently.

• Country A: the large difference between arithmetic and physiological density indicates that it only has a little amount of good farmland.

• Country A: it’s high arithmetic and physiological densities indicate that it needs to use a higher percentage of its land to grow crops.

• Country B: it has an arable land percentage of 16.8, which is not sufficient for growing enough food to feed everyone.

• Country B: the small difference between its arithmetic and physiological densities indicates it has ample good farmland.

The Nile River Valley has the greatest concentration of population Egypt because of its?

• Alpine climate

• Tourist Attractions

Which would BEST explain the asymmetrical part of the population pyramid?

Which statement about birth is best supported by the pyramid?

• more births occurred in 1986 than in 2006

• the number steadily increased between 1956 and 2016

• the number steadily decreased between 1956 and 2016

• fewer births occurred in 2016 and 2011

As a country's population income increases, the birth rate of that country tends to

• decrease

• drop drastically

• stays the same

• increases rapidly

What does an "upside down" population pyramid indicate?

• lots of children
  lots of children
• lots of middle age people

• little to no usable farm land 
• lots of farm land
• high urban areas
• too many people

• India

• Nigeria

• China

• Indonesia

The world's most populated region based on the number of countries it includes is
