The map shows the number of people per unit of land. Which of the following types of data are shown in the map?

• Arithmetic density

• Physiological density

• Agricultural density

• Urban density

Physiological population density differs from crude population density in that physiological density

• examines only the population of cities, while crude density includes the population of cities and rural areas

• is a measure of how density is perceived, while crude density is a measure of specific density

• explains density in terms of people per arable square land unit, while crude density explains density in terms of people per total square land unit

• explains the density of a single housing unit while crude density explains the density of  a group of houses

Physiological population density is viewed as a superior measure of population density for which of the following reasons?

• It yields the average population density.

• It is more reflective of population pressure on arable land.

• It is more reflective of the world’s largest population concentrations.

• It measures the average by dividing total land area by total number of people.

One important feature of the world's population with the most significant future implications is that:

• the natural increase rate is larger every year.
• there are fewer people in the world now than at the peak of the 20th century.
• people are uniformly distributed across Earth.
• the most rapid growth is occurring in the less developed countries.

One thing that arithmetic density cannot account for is what?

• Population distribution on a global scale

• Population Distribution within a country (state)

• Global regions with high population densities.

State A has an agricultural density of 100 people per square kilometer while State B has an agricultural density of 2 people per square kilometer; which country is more developed?

• State A

• State B

What is a problem Italy will face in the future?

• An increase in population of almost 3 million people

• The death rate will increase

• Italy will have a high elderly dependency ratio

• Italy's fertility will increase

People are not distributed evenly across the world. Two-thirds of the World's population is clustered in FOUR main regions including all of the following EXCEPT

• East Asia

• Europe

• South Asia

• Southeast Asia

• North America

Which of the following represents the maximum number of people an area can support with its environmental and natural resources?

• Physiological density

• Carrying capacity

• Demographic Transition

• Infrastructure

According to the Mercator Projection, which regions show the MOST distortion?

• Only regions in the Southern hemisphere

• Only regions in the Northern hemisphere

• The polar regions

• The equatorial regions
