Demographic transition is change from high birthrates and high death rates to

• exponential growth.
• low birthrates and low death rates.
• low birthrates and high death rates.
• indefinite growth.

The human population experienced exponential growth just after

• agriculture began.
• plowing and irrigation began.
• the bubonic plague began.
• the Industrial Revolution began.

In countries like India, the human population is growing

• exponentially.
• transitionally.
• logistically.
• demographically.

In stage 3 of the demographic transition, birth rate starts to fall,

• so population growth starts to slow

• so population growth starts to speed up

Some countries are stuck in stage 2 of the demographic transition

• as their birth rates are still high

• as their birth rates are still low

In some areas, birth rates fell when children were forced to go to school.

• True

• False
