Population Density, Distribution and Pyramids

What word describes a pyramid shaped diagram that shows the age and gender of a population?

• population map

• standard of living

• population pyramid

• pyramid graph

• population density

Which of these best explains the high population density in China's eastern region?

• The region is not capable of supporting large scale farming

• The region is close to the ocean and has favorable climate

• The region is home to the emperor 

• The region is located near active volcanoes

• The region does not have a lot of people living in the area.

A country with a large amount of arable land and a small number of farmers will have:

• high agricultural density.

• low agricultural density.

• high arithmetic density.

• low physiological density.

• low arithmetic density

If the physiological density is much higher than the arithmetic density, then a country has:

• inefficient farmers.

• a large number of farmers.

• a small percentage of land suitable for agriculture.

• too many people for the available resources.

• a large percentage of land suitable for agriculture.

Which of the following is likely to be affected by a population of 7 billion?

• amount of land for agriculture

• amount of clean water

• number of people who are unemployed

• all of the above

• amount of air pollution in society

Predict the future population growth of this country.

• Negative Growth (the population will shrink)

• Slow/No Growth (the population will stay about the same)

• Growth (the population will definitely grow)

• Fast Growth (the population will explode)

• This country will experience a lot of positive growth.

Only a fraction of the Earth's surface is actually farmable land. This land is called:

• productive

• ecumene

• arable

• populated

• carrying capacity capable

What does an "upside down" population pyramid indicate?

• lots of children

• lots of middle age people

• lots of elderly/older people

• lots of teens

• lots of people attending college

According to the population pyramid of this country, its population is most likely...

• growing slowly.

• growing rapidly.

• decreasing.

• not changing.

• on a decline

Population density is usually higher in places

• along the coast or near water

• in the high latitudes

• in the desert

• in the mountain ranges

• with low density
